Today some jerk said to me, "Unnghh, the world is so PC now. You can't make fun of ANYBODY." To which I replied, "We can still make fun of anus-faces like YOU." Jokes have offended people (and sometimes rightly so) since the dawn of time—you're just hearing about it now because the world has a bullhorn (called the internet), which will loudly notify you when you're an anus-faced pee-hole. Here's a general rule of thumb for making fun of people: Choose someone of your rank in society or higher. Say you're a handsome, straight frat boy. Can you make fun of the pope? YES, YOU CAN. Can you make fun of Donald Trump? YES, YOU CAN. Can you make fun of an overweight, poor person who's gay? NO, YOU CAN'T—and unless you enjoy making simpering apologies to millions of people on the internet, you might want to shut the fuck up.

That being said, it's completely, absolutely fine to make fun of the British. Why? Because they're roughly on the same social footing as America. (Yes, we have a lot more nuclear weapons, but they have One Direction. So it equals out.) Also, they're kind of being anus-faced, pee-hole stink-poops right now.

As we can all agree, the BBC series Sherlock is one of the greatest shows of the modern age. Unfortunately it is British—which means it's extremely frustrating on three levels:

(1) British series (like Sherlock, which only has three episodes a season!!) are either tooooo long or waaaaay too short. For example, the British version of The Office was 14 episodes... TOTAL. (What??) Meanwhile the excruciatingly boring Doctor Who has been on the air since 1963. (That's five years BEFORE my grandmother dropped her first hit of LSD. WTF??)

(2) Sherlock stars Benedict Cumberbund... Cinderstun... Cumquatsnatch... NOBODY CAN SPELL YOUR NAME, IDIOT.

(3) The Brits are Sherlock hoarders! The BBC already debuted season three of Sherlock on January 1 of this year... and yet? We've been forced to sit around with our thumbs up our pucker-holes until this Sunday, January 19! (Look for it on PBS at 10 pm, immediately following those pucker-holes on Downton Abbey.) Why did they wait so long to share? Because they are EVIL!

See, the Brits are still furious about the whole Revolutionary War/dumping their tea in the harbor thing. (They really like tea.) That's why they held back Sherlock—so they could gee-and-gaw about it on blogs and Twitter for 2.5 weeks (which is, like, 57 years in internet time), dropping endless spoilers and lisping, "Cor blimey, luv... wotevah will the poor Americans doooo?"

OR! OR! Perhaps even more evilly, they expected us to lose our patience, and illegally download Sherlock season three on one of those pirate sites (please tell me you didn't) and then have us all arrested and imprisoned! Then their mouths—full of deformed, broken yellow teeth—would curl into a sadistic smirk as they say, "Spit-spot, guv'nah. That'll collywobble your John Thomas! Tuppence for the birds!"

(Note: I can make fun of their teeth because the inside of my mouth looks like a graveyard for decade-old candy corn.)
