Yes....a borg drone...no doubt having recieved a message from the borg queen, has responded to Jerry Seinfeld who spoke about the monsters Seinfeld and his friends helped create....
Seinfeld can be funny...if he submits to our demands.......
College Student to Seinfeld We re PC So Fix Your Material
San Diego State student Anthony Berteaux felt compelled to correct Seinfeld on his misconceptions about the college audience in an open letter published at Huffington Post. What he actually did was confirm Seinfeld was right:
It isn’t so much that college students are too politically correct (whatever your definition of that concept is), it’s that comedy in our progressive society today can no longer afford to be crass, or provocative for the sake of being offensive. Sexist humor and racist humor can no longer exist in comedy because these concepts are based on archaic ideals that have perpetrated injustice against minorities in the past.
Provocative humor, such as ones dealing with topics of race and gender politics, can be crass and vulgar, but underlying it must be a context that spurs social dialogue about these respective issues. There needs to be a message, a central truth behind comedy for it to work as humor.
Berteaux declares that, yes, college students are politically correct. And because they are, Seinfeld better be ready to adjust his material accordingly:
So, yes, Mr. Seinfeld, we college students are politically correct. We will call out sexism and racism if we hear it. But if you’re going to come to my college and perform in front of me, be prepared to write up a set that doesn’t just offend me, but has something to say.
