"An Aspie walks into a bar..............." would have done just fine for a joke. But nope, they had to go straight for the throat.

The use of the word "Nazi" in relation to Dr Asperger was rather tasteless, and due to the obvious lack of punchline, I missed my cue to laugh

That's what got me. Never make an accusation that anyone was a Nazi.

I agree that that if this was a joke and not a terrible lie, it shouldn't be lacking a punchline.

It's still stupid nonetheless.

But hey, our complaining got the account closed

*small victory*

That was actually stupid, and I am not at all offended.

Let them be ignorant, but at least if they have a message make a halfway decent vid, even if he means to bash the hell outa us, whatever, his ignorant opinion angers me not, but he took little time to make a real movie, so what does that tell ya about the guy on top of his message?

It might be because he was impersonating a doctor [a criminal offense] and someone [guess who], reported him to the police.

I lol'ed. Those are funny clips.

Remember? People with Asperger Syndrome lack sense of humor.

First Asperger's doesn't exist then several other lies that proclaim we are evil. At least get your lies straight. Even Bill O'Reilly does.

Given that a lot of anti-vaccine nuts tend to be religious survivalist-libertarian types (you know, the crazies in places like Idaho that stockpile guns, ammo, and food in a house in the middle of nowhere) going around saying vaccinations and autism is a conspiracy by the Illuminati to crate a race of emotionless supermen is sure to get those types rilled up... :lol:

There, hopefully people will understand what I had just said.

It was a very BAD joke. That stunt has a great potential of misleading people. I especially don't want religious people to think we don't have "souls."

or maybe because someone [guess who] doesn't want it up there when its not eligible for the Most Viewed anymore.

FYI: You're a bunch of wackjobs. The world isn't out to get you; you were trolled and it worked. Get over yourselves, you're not a "fight" to be picked because all you can do is lame-ass stuff like "slam the ratings" and try to get the account removed because you didn't agree with what was being said.

Grow up.

OK "DicStrange" instead of "DocStrange".
OK that's at least a chuckle (it's funnier if it was a typo).

It is still there, but you're account aint.

It said closed, but never said why.

Because you did that it seems that your running with your tail between you legs.

Maybe this reaction is exactly what he wanted. I mean at one time, the second video was getting more views per hour than the new R.E.M. video (the official official one [which isn't very good], not the official unofficial ones for the contest they're doing [which are]) which is actually a semi-accomplishment. But instead of hoaxing, how about informing about AS, admittedly it'd be as boring as C-SPAN2, but hey, at least you wouldn't be lying.

We who live on the Spectrum are more affected by this, perhaps like those Scientologists who have been targeted by Anonymous, though quite honestly I care little about a cult, whose members can opt in or out.

My bolding.
You do realize Scienos are BIG proponents of the "Autism doesn't exist" theory, don't you?
They're also really buddy-buddy with the Clinton clan, who tried and failed to pressure Germany into recognizing the cult as a religion. If we should be on anyone's side, it should be Anon. I know on the 15th i'll be taking to the streets in my Guy Fawkes mask.

Anger, not anonymous topic

To: That_Other_Guy

I was advocating for the devil L. Ron. I certainly do not react like scientologists,therefore I would not bash the puerile NTs who did this. I think, though, that for them to have the privilege of posting on this site is tasteless. They lack sensitivity for those living on the Autism Spectrum. Their posts and ideas hencforth will lack credibility and even if they hang around they will be ignored and eventually drop off the tree, like dead leaves.

I abhor Kults and the kooks that propogate them, FYI. You did not read my words carefully.

I used those "cruise missles" as examples of people who can opt out, rather than we, who live on the Autism Spectrum, who are made this way, like Gays, African Americans, most women, and other visible minorities who are born this way and are proud and sensitive.

Sincerely,

Sartresue

Andrew Northall, "Steve Rawx" et al. For an encore why don't you do it again? This time targeting skinheads, gays, jews, and blacks. Make sure your home address and phone number is available publicly again. Come on boys! Do your thing!

BTW, In your defense, you say first, it was a joke; secondly, you were trolling? That's your DEFENSE? So, for a laugh you went out of your way to provoke, annoy, upset and insult Autistics? Who needs to spend less time on the net and sit down and have a nice cup of tea? Sick Puppies. btw, you reckon you're one of us and that gives you licence? Bone-fides if you don't mind...

Well done! There's no faster road to humility than realizing that you're much better than those high and mighty folks.

If the makers of the video are pleased that people were misled and offended, then they're not just trying to be humorous--they're doing it at the expense of others. I have no admiration or respect for that, lulz or no lulz.

I'm assuming you hate Mel Brooks' movies?

How many jokes out there are not against the expense of others? Do you intend for me to watch Christian comedy? Please, don't.

There is lulz in insulting, in laughing at what shouldn't be laughed at. It is always a matter of how much you can take. This attempt by the creators of said websites was done without malicious intent. Who here is truthfully hurt by it? I hope you get help for the pain you received.

My View: I laugh because I am alive, because I can see the world for what it is.

I didn't say that I was offended. I said I look down on these guys' actions. They trolled on youtube, then they came here to troll some more with the express purpose of getting people riled up. The intent was malicious. Check out the latest post from SteveRawx. They lied along the way and they think it's hilarious that anybody believed them. That's not talent. I laughed when I saw the video, too--but not with the makers. Comparing these guys to Mel Brooks is an insult to Mr. Brooks.

"It is always a matter of how much you can take" implies that those who engage in or appreciate stunts like these are somehow braver or stronger than those who do not. Judging by the quality of the output we've seen from these fellows, that's a real laugh.

This guy pretty much sums it up at the end of his vid:
