my sig is offensive?

I got a message from KA asking me to change it. I'm confused, cause it's just a comic expressing a political viewpoint. it's not naked clowns or a jesus dildo or anything. so, enlighten me?

Re: my sig is offensive?

  • I think it's funny.  Is it the "s" word, as they say in grade school?  Or just the fact that it's political?
  • You can't just go around calling people "white" Lala.

  • I think it's funny.
    That said, I suppose the S word is offensive.  Might not have been asked to change your siggy if there wasn't a swear word in it.
    And there's probably something offensive about the concept of cutting off aid to minorities and minority issues, especially in the name of white power.
  • ::shrug::
    it may be the "s" word, but considering some of the other sigs I've had that didn't get reported, I'm still confused. I thought this was just funny.
  • Hmm...? Someone that takes offense to everything probably found a way for it to be offensive and complained about it.

    I might be offended if I were a tea bagger.

    But then, I'd probably be more offended to belong to a political group dubbed "tea baggers."

  • and really, the tea party sets themselves up for these things.
  • God Lala! WTF? How dare you say the "S" word?? I'm so offended.

  • I think it's funny that Kristin thinks it's funny.

    Maybe blur out the "hit" and see if she still yells at you.

    in that case, can I be "offended" when soneone has a Fox News sig?
  • I thought it was funny too. Oh well! Maybe change the sign he's holding to say, "waa-waa, waa-waa-waa-waaaaa" like the adults in the Peanuts cartoons.
  • I don't see how it's any more offensive that some of the crap I see in sigs....

  • I'd just like to know who complained. I guess I'm hoping they'll sack up.
  • I thought it was quite amusing.

  • I'm offended by it because people with 3 fingers scare the shiit out of me.
  • On another note, they MAKE Jesus dildos?

    I'm offended that you're offended.
  • If someone reported you with out telling you first, there is no way they will fess up now.  I think it's funny!

  • You should change your sig to this:

  • my guess is heels, but that's only because of a disagreement we had last week. and the fact that she leans to the right.
  • Well, and there is that whole BLOCK SIGNATURES feature...

    So like...if someone had an anti jim halpert signature, I would just block them all to save me from any sort of mental breakdowns.

  • Did someone report you?

  • I can't actually imagine heels reporting a sig.
    image
  • but then they'd have to block all sigs, not just ones that they don't agree with, right?

    or maybe they could grow up and realize that everyone has different points of view, and that they don't get to be catered to all the time. holy entitlement.
  • "really" should be at the end of my question.
