Royal Flush
Say! That's sure is a nice hand you got there, partner.This the first set of face cards I have complete. The other suits will be slightly different; Spades - Cowboys, Diamonds - Mexicans, Clubs - Europeans/Canadians. Am I being too offensive? Am I exploiting bad stereotypes? Normally I wouldn't be too concerned about that as I am an offensive, exploitative person for the sake of humor. I often go over the line, but my boyish charm has pulled me back from any serious fisticuffs. Maybe as I grow older and more legitimate I won't, or shouldn't be able to get away with it as much. Also, for commercially viable illustration that kind of behavior isn't generally condoned. However, certain people do make loads of money from it, so screw it.

People who don't make fun of people are pussies.
Axle Rose? I like how each word was a link. I hope everyone else notices this.

Mitch Hedberg is dead.

Yeah? So are Axl Rose and Andrew Dice Clay, figuratively speaking. What's your point?
I should have linked to Trey Parker and Matt Stone as well.

Making loads of money doesn't help you when you're dead. Or does it? Matt & Trey are the best at making fun of everyone!

Of course money helps you when you're dead. How else do you think you get into heaven?
My point is that many people have become promenent in their careers even though they frequently used crude references. Or perhaps they have even hugely benefited from their exploitation of "off color" content. Whether they have since declined in prominence or not was not a concern I was refering too.

Well, I didn't realize you were being offensive with your references until you mentioned it... but, I'm kind of an ass too. But I don't think you should worry about offending anyone if you want to be recognized. In fact, maybe you should tap into that more. Exaggerate the stereotypes -- like charactures. What's the worst that can happen?
