I didn't think it was that funny. A few parts made me giggle, but overall, not funny.

I'd download it; I don't think I'd pay money for this.

EDIT: Also, regarding the whole 9/11 thing. I think it's unfair for people to use the "Oh, well, my friend lost family members to this and he wasn't offended by this" deal. It's a really one-sided argument. I've a friend who lost an uncle to that, and she's Muslim as well. So she got hit with the double whammy of losing a family member as well as dealing with pompous ass holes of America saying it was the blame of all the Muslims and shit like that.

I, personally, didn't really get offended, but I'm still sympathetic towards 9/11, a lot of which spawns from her situation. I know there are tons of people across America still dealing with the loss. No matter how long ago that was, it's still a lingering pain, y'know?

But, shit, even beyond that, I still didn't find it that funny. Moreso obnoxious and a little too "HAHA LOOK AT ME IM SHOCK HUMURHURHUR."

It may be a lingering pain, but how long does it have to be? Really?

Americans freaked out when that tsunami hit the Philippines in 2006 and we've all but forgotten about it now. And everyone's like "Oh, well that's because it wasn't on US soil." Take any other disaster in history that happened here and see how quickly it was forgotten about. Case in point, the Oklahoma City bombing. A lot of people died in that too. Were people still talking about it in 2001 before 9/11? No, they weren't. It was a huge deal for a short period of time and then everyone just dropped it.

Why is 9/11 any different? Because more people died? That's really the only major differing factor other than that planes were used instead of a manure bomb inside a truck. There's this huge stigma about talking openly about 9/11, as if speaking about it outside of singing the glorious praises of "all the heroes and people who died that day" is suddenly going to cause the entire fucking US to explode.

You know what, people say that since we as a nation banded together right after 9/11, the terrorists didn't win. Look at our country now. Too scared to speak their minds for fear of being ostracized by the people they know, the value of our currency is slipping at an incredible rate, oil prices have gone up globally, US citizens are just as rude and spiteful as ever, and we're stuck in a war we have no idea when we're going to be out of. What happened to the America that existed on 9/12/2001? Did people really change? Or was it just a great big show put on for the rest of the world? If we can't take a step back and be a bit more normal and less paranoid and stuck up about letting things just DROP after 7 years, than I dare say that the terrorists did exactly what they set out to.
