Barbaro Continues To Inspire D-Mac Hatred

Barbaro
Looks like Mark B. Cohen isn't the only person who calls my boss to complain about jokes I make. But Cohen, to his credit, understands what I do here.

A fella by the name of Dennis left a message for my boss in response to this throwaway post about dead horses I did yesterday. He actually has more in common with Ron Paul's fans than he does with Rep. Cohen.

I happened to stumble upon Philadelphia Weekly, and I found something written by a gentleman by the name of Daniel McQuade... This gentleman, and I use that term loosely, because I highly doubt he's a man, says: [here he quotes me]

So I'm curious as to why Philadelphia Weekly is promoting cruelty to animals. And I'm gonna go down and contact every company that's advertising on your site and ask them the same question as to why they're advertising with a company that promotes cruelty to animals.

If I could get some answers, that would be great. I don't understand if this guy's just an idiot, if he's a drug addict, maybe he's never gotten laid in his life, I don't know. But whoever things that harming animals is something that deserves to be rewarded is mind-bloggling to me. it reflects very poorly on your company institution. I assume you want to be a real newspaper or publishing company, but man oh man, that doesn't look good.

Have fun dealing with this guy, uwishunu!

Update: Barbaro fans have entered the fray!

Be careful, D-Mac. If these people do to you what they did to Mike Vick, YOU'LL NEVER PLAY FOR THE FALCONS AGAIN!

Dude, I told you, those Barbaro people are legit. God speed.

I hear Barbaro was a real asshole.

I used to be really cruel to animals until I got laid for the first time. Now I get along with animals great.

You dont have to be a Freud or an Einstein to know that it is not just a matter of a "simple" joke,....it is a HARMFUL (attempt) at a joke.....you're total lack of COMPASSION for the suffering OR DEATH of ANY living thing is DEPLORABLE - you are setting a BAD example to the rest of the world to be broadcasting that type of CALLOUS attitude over the air waves. There are morons out there that will think your joke was funny,.....for they are compassionless idiots also. They would have to be to think you're 'joke" was funny. What kind of example are you setting for our youth? You really should be ashamed of yourself, but of course, you need a working, HEALTHY BRAIN to feel that.
"Until he extends the circle of compassion to all living things, Man will not himself find peace." - Dr. Albert Schweitzer
May you NEVER find peace.

IF YOU ARE NOT A PART OF THE SOLUTION, YOU ARE A PART OF THE PROBLEM, You compassionless JERK(S)

So, Chris Jubic, I need this clarified: Are Barbaro jokes funny?

Posted by: Double D at November 15, 2007 06:02 PM

What about Jim O'Brien jokes? Because I laughed pretty hard at those as a kid. Can someone tell a Jim O'Brien joke so I can see whether they're still funny? D-Mac, do you have any good Jim O'Brien jokes?

I USE caps at RANDOM to emphasize WORDS I think ARE important. I also use QUOTES because that's what are on the INSPIRATIONAL POSTERS lining my CUBICLE wall.

Mind-bloggling. I like that. Not sure what, exactly, a mind-blog would be, but I like it.

For those of you low lifes. The Fans of Barbaro are a strong group just as strong as Barbaro was. If you don't have anything nice to say about a CHAMPION who has now passed on. SHUT THE HELL UP! How about some respect for the dead... or haven't you been taught that yet.

Posted by: Renee/FOB at November 16, 2007 11:04 AM

But you just said it...Barbaro is dead, right?

Doesn't project an image of strength to me.

Posted by: Urbanus at November 16, 2007 01:10 PM

Yeah! Because FOB also practices the humane art of free speech repression!

Fun Barbaro Fact #153: He was a direct descendant of Josef Stalin.

As one of the devoted FOB's I find all the "clever" comments disgusting. Surely there are real issues confronting your crime ridden city which just might be more important than mocking the many million people who love this amazing horse. He was a champion in life and in death he continues to inspire people who never saw a horse race in their lives to open their hearts and wallets to help find a cure for Laminitis. Your "oh so Hip" attitude might be popular with Michael Vick fans but not so much with real human beings.
