Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Smokers Are Scum, a gentle song
Despite the author telling us so - the song isn't funny, it's just a bitchy diatribe. Which is fair enough. But I do get tired of people making out bitching is 'satire', just because the person doing the bitching tells us it is. I like satire, satire is funny. This isn't funny and it ain't satire. It's just straightforward ordinary bitching at people doing something that pisses you off. And of course there are lots of other people that hate smokers and smoking too, so I'm sure it will find sympathy and support lots of places.

I'm a life-long non-smoker by the way and I don't enjoy cigarette smoke more than any other non-smoker - but virulent anti-smoking fascists piss me off to high heaven. I wish they'd all die, or at least just shut up and stop bloody whining. Call that satire if it sounds 'funnier' that way.
