It has been brought to my attention by my Editor that I am just not funny or at the very least, my sense of humour is somewhat selective. This unfortunate occurrence may have resulted in some of my content being taken the wrong way and could offend some of my readers (that would be difficult as I only have three!).
My view is that I cannot make everyone laugh and the intention is not to offend but at least make you giggle – I will take a slight upturn in a frown, if its going. I appreciate that my sense of humour may not be to everyone’s taste, but please take a moment to get comfortable while I climb onto my soapbox. I see no better way to search for like humoured individuals than via a Blog with a potential viewing audience of 7.7 Billion (The current world population as of May 2019 according to the most recent United Nations estimates elaborated by Worldometers)
Now statistically, there has got to be others out there with my sense of humour or have I already found them, and they are now Followers of my Blog. Just to recap I’m 1 of my 3 Followers, so if my math is correct there are two others globally with a similar outlook on life.
This situation reminds me somewhat of WALL-E, a 2008 Disney-Pixar movie, sad but it all turns out fine in the end, stereotypical Disney movie. WALL-E, in Summary, is short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-class, the last robot left on Earth. He spends his days tidying up the planet, one piece of garbage at a time. But during 700 years, WALL-E has developed a personality, and he’s more than a little lonely.
I digress, I’m on a crusade with two other like humoured individuals with a mantra of “Laughter is the best Medicine”, coincidentally Camp Quality use the phrase in associate with the charity.
Anyway, back to the topic in hand which is Editorial Censorship, how can I add a little bit of lateral thinking to this situation and at least get a giggle – by setting a context that’s how. So when a passage has been censored the following warning will be displayed, ‘Editorial Censorship’, by way of an example,
Editorial Censorship: The Ashes.
I have also changed the names to protect the innocent and it has been known for me to exaggerate slightly but I can assure you its only for comedic intent.
SO, in the words of a comedic legend, “Always look on the Bright Side of Life” – written by Eric Idle in 1991 for Monty Python’s Life of Brian.
