Anyone who posted that d****d site in their posts will be punished if the goons troll this place.

For what it's worth, I first discovered Something Awful through a link on the old "Ozy and Millie" site's Links page. (Link if you don't believe me.)

I've always thought that using profanity was a sign that you''re either too stupid to express yourself any other way, or just a complete idiot. To me, Millie isn't either of those.

But the "I'm so sorry for this" and link to Ozy and Millie at the bottom makes it all better (almost)

Besides, this sort of parody just seems too easy to me.
Yeah, characters acting as their opposites is easy to do.

I was actually referring to a more specific aspect of that idea of parody: the idea of taking a notable all ages character and have them spout curse words just for the shock value of it. I say it's too easy because anybody can draw Millie saying F*** or whatever. There's no real comic creativity in that.

I think that really depends on the context in which the swearing takes place. Sometimes swearing in art (in whatever form) can be quite appropriate and have a specific reason for being there that reflects an overall theme or message. Of course, there are certainly other instances where the use of swears are exactly as you put it.

I understand where you're coming from, but that's the entire point and what makes it so hilarious.

That's what I meant in my post. But I know everyone's sense of humour is different, some can find it funny while others don't.

Oh sure, I mean, I'm not saying you shouldn't find it funny or anything. Just explaining one person's definition of humor. Besides, sometimes the easiest road to take can even create the funniest result. Humor's a tricky genre.

I actually liked the art, he can draw quite well when he wants to.

It should also be said that I looked at the archives a little and he's parodied many famous web comics and this was the only one he apologised for and provide a direct link to.
