Dr Vivian Balakrishnan on Mr Brown's sacking, Channel NewsAsia.

Dr Balakrishnan said: "If you feel there is a problem with cost of living, say so, let's collectively explore solutions. But don't in the name of humour distort or aggravate on an emotional level...

Can someone explain to me how humour that does not "distort or aggravate on an emotional level" works? Unemotional unexxagerated humour? I can only think of maybe fart jokes.

Having to be politically correct must give MPs and their writers such a headache. Somewhere there must be some poor Political Science or English graduate who has to come up with phrases such as these for a paltry salary, which explains the strange incoherence.

Humor sadly is the truth exaggerated. The elements that make things funny are often real, and making it emotion or not doesnt really matter.

But isn't it evil to play on that?...

Think you can consult your dad. I am sure he knows what type of humour is acceptable and what is not.
