“You could use a sense of humor, and grow some thicker skin. After all it has been 41 years.”
Yep, and there’s a whole wealth of good holocaust jokes too! I guess as long as there’s an emoticon, it’s cool, right?
Joking about something that happened 41 years ago, making reference to it as if it were present day, is harmful to the city of Cleveland. Not everyone has been to Cleveland. Image is a fragile thing, and Cleveland’s image is already bad enough.
It’s not thin skin, it’s practicality. You small minded fool! ;) (See, I used an emoticon, so it’s really kind of clever to slam you, not mean.)
Even notice that guys joke with each other. They tease, sometimes it’s kinda personal. Real men tease back. It’s a part of the male ethos. Defensive, insecure banty roosters tend to take offense. Just sayin’.
Who are Cleveland's image-makers? I'd like to see if I could get the City of Seattle to hire them. Then at least we'd have truth in advertising.
