         I AM PRACTICING KICKING YOU IN THE NUTS




Is the practice of appropriating other's art for tasteless jokes 
considered acceptable? I don't think it's a concern as long as 
it isn't too hate filled. Others seem to object though. What's 
the consensus here about this type of use? Does it just come
down to how funny you think it is?

If you were in Germany during WWII Rosevelt was pronounced 
Rosenfeld to give it more of a jewish sound.  Anyone who was not
a nazi friend was a jewish suporter.

not acceptable at all, (1) thank you for reataching the credit, (2) oddly tran _usually_ leaves
credits in place, quite unlike "him"

It's completely acceptable to me.  If you don't want your art used for
other things, posting it to Usenet is probably an error of judgement.
Couple that with the fact that half the time Tran's take is more
amusing than the original ever was, and I can't help but applaud his
efforts.

Yeah, I said it once and I might as well say it again.. Chill out.. It's not
that big a deal. If you don't like them, just delete the postings without
opening them!

You won't make him go away no matter what you say and in my opinion, it just
isn't worth wasting air on getting all worked up about something as
insignificant as this. Relax, guys. :-)

  Tasteless satire is good for the soul.
