| Hi Folks. Just another one of my popular reminders Please remember that we have a large global audience here at CG and it can be easy to offend some folks by the content of some of our jokes. By the vast majority I think we are fine and its just good honest fun. However, there are times here and there where we have some jokes that could be considered offensive to certain segments of our population.
I'm not really talking about folks who just get easily offended because of what they would interpret as bad taste or bad language or ugly pictures...etc... But jokes where we call out specific ethnic groups, sexual preferences, religions, etc...
I hope everyone here would agree that we are not opposed to any type of person (aside from more folks like Bob or Rich - sorry couldn't resist ) from becoming part of our community and would welcome the different views they bring. So I am asking that we not post any kind of jokes that call out the specific groups based on their race, religion, sexual orientation, or other innocent groups I'm not thinking of right now. If these show up then myself or the admins will probably just remove them.
Thanks for your help guys! You can go back to your regular geekness now...
-Paul |

| What about Helen Keller jokes?
After all, those folks won't see them or hear them anyway.  |
