>I don't understand what is funny about it. No offense intended, but if you can't see the link between sadism and humor you're probably not looking hard enough. the psychoanalyst Edmund Bergler once said 'every time a person laughs they are expressing a guilt-ridden need to get revenge upon society'. I wouldn't go that far, and the journey to discovery is your own.. but humor/sadism/malice have been intertwined in the human psyche since as far back as anyone knows.
