Well, I really was responding more to a post that I see has been removed with my "attack" comments.
Webster defines "analogy" as "simularity in some respects between things otherwise unlike". I wonder sometimes if folks really understand the use of analogy in debate...I'm not saying Stern=Hitler, rather I'm comparing philosophical constructs involving the dynamics of human behavior. If a person listens to Stern and adopts a similar view of what constitutes "humor", then that is the same dynamic involved in someone adopting the same point of view as Hitler and acting based on same! Don't get hung up on degree...certainly Stern isn't responsible for slaughtering innocent people but the adaptation of mindsets is the commonality! Folks always seem to have trouble with this...this is a valid analogy the way I've used it!

Somer,

With all due respect, when you're using Hitler in the same sentence with Stern, it just doesn't look right. I would bet my hard earned money (small amount that it is, haha) that Stern does NOT have the same mindset or point of view as Hitler.

As for the analogy, you are still off in what you are trying to say. Stern isn't trying to convert anyone to his way of thinking, Hitler made you believe what his beliefs were or else. Stern does a show, trying to entertain and make the morning not so boring at work. you don't like it, don't listen. The way you are using it almost anything can be used in an analogy with Hitler. Now doesn't that seem foolish.

You say you don't get personal:
"bored person"
"casts spells"
Get out away from that TV"
Wow, I'm glad you don't feel the need to get personal!

Stern makes money because he is funny and has surrounded himself with funny people. His show is very funny and entertaining. Which is what it is for. Entertainment. Pure and simple. I personally find what they do pretty funny because I can laugh at myself as well. It's all in good humor. Why does everything have to be so serious?
And what about Simon Cowell. He certainly seems to make his living from making fun of people. Doesn't seem to stop you from watching. Is he what is wrong with the world. I think a problem with the world is people don't laugh anymore. Everything is so PC and people walk around with a stick up their a$$es. Loosen up man.

OMG Dahoss, you are my new hero.

I've made fart stains better than Clay Aiken.

Somer,

You're not alone. I don't find humor in other people's misfortunes either. I can assure you guys that I don't have a stick up my a$$ either.

Okay guys...play nice. i only commented on that website because I think the whole idea that American Idol actually is representative of the talent in America is rather absurd...it is a bizarre popularity contest that has less to do with talent than how the public views you...much like the high school "loser" that ends up getting voted prom king...more of a stunt than reality.

Sanjaya is NOT good...and yet people vote for him. Why? to piss off true fans of the show and the judges, and to see a train wreck carry on...it's the American way...

Yeah, and I find him funny most of the time. With that said, I don't find humor in making fun of people that are dead. (Don't care who it is that is doing it.)

I think you underestimate the power of my farts.
