A heavy quote from Eric Idle?

Question

Willys cynical thought for the day;

I keep getting these freaking useless emails, "Satisfy the girls with a bigger d*ck!" Hey, I wouldn't be caught dead with a girl with a d*ck, especially if it's bigger than mine!

"At least one way of measuring the freedom of any society is the amount of comedy that is permitted, and clearly a healthy society permits more satirical comment than a repressive, so that if comedy is to function in some way as a safety release then it must obviously deal with these taboo areas. This is part of the responsibility we accord our licensed jesters, that nothing be excused the searching light of comedy. If anything can survive the probe of humor it is clearly of value, and conversely all groups who claim immunity from laughter are claiming special privileges which should not be granted." -- Eric Idle

Thanks for sharing. We all enjoy a good dick joke, but that second quote has some real truth in it. I believe Mr. Idle should have got the Pulizer for his "FCC Song".
