people who are turned off by an obvious joke like that don't deserve to read this article. it was very informative and well-written.

Contrary to how some people react to the "PC police", it is possible to be funny without being super hurtful to entire categories of people for little gain.

There are levels of humour, but I agree with GP that the quoted quip is pretty rude (the toothless gum bit) , and it isn't even that funny!

Funny how the joke is always at the expense of others (handicapped, disabled, oppressed, weak) and never self-humor, innit?
