Re: Sure, for the guy you linked to, he deserves what he gets, and more.

That's not a bad assessment, but I think the author and many others are taking Cohen's style of humor way too seriously. Can we be so prideful that we can't take a joke? Cohen's routine is a kind of acid test in that regard.

Anyone can be made to look silly and I'm certainly no exception. Also, nobody with a decent foothold in the world is above being mocked... hell, I deserve it. Supposing a person like Cohen managed to pull one over on me, Mr. Innocent Nice Guy, well shame on me for being naive, but above all else I think I possess enough humility to laugh at myself for it. I suppose that a person who doesn't have that ability would probably despise Cohen's style the most.

I don't think laughing at ourselves is just important, it's necessary. We're all fairly ridiculous creatures... and anyone who doesn't think so it just itchin' for it!
