black humor

so, on the topic of black now (as in "black market") here's some fine examples of black humor. Tasteless? Maybe... Funny? Not just a little... Cutting criticism and commentary on today's social landscape? Definitely.

Blackpeopleloveus.com is an amazing spoof that must have been started by some grad student in sociology. Preppy white couple "Sally and Johnny" have set up a website attesting to how loved they are by their black friends--there they are drinking glasses of wine and hanging out! Scroll through the testimonials and especially the letters section to get a taste of this "black" humor. The most amazing part are letters emailed from folks who think the website is a SERIOUS attempt by a white couple to talk about their black friends. Come on. A reflection of things really heard and said in the world, perhaps, but serious? Wow.






black-market-babies.com is another funny/scary site. From the website:

"First you get the money, then you get the power, then you get the babies. Many of Black Market Babies.com's customers have questions about our sources. Where can we possibly procure healthy human children and import them cheaply into America? The answer: the Third World."

ooof.
