Now that I'm done telling you why *not* to use naked people in your signature, I will discuss a MUCH healthier alternative. Comedy. There are many types of comedy because comedy is complicated thing.Some famoustypes of comedy are satire, excessive repitition, irony, giving evidence of something insane, and parody.
Satire would be best defined as a way of ridiculing humanities flaws and shortcoming. Like in The Simpsons, South Park, The Colbert Report, and The Daily Show. It is generally accompanied by sarcasm such as in The Colbert Report and sometimes in The Simpsons.Since I do *not* encourage satire (especially the sarcastic type) either and you will *not* find me using satire, I will not give you an example.
Excessive Repitition is just that: something is repeated so many times it becomes funny or ridiculous. This is another type that I will *not* use and you know the world's gone to hell when something like excessive repition appears in my articles.
Irony! Now there's some good, solid, comedy. The problem with irony is that it is often confused with coincidence. THEY ARE DIFFERENT!!!! Allow me to use an example. If for whatever reason someone like oh I don't know, Paris Hilton is about to be shot (and I know we all hope that this does *not* happen) and Britney Spears takes the bullet for her (which we also do *not* want). Now if Paris Hilton's daughter were to take a bullet for Britney Spears' daughter, it is not irony, it is a coincidence. If Paris Hilton were to die from a different bullet wound (which I consider likely *hugs sniper rifle*), it's not ironic. However, if it is Britney Spears that shoots Paris Hilton then it is irony. If, because Britney pushed Paris out of the way, Paris falls off a cliff, it is both ironic and awesome.
Proving something ridiculous is incredibly fun. However, I can't think of anything especially crazy right now, so I'll just prove something that is completely true. Our Vice-President is a murderer.
1. He owns a man-sized safe
2. He insists that war is a good thing
3. After seeing a device that causes people to perform a task on pain of death he stated "Damn I need one of those!"
4. He has a penchant for shooting old men in the face
5. Statistics show that someone is shot by Dick Cheney every 24 minutes
6. Every document that could possibly incriminate Cheney is in his private library
7. He is frequently found passed out from alcohol with blood on his face near corpses with their stomach torn open by human teeth
8. His bedroom contains over 700 human hearts and he "acquires" a new one each week
9. His biography is considered Top Secret
10. His lair cannot be found on GoogleEarth
I hope you found this informative and will post comedy and *not* naked people.
