Basically, I agree that it comes down to the fact that the only reason there is a controversy is that so many people are "humor challenged". |
Offtopic but, For some reason, I find the phrase "I eat glue" on a shirt to be absolutely hilarious, so I'm not entirely against "stupid humor" either. ![]() |
None of the slogans made me laugh out loud, but I could definitely see the humour in them, as well as the basic message.
The problem is that so many people are concerned more about what other people do, rather than what is going on in their own lives. If someone wants to proclaim that "I can't, I'm Mormon", what difference does that make? It's like making a fuss because someone likes rum flavoured ice cream. If you (or I) don't like it, or don't think it is appropriate, then we should stay away from it. We shouldn't be boycotting the company that makes it, or trying to hurt them (which demanding that the ads be removed is - a boycott). Of course, by demanding that the ads be removed, they have provided lots of free advertising.

I cant because I'm mormon sounds ok to me. I cant because my beliefs wont let me might be more accurate, temptation was designed to be nice or enticing,so our beliefs are meant to protect us, good and evil are meant to have equal weight. the blessings or cursings from the lord are equal and opposite too.
