No, but the people who describe in graphic detail what ~they~ think the jokes meant... They're suspect.

"He watched it with me and we NEVER considered the horse joke in that context."
Never. But of course that was because you understood the joke! Amazing, isn't it?
I once made my daughter watch "Leave It To Beaver".
She had annoyed me over a long break whining about being "bored".
So we watched it, with me telling her: "This is what I used to watch".
She patted me on the head and said: "I'm sorry for you, Ma!"
Teresa couldn't have delivered it that's the point. I only caught glimpses of it but there are some blessed with the talent of timing and have the ability to touch the line without crossing it & it looks like Laura Bush is one of them.
It's not even at that level - however, because of the way Laura told the joke - first saying George tried to milk a horse ... and then adding it was a male horse, she took it to where there was a dual inferrence. Because of the way the joke was written, I think the joke writer meant the dual inferrence to be there. Your opinion may vary - but others can have the opposite opinion and it is not their fault, but the joke writer's.
If you're about, come on over here.
Interesting discussion.
I want to know what YOU think!
:-)
Funny! I've tried to get my kids to watch "The Dick VanDyke" show, but they run out of the house!
Wow, excellent post. I wish I had said that.

Because you twisted an innocent joke into something perverted.
I fully agree!
Exactly. They are holier than thou and must have pure, unstained lives to this point. :)
LOL!!
A lot of words in a feeble attempt to cover your tracks.
My employed logic annihilated your post, and you threw a tantrum to cover it up. Then you threw another tantrum to cover up your first tantrum.
Nice try.
Sorry I so thoroughly kicked your ass so early in the morning.
Friends?
Her big set piece was a brawl with a guy, in which she got thrown into a plaster wall a few times, came back, picked the guy up and bodyslammed him.
My wife, who was and still is a tomboy (did you know pantyhose can be used as a temporary, emergency fanbelt?), still had the "Oh, no! That's my daughter getting tossed around" reaction. I'm more off a chess geek, who writes poetry, but I still had the "Cool! My daughter just picked up and slammed down a guy who has to weigh at least 170 lbs."
EXACTLY. South park is only one of many forms of humor. You can have humor without vulgarity. I started college when south park hit it big, and you weren't "in" if you didnt watch. So I watched, just to see what the fuss was all about. It was mildly entertaining, and I decided that if watching it was a requirement for being "hip" I would just rather not be hip.
The problem on some of those threads was that Laura Bush was called a whore, trailer park trash, etc.....
No, we don't have to agree on all things, but to call Laura Bush these names is totally over the top, and they deserved to be called on it.
Oh puleeezzzzze....this is melodramatic to say the least.
I've been very careful about what she does see.
I glowed with pride this last Fall... she came in from playing and asked me:
" Mom? What's "Gilligan's Island?" "
I have managed to save her from THAT scourge so far!
Really? Do you think the direction that popular culture has taken is a positive one?
No, but the people who describe in graphic detail what ~they~ think the jokes meant... They're suspect.
LOL! We weren't allowed to watch "Lassie" because Timmy always disobeyed his parents!!
And I agree about Gilligan's Island. Even as kids we thought it was stupid.
