:::::At a Hollywood-type gathering earlier this year, where mocking people who are more conservative than the performers has long been customary, the emcee mocked the performers themselves instead, and they were furious about it. Double standard?--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 00:06, 14 May 2011 (EDT)

::::::Most humor assumes a certain shared perspective, and it is only funny if one shares that perspective. Others who are starting from a different perspective won't find the joke funny. This is true whether one is a conservative, a liberal, a whatever. Humor is a very in-group thing. [[User:Maratrean|Maratrean]] 00:10, 14 May 2011 (EDT)

::::::I wasn't denying there was any humor involved. I simply can't see what it has to do with THAT part of the article. There might be links to athiesm and obesity (which i don't believe given most of my athiest friends are skinny, and i know plenty of overweight biblical, fundamentalist Christians). The probolem i have here, as do many of us apparently, is that we are randomly pointing out PZ is fat in the article, with no real reason to be doing so in that part of the article.--[[User:SeanS|SeanS]] 08:19, 17 May 2011 (EDT)
