HolyPaddler2: So I received a spam mail from gog. Unfortunately, such a thing is quite common nowadays. However, the gog spam was particularly useless. I quote the whole mail:

"?? no idea what to put here ??"

Jokes, the really good ones twist truth. There is a reason most comedians are extremely clever.

I was going to point out that some Countries whose governments use their national identity to suppress aspects of peoples lives, such as the communist party in China, tend to have a lot more public holidays as a form of propaganda and social control.

Well, they also need a clever audience who can get their jokes.

Of course, that's the unfunny way of saying "I bet China wins with 0"

Hm, more holidays, more oppressive regime?
Less holidays, less oppresive regime?
Hm, which country has the lessest number of holidays?

It only takes a clever audience to get a clever joke.

If an attempt at humor falls flat, it's usually best to take the hit and move on. Insulting your "audience" and arguing that it is funny! no, really! isn't going to help.

I am not a comedian, so I don't have an "audience" to please.
I was just talking to the guy who replied to me in an unfriendly way.
