We did laugh at the crude jokes, but also realized that they were not meant for young people. Good for you for speaking up. It seemed pretty obvious that she was asked to tone it down, which she didn't do. Well, I don't know. When I heard some of the jokes at the banquet, I thought "Here we go again." The same complaints were heard following some of the previous Conventions, and I know that in at least one case the MC was hurt by the criticisim. Yes, there are children in the audience. However, it is primarily an adult function. And the young folks in the audience hear a lot worse every day at school, from their peers! So, were a few of the jokes a little "blue" for an audience with children? Maybe so, but not enough IMO for folks to get their knickers in a twist about it. Just my two cents. -- Joe Long jlong@xxxxxxxx http://www.rnbw.com ============================================================ One of the great joys of being a pompous idiot is that you can do and think whatever you want. ~ Homer Safferwiffle ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
