Offensiveness...

sicker, does the joke have to be funnier to justify it? Does the sick
content make the joke funnier? How much funnier?
These are the sorts of questions we at Dirty Blondes wrestle with every
day. What's more gigglesome: herpes or chlamydia?
As you may know: in the past we have stopped at nothing, not even the
tragic deaths of innocent children, in our quest to find the comedic
image that would turn your stomach as it tickled your funnybone. As
our appeal widens, however, we may well have to dilute the cordial of
bile with jokes and references to diseases other than cancer.
Are we losing our edge? Did we ever have an edge? If The Edge were to
appear in a sketch would that be a good or bad thing?
Over to you...

As they say in the Army; a good offense is often the best defence, so
if you are feeling a bit insecure then your best position may as well
be offensive.
Personally I don't think you ever have to be rude. After all there is
nothing funnier than a story about how satisying it is pay your phone
bill on time or a solid gag about the inner growth you experience when
taking the flak for other people's mistakes at work, but then I am an
old-fashioned comedy purist.
Finally; Herpes is the answer to your first question and don't ever get
the Edge on stage with you he is an utter cunt!

[RED] issue of The Independent the Edge took full advantage of his
newfound freedom. After three days searching we found him crouched in
a corner of an opium den, shitting into the mouth of a Malawian AIDS
orphan, humming 'Feed The World'.
In answer to the other questions, it is never appropriate to be
offensive for humour's sake.
