So you completely missed the humor aspect of the show then I see.

If you mean that I failed to see anything humorous about it, then yes.  The narration was played way too straight to feel tongue-in-cheek, and the two main characters felt every bit as compelling as a damp towel.  Hell, even Bruce Freakin' Campbell couldn't get me interested.

These folks talking about the best shows on now? Ignore them. Go rent The Wire; it's the best thing that's ever been on.

The Wire was ****ing fantastic. As was The Sopranos.

I'm hoping Spartacus: Blood and Sand gets on DVD soon.  With all of its violence, profanity, and explicit sexual content it is simply awesome.  There's no reason at all why a straight male 17+ shouldn't watch it.  The historical authenticity is just icing on the cake.

[General Battuta]

Why not straight female?

Or gay male for that matter?

Seems to be plenty on offer for all demographics.

Okay, you watch it with Rian, and tell me her reaction as she hears the "c**t" word spoken as if it were meaningless.

What's the problem there? People say 'dick' all the time.

We've watched it, she loves it.

Well I guess the primary audience of HLP is straight males and to a lesser extent gay males. So I'm going to assume for sake of conversation in order to save our friend's ass that by "Straight Males" he was referring to the thread participants rather than excluding the other demographics.

EDIT:

I guess I'm also the minority when I say that a few chicks I know yell "****!" a lot louder and a lot more frequently than I do.

[Klaustrophobia]

Or maybe it was just an expression that no one needs to get worked up over.

[Dilmah G]

That was my first thought. But I guess I'm the minority when I say most of my chick friends laugh at the same sexist jokes as my guy friends.

But yes, no sexist debate here pl0x.

[General Battuta]

I have SCIENCE and will not be denied!

[Dilmah G]

Science about sexism?

I will get on with my LIFE regardless and I will not be denied!

[General Battuta]

Indeed.

That probably has as much to do with the company you keep as anything.  And the fact you're australian

damnit there i go dragging out the subject.  i'm done, i swear.

[Dilmah G]

Well the distinction between sexes isn't there sometimes, since the girls are just as loud-mouthed and badly behaved as the dudes.

[Klaustrophobia]

that was my point.  i may be american, but i play AFL football and hang around your kind a lot

[Dilmah G]

By the way, don't go drinking fosters if you're ever given the opportunity. I don't know a single Aussie citizen who drinks the stuff.

[Klaustrophobia]

yeah i already knew that

i have had my share of Coopers though.  several times had the promise of meat pies, but those haven't ever come through
