But when it goes viral on weibo, it makes it harder for the government to disappear a blogger without a shitstorm starting. Just check out that docu film. Really interesting. Also, China now is not like PDK, nor quite as bad as it was under Mao.

Aye, but popularity only goes so far.  Its good that they're getting better, but they got a LONNNNNNNNG way to go.  Kinda like the US does.

At some point it stops being funny and then it's just a reminder of how stupid and horrible the things that this parody is making fun of are.

No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:

Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Yeah, the less is more rule applies to jokes, too.

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

Exactly.  There is such a thing as overselling humor.

I laughed at all three, but maybe it would have worked better as three separate posters.

I don't know if these have been posted before but they're worth looking at.

Christians attending a pride parade in Chicago sometime in 2011 or 2012:




And how at least one of the participants reacted:



Signs of humanity! Huzzah!

I'd like to add "neither does being a snarky prick/offensive make you right," but then again look at the audience I'm talking to.

(And no, that's not meant to be a personal attack on you, Ultimate.)

Indeed.  Also, people thinking they're right because they're offensive/offended is one of my pet peeves (although to be fair it's human nature and neither you or I are necessarily immune).
