Interesting article on the Utah Jazz and Mormons from last year.

I'm not mormon and found zero humor in that paragraph.

 

[Scat]

I know it's satire but shouldn't that mean it's at least a little bit humorous?

Who said it was suppose to be funny?? Sounds fairly serious if your talking about killing someone....

Not sure if you're serious or just playing it straight. Would definitely make this thread quite humorous if it was the former.

The Jazz don't play on Sundays.

If the season ends in the 64-18 range, and the Jazz win a title, then I think the LDS church owes it to us to "take one for the team"

Riiiight. No matter how you look at it, it's just tasteless. Anyone who even jokes about killing someone needs to have their head examined. Think about it.

 

[Qman]

I haven't read the article. But I think if the author made a similar article about killing Jews and the New Jersey Nets he would be thrown into the crazy bin.

This.

I really hope this results in a ban. Tasteless.

Second negative rep in the time I have been here.

I won't lie. I usually like The Onion's articles but that one paragraph wasn't funny at all.

Substitute "blacks" for "mormons" and see how well it goes over. I love how hate speech against one group is suddenly satire in regards to another, just because one group has political clout and the other doesn't.

I am curious. Is your frustration with the double standard, the article itself or those on the other side of the double standard who can "get away with it" because of their political clout?

I'm Mormon. I don't mind laughing at funny jokes about Mormons. This one just wasn't funny though, it was just dumb. I expect more funny from the Onion folks.

I'm Mormon.

Assumed that from your username.

Take what for the team?

All of the above!
