http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJ2XwnNfZQc I think both of them like testing societies tolerance in hilarious ways. Sasha deserves the prize for the ultimate air sign for offending people. Every time I see this clip from Bruno, I can't stop laughing. Best part is from 1:55-2:30 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhP0tOm6yt0

As a mega air sign (sun, moon, rising, mercury, jupiter) - I think it's also got something to do with how we're not that 'good' at reading responses to our jokes, because we're not programmed to be that sensitive. We don't realise people are offended, because we don't have it in us to react that way. I'm always making biting jokes around my friends that I think are funny, and often I fail to realise when I've gone too far.Speaking of airy humour - Simon Pegg's the best out there. I think he's got an aquarius stellium with moon in gemini. His shows are fast paced, irreverent and always hits the mark! IP: Logged |

Chris Rock is an Aquarius and he regularly makes fun of black people, especially young black men. Seems to be an air sign thing, making fun of one's own ethnic group. Nia Vardalos is a Libra and she did it, too with "My Big Fat Greek Wedding."
I guess air signs are the culturally insensitive ones, lol.

The other day I was walking down the street with my Libra friend and I made a comment about how wearing a hoodie is just asking to get shot and he simultaneously laughed and looked mortified. What? Too soon?IP: Logged |

^ Haha that's cute.  This reminds me of my aqua bf, everytime we go out, he always comes up with things like that to say and I simply don't know whether I should crawl away or laugh very hard (cause it is funny) .  Maybe air signs come across offensive because they ignore the emotional aspects of things?
I often find certain situations so hilarious but that's because I look at it from a different perspective. A very distant & far away perspective, it almost seems cartoonish. A lot of things people might find offensive, I find so laughable granted as long there's some core truth in it. IP: Logged |

I don't deliberately try to offend people, however I will call them out,and maybe even tease them for being illogical. I usually offend people online since nobody likes to hear another opinion other then their own. ( I don't really see the point of discussing stuff online then) I don't give off threatening vibe in real life, so people don't even try to argue with me. I do argue with my close friends a lot. I attribute this with the aries mars.IP: Logged |

I can relate to that. It's weird. As emotional as I can get, I can approach other things without much emotion. Only certain things really offend me. Some things might seem tasteless, rude, or annoying to me, but only certain ones cross the line into really offensive.
