If you have any cancer or heart attack dance mixes, that would be great too. :sarcasm:

7. A lot of people miss the point |
|
of black humor.
FWIW, I think it's funny. :D
And I don't think it's making fun of Dia - BEE-Tus the disease at all, so much as just Wilfred's pronunciation.

11. Oh I see, it's black humor...except when your day consists of.... |
|
4 finger pricks
6 needles in the stomach
23 pills in the morning
7 pills at night
I don't want to be reminded of that when I come here, and the OP was in poor taste, period. There are plenty of people in here with diabetes, cancer, and heart conditions, what have you. These diseases can make your life so miserable that you tend to get a little sensitive about the misery you have to face on a daily basis.
Some asshole posted a joke about crib death in here the other day. Was that just black humor too?
Some people in here have no empathy to the plight of others, or to their fellow DUer's.
God knows I have a sick sense of humor, but I try not to remind someone of something bad that may be going on in their life.

19. There are people here with diabetes and a sense of humor. |
|
:hi:
The video hardly mocks diabetes. It has some light hearted fun with a silly commercial.

Are you diabetic?
Also, what you say is true. In fact, most of us have a sense of humor. It is the diabetics that are having a really rough time in general, or a really bad day that I worry about.

10. it's not about being too PC |
|
or not understanding black humor, but that shit is just plain stupid.
What is funny about being diabetic? I'd like to know.
I watched to see if, as a diabetic, I'd laugh but personally I think it's just some dumbass trying to be funny.
I hope no one flames me or tells me to lighten up b/c I can take a joke but when something dominates your life like this disease has it's just a little hard to get temporary relief in a lame tecno video. Just my 2 cents

Wilford Brimley extremely unintentionally funny.
He could be doing a commercial about poison ivy, it would be funny.

15. People, it's not making fun of diabetes, but rather these annoying ass commercials. |

I get that a diabetic who is struggling to stay alive is not going to stop to analyze "why" this shitty video is or is not funny.
The OP was fucking insensitive.
Imagine him repeating the word "cancer" over and over again in a dance mix....or "lupus".
I mean, what the fuck....people who are sick don't want to hear that kind of garbage. It's not even funny anyway. So what, he mispronounces diabetes. Big. Fucking. Deal.
