My opinion :

A : it wasn't funny
B : it's got to be bad for PR (especially in Pakistan)
C : getting killed by a unhuman killing machine has got to be a pretty terrifying way to die
D : Obama's deliver on this joke was very poor, kind of uncomfortable (probably because he shouldn't have made it in the first place)

Funny US Government drones

The joke itself wasn't particularly funny but people being offended by it is.

 

[Karalysia]

It's funny, get over it. No one cares about Pakistani's right now anyway.

 

[emzie]

Of course it was in bad taste. Which is why I found it funny.

 

[Elrohir]

It was a fairly funny joke. It's made funnier by the fact that some people are flipping out about it.

predator drone jokes are funny.

and the Jonas brothers want to do it with Sasha and Malia?

They don't anymore, I'm guessing. They heard the girls' father has no sense of humor whatsoever.

 

[Darth_Pugwash]

A little in bad taste, but it's funny and there's nothing offensive about it.

 

[bigdog5994]

i really dont get it

the Jonas brothers want to do it with all their fans? or Sasha and Malia are just super whores?

 

[Tani Coyote]

I don't see any real problem with this. I found it quite humorous.

I don't get up in arms about jokes because they're just that, jokes. I enjoy racist humor as well, so I'm not going to raise hell because he cracked a joke about Predator Drones.

Now. Let's wait for some crazy right winger to twist this into the big gub'mit Obama dictatorship targeting its citizens with drones.

[Joecoolyo]

I personally thought it was hilarious

Sometimes jokes are in bad taste, like so:

(Berlin, 1943
Free-range Jew soap)

Fortunately, like soap, a joke's taste is irrelevant.

More funny than 9 out of 10 things that get posted in the Humor & Jokes forum (Obama's joke, not the joke in the above post)

 

[Grisu]

this, absolutely

 

[Shekwan]

It was offensive and funny. The fact it was made by a politician enhances its comic value. Kudos to Obama.

There is already a thread about his speech which is still on the first page.

It was also taken out of context. It certainly didn't attract my attention when I first watched the entire video at the beginning of the thread above.

 

[holy king]

Haha! I like it, but not the smartest thing he said.
