If Jesus had focused more on kitchen table issues and less on unpopular outcasts like lepers and prostitutes, he might have won more support from white working-class Judeans.

A while ago I asked for any thoughts on comedy in games. I am now looking for thoughts on comedy UI and UX in games. What is the funniest font? Has a menu ever made you laugh? Any interesting pieces on all this?
