Rather obvious. This needs to be put on the side of their helmets.

Maybe the catcher in the logo needs to be smaller, so it is clearly targeting pedophiles and not homosexuals, but it gets the message across.

having an irreverent sense of humor doesn't make you sick, it just usually makes you a dick. I can sympathize with that. Nobody is making jokes about the act of child rape, just sticking it to PSU.

Its a coping mechanism. If you can joke about something, then it doesn't seem as awful, and you can control it. We make jokes about Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, Jeffery Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy...those guys were all more evil than Sandusky.

Everybody knows just how serious this is and is appalled that it was allowed to go on for close to 20 years before it was stopped. Making a joke doesn't change how bad we all think it was or the anger we all feel towards the guilty parties. But humans have made jokes about terrible situations forever. It's partly a defense mechanism to help deal with the horror of what happened.</p>

Are dead babies funny? No. Are dead baby jokes funny? Absolutely. Lighten up dog.

So Your take is that the Sixpackers are using humor as a coping mechanism? A coping mechanism against what? Do you honestly think anyone that posts here is having trouble coping with the situation?

You sound like a woman.

Sorry that I see a picture of doggy style sex with a "no sign" across it and I say how I feel about it. I have a son, so maybe that's why it bothers me more to think of what those children went through. I'm not acting self righteous at all. I didn't say anyone was going to hell for it or anything, I just don't agree with it. And that's the point of this message board. You didn't agree with me and I respect your opinion on my opinion, but in no way was I acting self righteous.
