Yeah, yeah, I know what you're thinking. "Jerk, why do you always have to be so offensive? Why can't you just be nice for once?" Well, let me tell you something - offensive jokes are not just a way to get a rise out of people. They serve a purpose.
When I make racist or sexist jokes, it's not because I actually believe those things. It's because humor is my coping mechanism. Life can be tough and sometimes the only way to deal with it is by making light of the darkness around us.
Sure, some people may get offended by my words. But guess what? That's their problem, not mine. If they can't handle a little bit of edgy humor then maybe they need to grow thicker skin.
I understand that there is a line that should never be crossed when it comes to comedy. There are topics that are off-limits and should never be joked about. But as long as we're all in on the joke and nobody is being intentionally hurtful, then where's the harm?
People these days take everything so seriously. Can't we all just laugh at ourselves once in awhile? Life would be pretty boring if we were all politically correct robots who never said anything controversial.
So next time you hear one of my offensive jokes or see me making fun of someone for no reason - remember this diary entry and cut me some slack. It's all in good fun...or at least that's what I keep telling myself.
