Once Again, Sense of Humor Takes a Blow

We’re getting sick of writing headlines like this one. With increasing frequency, the ability of the human race to appreciate humor is dwindling and will soon be very much like the planet Vulcan crossed with some kind of politically correct self-esteem club; emotionless. overly logical and devoid of the ability to rib or poke fun at one another.

The Postal Service has reached a settlement with Burger King over an ad that depicted a mail carrier becoming distracted by Burger King breakfast food. The Post Office didn’t take kindly to the ad and, in particular, copy with read, “With pancakes and eggs on my plate, the mail has to wait.”

The Postal Service claimed Burger King used the brand’s logo and uniform without permission and portrayed the mail carries in a less than positive light. while Burger King admits no wrong doing, it has agreed to revise the ad so that the uniform is generic and does not use the Postal Service logo.

It’s amazing comedians are still employed.
