"comedy...where do you draw the line?"


          

so i've been watching trio's "uncensored comedy" specials all month. in case you missed it, they've been showing stuff like amos n' andy, putney swope, the pj's, lenny bruce stand up, interviews with bernie mac, sarah silverman, etc.

i'm just wondering what, in your opinion, is off limits to joke about? death? religion? race? 911? and if so, why? are they any televsion shows, movies, comedians, etc. that you find offensive?

i hope this post doesn't sink, and i'm sure at one time or another this has already been discussed, but i'm honestly curious as to what people think.

oh, and did anyone see any of these specials? very thought-provoking.
