My most sincere apologies to anyone who was offended whilst reading "Whats in a name?" regarding naming the male genitalia.

My jokes are certainly not posted for the purpose to shock or offend but rather entertain.

So, I am very sorry to those who didn't appreciate the posting of the joke.

ASB - edited for spelling
 
Aussie shark bait, no worries. I appreciate anything that makes me laugh.
 
i always think it's the other persons fault they got offended, if you didn't mean to offend them. different ppl think differently, that's nothing to apologise for.

i didn't get a chance to read the jokes though. :)
 
Aussie, Now I'm curious. What is the thread you're apologizing for? I want to see!

Me too! If it's been pulled or something, can you pm it to me? I promise, male genitalia don't offend me.
Thanks!
 
While I don't see it as particularly offensive (and am not the one who pulled it) ... you all need to remember that this isn't an adults-only board. There are some forums on here that are dedicated to our younger (adolescent and younger) members.

When posting something, ask yourself ... if you had a 12-14 year old daughter, would you want her reading it? If the answer is no, it doesn't belong here. Because many of our readers are in that age group

i second what Bob said (i wasn't the one who pulled it either, btw).

the issue is not anyone getting offended, but rather keeping the topics and language
PG-13 for the benefit of our family-oriented atmosphere
 
I agree, but you have to ask yourself at the same time "is this kind of stuff anything like as bad as what they hear in school?"

Sometimes comedy is just plain funny, sometimes it oversteps the mark, depends on the audience and the delivery. Most of ASB's stuff is just plain funny (at least to most people), one slip up and a thread deletion - not a bad record. I know i have had a few pulled, partly due to me, partly due to hijacks/flame wars - its part of the course.
 
why shouldn't a 14 year old know what a genetalia is or see one for that matter?
it won't turn anyone into a monster. but anyhow, i still don't know the joke. pm me plz?
