Just a reminder since he has now been arrested. No ped jokes allowed.

Not that I have any, but why would Michael Jackson ped jokes be off limits?

Peetster

From the tilted Humor rules found here:

bonbonbox

However, an arrest does not a conviction make. So are they still funny?

shakran

I think our mod came across wrong. Michael Jackson pedophile jokes are always banned. They haven't only recently been banned just because he's been arrested.

I was confused at first too

saut

None of those jokes have ever been funny anyway.

FoolThemAll

Oh, I know one that was genuinely funny. I guess one could pm me if they want to hear it.

I could see banning all ped jokes, but not singling out Michael Jackson jokes in particular. See, the best humor is topical and biting. It hurts, and it allows others to laugh. The closer to the target, the better it is. Unfortunately, Michael is potentially a real sicko that has broken beyond the boundaries of what society will accept.

Latch

Have you ever heard the one about Jack Michaelson...

just kidding

Peetster

Good, because that's the rule. We are simply reminding people that, due to the publicity, there will be a rash of MJ jokes circulating. They are typically ped in nature, which is strictly prohibited.

cameroncrazy822

Here's an old one... Michael Jackson!

Unless it's against our rules- which it is- so no, you still can't post any.

tekaweni

...not even the buns one?

Can we post boy scout jokes? What if they are Eagle scouts that are over 18?

dajoma79

you should simply state that all michael jackson jokes are banned. I haven't heard a michael jackson joke in the last two years that wasn't in some way ped. Nudity is less offensive than jokes? hmm.

how does michael jackson pick his nose?

from a catalog!


heck i probably heard it on this board, but theres one thats not ped

cameroncrazy822

Just watch/read any biography of his life.... that's the funniest Jcko joke possible. The guy is a freak. Way too eccentric and now it's seems deviant. What a shame he has come from the top of his professional to become the punch-line of a joke.

sob

I hate to argue with a guy who agrees with me on gun control, but here's the part I need to clarify--the "offensive" part.

No Michael Jackson jokes. No ped jokes. I have to assume there can be no jokes about the French, because those are offensive to the French. Same for those of middle eastern descent.

No Polish jokes. No Jewish mother jokes. No gay jokes. No Catholic priest jokes. The death penalty for a joke that has a black in it.

I assume blonde jokes are okay, because they're basically Polish jokes, but since the butt of the joke is white, no problem.

And judging from what I can see in the vasectomy thread, it's fine to make fun of poor white people in Southern states. Guess that isn't offensive.

So for anyone who hasn't figured out the point of this message, banning topics doesn't promote world peace. In fact, I doubt that a joke exists that isn't offensive to someone.

I can deal with jokes that ridicule my ethnicity/location/intelligence/religion/sexual preference. If another person can't, they need a lot more help than this ban is going to give them.

My $.02

giantpizzaman

AUGH! thats the most disturbing thing ever lol

You say "hmm." Does this imply that you're trying to work out if ped jokes are as offensive as nudity, or did you just miss the point of the thread? hmm.

cooperricko

G'day,

Why are you discussing this blot on the world? To give even foolish chatter about this idiot merely promotes his image one way or the other. Best off leave him out of the world

maximoff72

Funny.. there's only one joke MJ joke on this whole page!

Hite Reporter

AMEN!

Jokes, by thier nature tend to offend. I personaly have no intrest in Ped jokes (sick) but I think it's silly to say I can't say them if I want too.

John

NosVette

I agree. There is no joke that I can find that does not offend someone. I have one question about this forum... who are we trying to stop from viewing "Offensive" Material? This is an 18+ Forum! We can act in porn and kill people for our country but not tell a sick joke? I respect your rules because hell, it's my choise to post here so I have to deal with how you want to run the forum. Bt seriously, it is also the responsibility of people who don't want to be offended to KEEP THIER NOSE OUT OF THE BUISNESS OF PEOPLE WHO FIND FUCKED UP HUMOR FUNNY! YOU CHOOSE WHETHER OR NOT TO READ IT! IF YOU CHOOS THE FORMER, JUST SHUT UP! For SHAME dude!

beteez2

How about catholic priest jokes instead?

JackBurton

Hey guys and gals.

I'm sort of new here, and hope posting a link to another site is cool.

But this sound board it pretty funny. Kinda hard to make a decent prank call with... unlike the Arnie and Al Pacino boards.

Mango

Wow, I never realized just how anal the rules on the TFp were until now. I knew they were anal but come on they're fucking jokes.

Ishmal

well... i'm new here 2 and i'm gunna follow Jacks example...

if Michael Jackson jokes are banned here...

i'll recommend... http://williambader.com/mj.html

that kewl??

Strip Poker 388

If they are offended let them buy a sence of humor.

Nice site

LoganSnake

I actually agree 100%. There isn't a single joke that is not offensive to at least one person. I understand that pictures of persons under 18 aren't allowed on this message board, but these are jokes you're talking about and should be taken as such. I've seen much more offensive misogynistic jokes posted here than any MJ joke could ever achieve.

My $.02 as well.

Whether or not you agree with the rules in regards to their limitation of certain jokes, they are the rules. When you signed up here you agreed to follow the rules of the forum, including the ones governing the appropriateness of a joke. If you truly want Michael Jackson/ped jokes, for whatever reason, there are plenty of sites out there with more content on the subject than the average person can stand. Halx and co. are just covering their asses because if they don't make the rules banning offensive jokes like that, they will get posted and it'll be Mods and Admin who have to deal with all the complaints.

Yes, you're right that if people can't take a joke they probably need to relax a little. That, however, doesn't mean that they will. In fact, as far as I've noticed, saying that to them only serves to spur them harder on.

paulskinback

I agree - the funniest joke about him is the fact that he lives in a dreamworld, and is indeed a living joke. that has to make him a fucking legend.

hooray for MJ

hee-hee, sha-mon

Darn, finally a post I could ad to, and I'm not allowed?! I have some good ones, too... Guess I'll 'Beat It'.

TheHornDog

true ... not funny if not funny to all!

Fiver

I would agree, however , I think alot of people in the world are ignoring that he may have done some terrible things ( I think we should leave it to the courts to decide all that) . I just worry that some people do not give this proper consideration. Mike Tyson is a similer case.

BAMF

i had a joke deleted by a mod. It was about a clown, and some woods. The reason I got from the mod was the freakiest part. According to the mod, a ped joke on a forum that is mostly used for porn would lead to people succombing to their urges and assulting children.

That is not verbaitm, but it is the gist of it.

Tophat665

Im almost certain that you missed an important distinction. It is not that a paedophilia joke would lead people to do anything at all, it is that paedo jokes and porn together can present the appearance of untoward actions to the kind of people who are professional shit disturbers/self-righteous busy-bodies/anointed by THE LORD to make sure no one is having too much fun. You know who I am talking about. While I am not seriously saying anyone in the present administration reads TFP, I am saying that there are people out there who make the current administration look like frickin libertines who would gleefully pounce on this sort of thing, rightly or not.

So basically, if I understand it correctly, the mods and admins are just trying to not buy trouble. That's fair. And if not, there's always the bottom line: Hal's house, Hal's rules.
