I hit submit instead of preview and tried to fix quickly. So? That doesn't make me wrong any more than saying 'that's just your opinion' does, does it?

Edited one time.

/golfclap You really showed me there.

A position is obviously not "wrong" simply as a function of it's being "your opinion." But you certainly haven't given any support for why your position - that political humor is handled differently in the game than in the show - is a belief that is shared by anyone, let alone is "probably" the cause for most of the negative posts. I think this is especially clear when you consider many of the "anti-political" posts are expressly complaining about the Republican party being targeted or that politics generally should be kept out of the game.

This is exactly my point, acutally: the posts are about anti-Republican political jokes because that's the only kind the game has. Unlike the show, the game's political humor is particularly 'sharp' and very one sided. The fact that it's only anti-republican jokes that are getting complaints does not prove that the Democrats are less likely to react negatively to 'sharp' satire: it's because they don't have anything to complain about in that department. I think this adequately explains why people who presumably enjoy the show do not enjoy the game's political humor: it is different.

It's very hard to prove a negative. I can not 'demonstrate' that absence of 'sharp' anti-Democrat political humor in the game. I can only fail to find evidence of it. Can you find evidence of 'sharp' anti-Democrat political humor to prove me wrong?

Smell ya later. Smell ya later, forever, WhosMarge.

Oooh, another zinger. :roll:

By the way, you screwed up your italics there. You could always do what I ordinarily do when I make an error in a post, and edit it.
