Well, it's enough to make me stop reading. Thanks for the fun decade, Penny Arcade.

The religion comic and the politics comic, one day after the other, reek of shark jumping. There shouldn't even be a fucking mention of the President in PA. They managed to make it the whole eight years as apparently the only entertainment medium on Earth to abstain from the "lol Bush is a retard" low hanging fruit, and I admired that. Hell, the strip's been around long enough that they even managed to resist pushing the hot "Clinton sticks his penis in and around fat women" button.

But if they're gonna get all Doonsebury on us, I expect their readership to drop a solid 5% and the rest of you morons left behind to never realize what you've lost as you chortle at your beliefs being reinforced and high-five each other over breaking these exciting new taboos.

And yes, politics is far more of a taboo than wholesome things like giraffe-fucking and fruity cumshots in the PA universe. You monkeys will probably celebrate the November 2nd, 2012 strip, featuring Obama slicing Chris Christie in two with a pair of cardboard tubes and then painting the words "Remember to Vote" in his blood.

You should relax

My favorite part is the inability to recognize the hypocrisy in leaving because views counter to his own were being represented but chastising the hypothetical people who stay to have theirs reinforced.

Its okay when he reads only those things that reinforce his views, but not those other people.

ridiculous as his post was I've always thought this was a silly thing to say
