"Without cruelty you don't get beauty"

... Surely, in this post-modern age, (what with everybody being socially aware and everything), racist and sexist comedy should make us laugh all the more. Thing is, generally, it does. But despite their claims to the contrary, the media still brackets people as idiots who need to be told of the above. And this is why we get people like Meera Syal taking the moral high ground. An insidious reflection of a perceived public feeling.
"If you ban this game, I can *guarantee* that there will be another Holocaust... within two years." Right?

Perhaps.
If the racism or sexism is derived from genuine hatred, or misguided feelings of superiority, though, it will always be frightening to some degree.

I think Bubble's just mischievously quoting the Corpses' words right back at them alongside an apposite quote from Chris Morris. The cheeky translucent monkey.

That'll teach me half read things and try and be relevant. Bugger.

I have a feeling it's from the censored "Holocaust Board Game" bit from Brass Eye.
