Yeah, I also saw the rainbow bagels in another post on Facebook.

I assume the bagels themselves are vegan, although the shop certainly is not (but they obviously do have some vegan bagel spreads on offer).

Holy Rainbow Bagels, Batman!
Watching rainbow bagels get made is unbelievably soothing for your mid-week brain.

I want that so bad!

"If people can't control their own emotions, then they have to start trying to control other people's behaviour."

Effective and compelling satire punches up, not down. Making fun of groups that are in power is good comedy. That's when offense shouldn't matter, because it's not hurting anyone. It's serving to criticize the societal structures that are actually harmful, absurd, or otherwise could use a bit of roughing up.

But punching down, making fun of the oppressed, should absolutely not be tolerated. It isn't a matter of "offense," it's a matter of doing harm to the people who are the most vulnerable. Those who speak up about it aren't doing so for the sake of some misguided "politically correct" agenda or because they're too "sensitive." They're doing so because they recognize that comedy serves to normalize abhorrent, oppressive ideas and keep them in the norm.

If someone who liked coleslaw started campaigning against a comedian because they made a joke about people who like coleslaw, then that's an entirely opinion-based, oversensitive argument wrought with nonsense. Someone being upset because a comedian made a rape joke is an entirely different story. It's not about opinion, it's not about being "PC," it's about standing up to people who feel entitled to joke about things that are out of their experience at the expense of people they have an immediately recognizable societal advantage over due to circumstances of birth.

Basically, there's a difference between types of offense, and their conflation and subsequent dismissal by privileged comedians is endlessly irritating.

IIIIIII could have gone without seeing this, but now it's a reality I must deal with for the rest of my life.

That link doesn't work for me so I tried searching on YouTube and came up with this. I'm so confused. Lol

The people of Hans Island yearn to breathe free! Free from the oppression of Canadian and Danish interlopers!

Well I have to say I am a bit upset right now. More than a bit upset, actually.

My brother was just surfing on the so-called "Inter Web" - which is not easy considering our state of telecommunications, let me tell you - and he discovered a website of people pretending to live on Hans Island!

We got excited for a second there, because there was a picture of a lovely lady in a skimpy bikini. And they said that Hans Island had brothels and booze! But after searching the entire Island very carefully - it took us over an hour - we could find no ladies, no brothels, and only one old half-empty bottle of aqvavit, which we'd lostmisplaced in a game of Hansian Airborne Bowling.

Not only did these pranksters get our hopes up with their pictures of women, but their "funny" site pretending to be from Hans Island will discourage real women from ever coming to visit!!

Help us please!! God, I am so lonely.

Please come visit, and bring your sister. It doesn't matter what she looks like.

Meanwhile, we are going ahead with our campaign to move Santa Claus to Hans Island, so please sign our new petition that we will send to the North Pole. And you can always show your support by signing the guestbook (which we have just updated - you guys are great!).

Yours in solidarity,

Hans & Hans
