Boru, have you ever watched the SITCOMS M.A.S.H. or Hogan's Heros?
Both of those shows employed dark humor. I don't find this virus funny at all. I have friends I worry about every damned day. I worry about getting a call that they got it. They worry about me getting it. But none of them would object to my humor of criticizing bad policy that got us here.
I've even often joked with my best friend John, from Oklahoma about how he would conduct my wake if I died. There is a huge difference between dark humor, and being insensitive. If the humor is intended to say, "this is insane" which is what I was doing here, that is not the same as saying, " Hate anyone who disagrees with you."
I think it is fucking insane that we have a POTUS and the GOP treating Wall Street as more important than people not dying. I see DeSantis as Trump's Frank Burns. I see DeSantis as Trump's Colonel Klink.

I didn't mean you were being insensitive, I meant your attempted song parody was just awful. Most of them are - you keep jamming in extra syllables (or leaving them out) which fucks up the scansion.
It wasn't your intent that was awful, it was the way you presented it.
Big M*A*S*H fan, but I wouldn't watch 'Hogan's Heroes' if you put a gun to my head.

Hogan's Heroes is the personification of cringe itself.

Hogan's Heroes is fine if you're a young kid. As an adult it's just crap.
M*A*S*H I haven't seen in years so it's time I rewatched it.

Mash is like StarTrek. One was in space and one in war. Both can be watch casually or cerebrally.

Boru, before you go assuming. THE FOLLOWING IS IN JEST.........
LL mentioned hammers, and I couldn't resist I love this 80s short lived sitcom. And you know in any case, you can't take me seriously, I ran over my lawn mower cover.

Thanks for your never-ending efforts to tell people what you like, even when no one asked.
