Different versions of http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Asperger_Syndrome include http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/User ... r_Syndrome , http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/User ... /aspergers and http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/User ... s_Syndrome . Do they offend you? Do you find them funny?

In other words, Uncyclopedia is to online encyclopedias what the Onion is to newspapers.

They are supposed to be offensive... so no, I don't find them offensive because of that reason.

I'm more offended because it isn't funny.

Ah, one of the poll options doesn't seemed to of posted. Oh well.

I didn't like the 2nd one, but I do understand if they're joking.

You didn't mention the article on autism?

There is an assburger's page: http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Assb ... s_syndrome

I don't find them offensive because I know the nature of the site is to be ridiculous. But I don't find it funny, that's for sure.

Old news, of course this site is offensive, they want you to react to it, my advice is too ignore garbage like that.

It's really hard to offend me with humor.

Better than that Encyclopedia Dramatica site.

I don't care about things like this because no one takes articles on these sites seriously, do they? Who cares if these guys wanna joke around on their stupid sites? I have nothing against people having a laugh.

It's comedy, and as such cannot possibly be offensive. In order to be offended by comedy you have to be a particularly insecure and pathetic example of a human. <insert witty comment about religious extremists here>

I'm not offended by it.

I actually kind of identify with this kind of neurotically-derived informative humor, especially when you consider the POV might be of someone who thinks a symptom of "socially awkward" sounds to them like an arbitrary cop-out for a diagnosis. Maybe the lines seem a little blurred, iono.

I don't think it's funny but I also don't think it's offensive.

It is very clearly facetious. It's obvious that it's a parody and is supposed to say the opposite of the truth and not be taken seriously.
