“Why Should I Change My Name? He’s The One Who Sucks!”
More feedback generated by ODE cartoonist Aaron DuChateau, here. (Apparently, he referred to perennial campus nuisance Frog as an “ass clown”, and the community was scandalized. Scandalized!) It was a while ago, and Tyler has spoken wisely there already, but I point it out for this defense of DuChateau from always quotable Commentary Editor Ailee Slater:
Furthermore, “Ass-Clown” sigifies both immature laughter as well as deep seated anger: The word is a humorous oxymoron in itself, and its inclusion within this cartoon was therefore warranted.
Um, Ailee – quite apart from anything else – this word… I do not think it means what you think it means.
If the extremely sensitive ODE readers who left comments are right, though, and “ass clown” is defamatory, Michael Bolton is going to have one hell of a lawsuit.
He asks me if I’ve ever seen the funniest book alive, I always respond “Yes, the Communist Manifesto is quite a laugh”.
He shuts up.
But how else is he going to get his next bag of heroin?
Frog has that coming, and much more. The guy should be arrested on charges of harrassment. For the past 3 years everyday like clock-work he asks me if I have ever seen the funniest joke books in the world. To this day the answer is still, “No Frog because your comics suck.”
The guy just doesnt quit, and its time he hung it up.
They never posted my feedback to the first angry letter about that. The entire contents of which were:
“Frankly, Katie, Frog has it coming”
