No problem. I honestly don't believe there is any subject in the world that is too taboo to laugh at at some point, but I DO expect it to be laughed at to some kind of purpose or with some way of revealing an insight. I feel that laughter at taboo subjects should serve a purpose to take some of the power away from the horrible things and make those who laugh see it as the senseless thing it is, not to make victims feel like nobody gets it. Seth doesn't seem to get this about off-color comedy and rarely, if ever, brings anything new or meaningful to the table that hasn't already been said by someone else more gracefully or more humorously. Comedy should shed some light on things to some degree, and if that is the case, his is a wet match in a dark cave.
I just thought your insight was not only honest, but important to point out. I think Seth has some kind of problem that he needs to work through, because the guy seems to have a fixation on things like this. He can, on occasion, make me laugh pretty hard, but I find watching most of his stuff a little arduous I guess?
And yes. I've started picking out our colors and cake already.
