humor is a very subjective thing. I'm sure that if I posted some pictures of aborted fetuses in party hats, people would be up in arms. Somebody would find it funny, but that doesn't mean those who don't are lacking in a sense of humor. I didn't find the Kenneth Cole tweets funny just because they were trying too hard to be (did get a chuckle out of the Zsa Zsa one though). It's not that I was offended- I just didn't care. It's like a little kid drawing a giant bleeding penis and waving it everywhere to get attention.

Look, my post was directed at those that were offended. If you simply thought the jokes weren't funny (except for one; ergo you do have a sense of humor), there's no need to defend a position I didn't even attack.
Now of course this could be compared to drawing a penis to get attention, but bear in mind that the jokes that I posted are based on the actual comments by Kenneth Cole, which were in fact only made to draw attention. The twitter account I linked to simply picked up on this shameless self-promotion in a humorous way. So I don't think your criticism applies even slightly to my post.
