The Definition Of 'Funny' Has Changed, But Not Everyone Got The Memo
-
An unpaid columnist for a small town paper got himself fired for a column making fun of a fat guy he sat next to on an airplane, and without reading the alleged-humor column in question, it's hard to tell how much over the line he went, but let's face it, old folks have been doing and saying things a certain way for years, and the societal changes of the past few years have been so fast that some of them, like this guy, probably don't even think of fat jokes and gay jokes and sexist jokes as a problem, because it wasn't -- for them -- until now. Should he have gotten a warning or one-strike-you're-out? (Minneapolis Star Tribune)
