"Jihadi Von"

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

...and nothing funny about this thread: at best in bad taste and at worst an excuse to describe a group of people in a stereotypical (and therefore wildly inaccurate) tabloid/rascist fashion whilst, through such "humour", taking away from the very nasty facts upon which the thread relies. :roll:

Victim of Circumstance wrote:I do think there are topics which are too severe to make jokes about
I disagree. Here's another one:

Three guys, a Canadian, Calif Ibrahim of the IS and Von are walking
together one day. They come across a lantern and a Genie pops out of it.

"I grant you a wish, each. Choose carefully!" says the Genie.

"I am a farmer, I want all of the land of Canada to be forever fertile", says
the Canadian. POOF, Canada is forever made fertile for farming.

The Calif is astonished and quickly praises Allah. Then he demands:
"I want a mighty wall around the whole Middle East so no infidel can
ever come in again." -- POOF, and the Genie makes it so.

Now it's Von's turn. He rolls up his eyes in thought, pondering.
After a long while, he says to the Genie: "Tell me more about this wall."
The Genie explains, "Well, it's about a mile high, a mile wide and gapless.
It is as strong as Suleika's thighs and nothing can ever get in or out."

Von smiles. "Fill it with water."

It's an oldie, but a goodie - I heard this when the protagonists were Rabin and Arafat, and the wall was around Israel.

Perhaps the original post would have been better in the Joke of the Day section.

Well, if I can choose between cringing in terror, howl in frustration and yelling louder and louder about their atrocities each and every day, or put up the proverbial middle finger and laugh IS in the face, I choose the latter.

Each to his/her own I guess.

True, and I seldom cry these last coppola years. I'm done with that.

Maybe I just don't share your sense of humour.

Free speech and all that.
I agree with you Hom. Don't know why Xidioux would find this funny.
For a start, this is several steps removed from actually making fun of the victims of psychopathic, deluded scumbags like JJ, which I would never do. It's just having a gentle poke at Von. If you don't find this funny, you wouldn't find many of the things that Von himself finds funny, funny. Humour has a long and many-splintered history as a means of coping with adversity/tragedy, in The Sisters' music and elsewhere. Lastly, all effective humour is subversive; that's the whole point of it.
