It’s a joke. Its just a borderline terrible joke, however. I’ve never heard it before, so I guess you could say it’s original, that’s about it. The subject matter isn’t the actual issue. Is a person like Norm MacDonald (or any other famous comedian) a terrible human being because of “offensive” humor?? [MOD]
Why do professional athletes get paid the amounts of money they get paid? The real issue here is that Laine is seeing any of this AND GIVES ANY f*** AT ALL ABOUT THESE PEOPLE. You wanna passive aggressive dose of reality, that I’m sure will be acceptable because it’s also taking shit against these people?? That dude making that comment is probably LITERALLY more “sad” about life than Laine is. Except this is HIS way to express it as he has no “support system”, emotionally or financially, in any means similar to a millionaire athlete.
How “sad” do you have to be to think that line is funny? Where does the “sympathy” begin and end??
And really, damn, how have I never thought about Elaine before. Dude needs to realize his life is better than the VAST majority of people on earth.
