I totally disagree with your point. Yasmine resulted in a lot of dialogue on this topic. Perhaps people learned things, perhaps people became more educated. Why can't Yasmine express her views in a witty interesting way? If you think she's wrong, why not address the substance of her point?

I'm just disgusted by the culture where something "has" to have a punchline to be a relevant topic of discussion. We can't just say, hey let's talk about this. No, someone or something has to be demonstrated to be foolish/absurd. It prempts controversy and makes everything prefomative.
