Lighten up a bit. It's not that hard to find humor in this.

OK, look.
some fool kid typing Wwwwwoooooooeeeeeeeeooooooooeeewwwwwww in a box just isn't funny. There's nothing to it. It's nothing. What's that supposed to be? The "feedback" on his Marshall amp? That's just not very clever. I'm sure that's been done a million times already and it just didn't take an thought. Too easy. Not clever; just stupid.

* There's no set up (other than the simple fact that Marshall chose the word "feedback" instead of "question/comment")
* There's no punchline
* There's no one to bounce off of

It's just not good comedy. It's not funny. It just looks like something a 14 year old would come up with.

If you really think that's funny, then you need to develop a better sense of humor. Stupid isn't funny. Sorry. It's got nothing to do with Alaska...and certainly nothing to do with Sarah Palin.

BTW, what *is* that? Are you trying to resort to bashing my state and my governor because I think some silly kid on the internet isn't funny? That just makes you look like you too have the sense of humor of a 5 year old too.

I get what the kid was trying to do...I just don't get why you all think it's so funny.

I'M supposedly the one here with no sense of humor but you're the ones with an under-developed sense of humor if you think that's some work of art worthy LOL'ing about.

Sorry, boys...it's just dumb.

I laughed that someone wasted time writing a diatribe about what humor is supposed to be.

I thought the "feedback as feedback" bit was funny. It's not hilarious. I'm in no danger of rupturing anything from excessive laughter. but I did smirk a little. That's about all I get out of most people's humor.

I could use it to engage in juvenile, bad humor with, like chasing people around with it.

I thought the "feedback" was funny. It's not something I would have thought of and kinda whimsical. I've definitely seen funnier, but it made me laugh, so I like it.

Missed it

Aw, bummer.
I was gone too long from TB when this flamming occured. Now it's all cooled off--and I missed it. Oh well...maybe we'll get something fired up some other time.
