And you think this picture is a big part of that?
We all cringe. And when people joke about something that makes them cringe, it's not simply for laughs, or to be cold, it's to relieve the discomfort. That's part of being human.
Yes, you can joke all you want and make people cringe all you want, it's how you make your point. But I'm not like that, I prefer a less crude approach. I think it's important to show that we're not all alike. You have your ways, I have mine.
You really need to broaden you understanding about people and cultural norms, and not boil it all down to some bizarre oxymoron in you mind where people are being "crude puritans."
LOL No, I'm doing just fine. I want to be me, not you or anyone else. To each his own. I don't place a lot of importance in following the herd in the crudeness department.
I got your point from your first post and gave you the benefit of the doubt, but you're still missing the political point completely and have no sense of humor whatsoever.
I have a sense of humor, it just doesn't extend to areas that hurt people and incest jokes are very offensive and hurtful.
The joke is about the publicity photo in the context of the Gore family campaign to make him a sex symbol. It's not about actual incest, it's about how they like to play up daddy's sexiness and leave us guessing.
That's too much of a leap for me to accept to the point of false inuendo and taking a chance at being wrong and a false accusor. To me it just looks like a family photo. The Kennedys were masters at this kind of stuff and everyone tries to do it.
