In Which Holy Taco Apologizes

 

We had a gallery up ysterday that has since been taken down, which we decided, upon reflection, was in poor taste.  How can a site that publishes open letters to the makers of KY consider anything in poor taste?  We just can, we’re normal people, we get flogged by paid mistresses one leg at a time, just like you.

 

 
Yesterday’s gallery made fun of some geeks and we figured that was mean spirited.  This isn’t just a bro site, it’s a site for everyone and we fell into the trap of taking the easy way out of something.  Everyone who writes for this site has been doing comedy for years.  Our managing editor Ian Fortey was a columnist for Cracked.com and contributed to sites like Gunaxin,com, collegehumor.com and Funnycrave.com amongst others and in that time we’ve all learned and observed that negativity is the easiest way to make jokes.  Look at any site and you’ll see the same thing.  Movie critics relish ripping into a bad movie and can get many more quotable lines than they will praising a good movie.
 
It’s not that we want to be negative, it’s just thsat a Maddox-style rant can be powerfully hilarious.  Anger, frustration, fear and disappointment can lead to awesome comedy.  It’s easy and relatable for an audience as well.
 
However, taking cheap shots (don’t get us wrong, we love cheap shots and Glenn Beck is a bubble-headed twat) at some folks just out for a good time seemed, in retrospect, like it wasn’t as funny as it could have been, it was just easy.  We’re not above easy comedy, but it has to be good too.  We have some standards around here.  So we apologize and offer you this delightful photo,

    See, I like mocking celebrities, I like mocking hobos, politicians, retards, foreigners, the rich, the poor, the unnatractive, the sexually confused, the sexualy promiscuous, pop culture and CHUDs.  But onlyif it makes me laugh.
     
    You know what that gallery stopped making me laugh?  When I came up with Anime Character # 7845 or whatever it was.  I was tapped out.
     
    Bubba Fett made me laugh though.

  5. skippy mcphiff says:

  6. Ian Fortey says:
    Savvy on everything, skippy.  Everything. 
     
     
    Who’s Trevor?
  7. Adam says:

    I liked Bubba Fett as well, and have had some success with the term Boba Fatt. But you are right, many of the names were about as lame as the costumes.

    We’re fairly politically savvy around here.  We always vote for the best comptrollers and everything.
  11. Ian Fortey says:
    I just want all the people who comment on our articles to know that I love them.  Guys, I love you.  And by love I mean the sticky kind.  I love you.  Thank you for reading.

  13. Anonymous says:

    You like making fun of politicians?

    I’m still waiting for the Al Gore and his “second chakra” column…

  14. JJ says:

    i knew a couple of people in your gallery and you guys did the right thing by taking it down..

  15. skippy mcphiff says:

    “Savvy” on Arizona?

    ………whatever you say Trevor

  16. HandyJ says:

    I agree, the captions were mostly not hilarious. The BO apology picture has been long overdue.

  17. Ian Fortey says:
    Like i’d be writing on the internet if i had my own vagina to play with.
  18. Jean-Claude Van Damme says:

    Did you guys just grow vaginas? Making fun of geeks is my favorite thing to do when im not making awesome movies, and you guys just lost the right to watch them. Pussies!

  19. ominous says:

    I think I found it and it is…very unfunny. But hardly in poor taste, just stupid. You pussies were right to take it down, just do it for the right reasons next time.

  20. Ian Fortey says:
    Don’t mock my vagina.
  21. Yurtle says:

    Half the shit you posted over the past few months was a lot less funny than the gallery of people dressed up like idiots.

  22. nlght says:

    damn i missed it too.

    why are you guys acting like pussies, if your going to do something follow through with it, dont put it out take it back and apologize like a BITCH

  23. Ian Fortey says:
    Once it was all together it just wasn’t funny, that was the problem.  Some of it was, but the whole thing?  Meh.  I’d rather retract smething I’m not proud of then keep it up on the site.
  24. Bob says:

    Not true, monkey boy; Im having this scary ass grin right now, just thinking about you and your sort.

  25. Technology says:

    What is the guy thinking in the green?

  26. JP says:

    What was this gallery you speak of? Could it possibly be more offensive then making an AIDS meme?

  27. Ian Fortey says:
    Probably not, no.
  28. ominous says:

    anyone have a cached version? I missed it.

    And apologizing is for pussies.

  29. Ian Fortey says:
    Sorry.  Wait!  Shit.
  30. bro says:
