A couple of things:
1. Isn't saying "aw, look at those poor people" as much of a judgment as saying "omg, look at what those people are wearing"?
2. Everything can be analyzed until all of the humor is sucked out of it. And if we try to find meaning, hidden depth in every single thing then the life can be sucked out of us too.
3. I think it's okay to laugh at someone else as long as that laugh doesn't turn into harsh, solidified, unmoved judgment and heartlessness.
4. I have learned that when my happy mood changes because of someone else's point of view that it has more to do with me and my insecurities than the other person.
5. Would I laugh at the People of Castro Street where different gay men and women were highlighted based upon stereotypes? Well, it would depend upon if it was funny or not. This is why South Park gets kudos from me time and time again, their shït is funny.
