Re: Best Poker Screen Names

wtf is with the race fixation?
And junior high school-level bigotry aside, does anyone actually think the majority of these listed in this thread are actually funny? Like, "omigod he said cumdumpster lol!!11 he's exactly like Lenny Bruce, LMAO!"

A big part of the humor, and i'm not going to spell out the whole thing here, is having blatantly racist screennames on the sites that pride themselves so much in trying to be wholesome. They'll censor every 'bad' and 'offensive' word and even go as far as banning chat if you say 'f**k' too many times, but you can have a name like 'Race_WAR_kill_all_the_Neegrows' and because there are no first level obscenities it will get by undetected.
In this regard, ironically enough, it actually is very Lenny Bruce-esque in that often Lenny wasn't actually funny, he was just saying things that were taboo. There are parts to the humor as well, you're just not looking at the big picture.
