Oxymoron: Politically Correct Sense of Humor

A certain politically incorrect comedian begins getting a lot of attention, because this comedian starts sharing funny, politically incorrect opinions. This comedian begins the process of getting everyone to be aware that EVERYONE was fair game to be made fun of regardless of their "protected" class, power, fame, or money! Starting slowly, the trend began to develop. Everyone began to want to enjoy having opinions and laughing at everyone else like the politically incorrect comedian did.Everyone began to see that having politically incorrect opinions and laughing at how seriously everyone took everything, was worth more than all the money, fame, and power in the entire world. Having opinions that involved laughing at everything that was politically incorrect could make you so healthy, too! Politically incorrect comedy and having your own politically incorrect opinions could even make you enjoy your food and beverages so much that the need for drugs, sleep and even sex was reduced because people could now have QUALITY food, sleep, and sex experiences instead of QUANTITY food, sleep, and sex experiences!
In the fall of 2011, the world's pharmaceutical companies, the medical establishment and the military industrial complexes and the corporations, etc., saw the risk that this new trend had for the status quo and they all got together with their powerful lobbyists to influence politicians and so the WORLD HUMOR OPINION ADMINISTRATION (WHOA) was secretly formed. WHOA would determine strategies to use to prevent that comedian and others that were politically incorrect from remaining free to do politically incorrect humor. WHOA had a mission to prevent that comedy from influencing others. WHOA wanted to prevent people from becoming inconveniently funny and thus intractable, otherwise people might opt out of "getting with the program", they might also opt out of "getting in line," consuming, etc., and "horrors of horrors", they might even become free!
WHOA began investigating all politically incorrect comedians. WHOA learned comedians really "took off" being politically incorrect as a result of hearing about a certain teacher who was about to be fired because she had used Facebook to state an OPINION!. It became clear to these comedians when anyone could be demonized for their opinion, then there was little, if anything to lose, so the comedians started doing politically incorrect comedy.
Due to this politically incorrect comedy, it became clear to the WORLD HUMOR OPINION ADMINISTRATION that just squelching opinions was insufficient, because opinions, if they were allowed to emerge, might be a source for HUMOR. For, it was discovered, that just with an opinion, anyone's opinion, a comedian could turn the opinion around, therefore UPSETTING THE ENTIRE WORLD! So naturally, to save the world from this new CURSE, namely politically incorrect comedy, all opinions AND all comedy had to be squelched, and the HUMOR OPINION POLICE, under the direction of the 2012 WORLD HUMOR OPINION ADMINISTRATION, had to shut down ALL comedy and all opinion EVERYWHERE.
Just before midnight on December 31, 2011, suspecting what might occur coinciding with the APOCAPLYTIC Mayan 2012 date, alternative comics and the few who still had their opinions instead of their opinions having them, and those few who still had their sense of humor intact were gathered by the ghost of Groucho Marx. They were somewhere in Alabama, near (where the) Tusksaloosa; they huddled deciding their strategy to re-introduce comedy and opinion back to the world.
They decided to begin with determining that humor and owning ones opinion is relative instead of absolute, and thus can only be relatively, instead of absolutely, "owned". Similarly, they considered that even owning ones own personality is also a relative idea, because hardly anyone "has" their own personality, because most of us are illusions to ourselves, and so personality "owns" us. They determined that the idea of "owning" anything is an illusion, ("the owning illusion") and that owning anything is the funniest subject of all humor everywhere, and for all time and in all space, too!. They determined that even humor and opinion are illusions and that humor and opinion, as illusions, must be relative, and merely relatively funny! ABSOLUTE HUMOR, they determined, can exist only if and when the humor makes you laugh and cry simultaneously. They decided that is EXACTLY what the world needs, as they all proceeded to laugh and cry hysterically!
