Funny George Bush Clip

I don't personally agree with the views expressed by the editors about George Bush in this edited clip , but it was just too well made and funny that I just had to post it .

Disclaimer: I apologize if this was a repost.

[edit]: Just a warning. This post was meant to be humorous so please don't ruin it with any stupid or insulting comments degrading Bush. There's plenty of room for that in all the other threads.

It's not particularly amusing,but it is a definitive demonstration of why you shouldn't believe everything you see on the news.

Boy, this is so sad. Politics has managed to ruin an absolutely hysterical video for you all. Regardless of if the views expressed are ignorant, it doesn't change the fact that that was so outlandish as to be extremely funny. How can you let the politics interfere with the fact that it is downright hilarious? May God have mercy on your souls.

It isn't even hilarious. It is just an awful depiction of an honorable man.

So you only find humor in items that fit your own prejudices?

It it plays to my liking, I find it funny. How can you laugh at something that A)isn't even funny, B) is ignorant, and C)the people that made it were serious.?

ummm, because

a) "Funny" is subjective
b) "Ignorant" is subjective. Nearly any joke could be considered as ignorant in some context.
c.1) How do you know if it was serious or not?
c.2) Who cares if they were serious or not? Whether or not they were serious when they made it is not an intrinsic part of the video, and so need not and should not determine whether or not it's funny.

I'm sure that you could laugh at 'bomb the French' jokes,and some of those fit all your categories.

This whole video is subjective. We all should have realized that from the beginning.

Yes, I do laugh at the French, because that takes to my liking. TO say something is funny or not is a generalization. I should have been keeping that in mind when I first saw this.
