While you are no longer an asshole, you are in fact now, a shithead.

18. Did someone mention Nickleback or Creed?
What, they are saying they want to see every video made by Nickleback and Creed?

Really?

I didn't know there was such a demand!

34. I still found it offensive
And found it interesting how when I used the word asshole, a threads got locked for "calling out" even when a name was not mentioned. Yet, others can use it freely...not just you.




p.s. IBTL.

47. I found posts from the past couple months offensive and they weren't locked ...
so I guess "offensive" is in the eye of the beholder.
