If you're going to satirise a gun massacre, gun culture or the media's attitude to the incident are areas that could work. Just saying 'a phone is more annoying than being shot dead' is targeting the wrong subject. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=45740#post-131747 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 20:20:46 +0000 Textbook 131747@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Confuzzled: Feel free to re-submit or edit with a "tip of the hat to Textbook etc" </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=45740#post-131716 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 15:04:56 +0000 Oxbridge 131716@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Holey cinema queue Batman!</p> <p>Sorry, sorry.... </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=45740#post-131657 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 08:12:27 +0000 Cliveyb 131657@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I was going to see the new Batman folm this week but my ammunition didnt turn up on time.

When med school drop out John Micheal left his phone on, what was a typical trip to the cinema for many turned into tragedy, as the Micheal's ring tone reach the ear drums of 71 men, women and children. 12 say there cinema going experience was completely ruined. Many say this is the worst thing to happen during a screening of the <em>Dark Knight Rises</em>. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=45113&page=3#post-129488 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 18:03:48 +0000 Al OPecia 129488@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Yep, clumsy, dvo, I didn't like it much, but I'm not pointing any fingers - oh except for what follows:</p> <p>Never picked for someone's football team in the park Junket? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=45113&page=3#post-129483 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 17:40:20 +0000 SpankyMonkey 129483@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>To be accurate, that should be Reductio ad Pedophilium.

Here I go, jumping on.</p> <p>I thought the original joke was rubbish and unfunny, but then I think a lot of the stuff posted hereabouts is rubbish and unfunny. I do have to bite my finger sometimes to stop it typing things that might ripple the Zen-like peace and serenity of the subs board. Of course everything I sub is brilliant and the height of comic genius. Goes without saying. Usually. (Bastards!).</p> <p>However, I've noticed during the past 4 or 5 years that over-reacting and bandying abuse about are not among the best ways to win friends and influence people on this site. Neither is taking the bait and responding in kind (you know who you are). People do take their comedy rather seriously. Decent flounce though Junket, one of the better ones.</p> <p>Right, time to jump off the bandwagon again. Here we go...Wheeeeeeee! </p>
