Speak of the Week #8 - Homosexuals Are Repressed Heterosexuals
May 25th 2008 03:18
I remember way back in highschool we were once asked to give an oral presentation on a specific subject matter. Being the asshole I was I wanted to do something rather unconventional.. now of course to do something 'unconventional' you have to find something which is conventional. Back then (and still today) I was a fan of political humour but observed all political humour seems to be 'liberally biased'. I set out to give a conservative stand up routine, if there ever was such a thing.
Being the centrist I am I have a firm belief liberals don't have a monopoly on humour (even if they are so damn good at it) however conservatives are just too boring and serious to crack jokes. So I sit down and scribble away coming up with ideas for conservative flavoured jokes and explanations for why there is not a fool who sits on the right side of the fence game enough to say the jokes. It was titled "Homosexuals Are Repressed Hetrosexuals - If Conservatives Were Funny They'd Be Me".
Perhaps I didn't try enough hard on the humour or just couldn't be stuffed or whatever I ended up rewriting most of it to answer the question of why conservatives aren't funny, I did however keep the title which I quite liked.
So why aren't conservatives funny? Buggered all if I know, but maybe it has something to do with how tight arsed they are.
For the record I never did give the speach, I backed out and did a generic one. As gutsy as I was I figured I didn't want to get in trouble over an assignment like this. Still, I wish I had a copy of what I wrote. Maybe one day I'll try to re-write it, if I ever get the chance.
So what does this have with the week? I really dunno, I'm just tired and wa
