Will Ferrell Accepts RHCP Chad Smith's Drum Challenge

Post by **Jorge** » Sun February 16, 2014 10:26 pm

I dunno, I think making fun of mental illness as a putdown is a shitty thing to do. I understand Chad Smith's use of it because he was being jokey and deliberately ridiculous to play up his "feud" with Ferrell, but LuNY telling Harmless he takes meds "for the crazies", then posting a video of a babbling Charles Manson (when Harmless's posts, as a whole, make a lot more sense than LuNY's meandering ramblings) is mean-spirited and ableist.

Seconded. Seconded so hard.
Yes, what a serious transgression. Telling someone to jokingly "take their meds" is an offence that should be punished by a firing squad. Everyone is right, you are a serious intellectual force.
It was fine when harmless said it, but when I agreed, Dev got an internet boner and had to jump in because he'd lose sleep for nights on end if he passed up a chance to carry on his crusade against me.

But you're right. I definitely said "is an offence that should be punished by a firing squad." Or at least, we can all agree that seconding someone's assessment that a comment was "fucking stupid" is really the same thing as saying "is an offence that should be punished by a firing squad."

What you need to understand is that I am able to communicate in far less literal terms than you because I take myself far less seriously than you do.

Does your girlfriend think it's weird that you call her "Lament" when you're making love to her, Dev?

I guess she doesn't

You know someone can find a joke funny and someone else could be offended by it and both be "right". Wah.

Example? Sorry I don't spend hours making my posts, I post something quickly, usually for humor or if I find a PJ article, or say War Child (charity for the harms of war) People take themselves way too seriously on this forum, like it fucking matters. Long drawn out posts about Sirens or something. Sad. Like "oh god Eddie took a picture with One Direction, what does this mean for MEEEEE and my crazy fucking sad lifeeeee."

Seriously though I doubt harmless is mentally ill and I don't want to insult anyone really. The meds thing is Chads fault. Fuck you Chad Smith.

So what, if you say something that someone else finds offensive, then they're taking themselves too seriously, you're not being a douche?

If nobody finds stuff funny other than yourself you may wish to work on your comedy routine.

harmless · Post by **harmless** » Mon February 17, 2014 9:23 am

Like it fucking matters.

You know, I still enjoy the occasional spin of Blood Sugar Sex Magik.

That's got some good tunes on it.

In this situation? The one having ableist slurs thrown at me and being called 'over-sensitive' for not liking it. You can take the other role if you want.
