Guy Harris says: "It [BLKTRAN] was not in the *least* funny..."

I must disagree, BLKTRAN was quite humorous.
Offensive, indeed, but parts were *quite* funny.  (.MO DAN., for instance).

We must avoid saying that a thing is unfunny or ugly just because it has bad
social implications.  For example, filthy smoke can be very pretty as it wafts
through the skies.  Or perhaps Guy & I just have different senses of humor.

P.S.:
   BLKTRAN should have been rotated, though.
