		<description>Well Peter, then there would be little humour around.  Think of the shows that focus on short people, bald people, geeks, tall people, stupid people, redneck people, old people, young people, english people, non-english people.....  well, you get the drift.  If done in a tasteful way and doesnt cross the line into abuse (always tricky for a comedian) then anything is  a fair target.</description>

		<description>I enjoy the show, but I have this nagging concern about the character of Sheldon - I understand his behaviour is typical of someone with Asperger Syndrome. If so, is that a reasonable basis for humour? It&#039;s not as though people with Asperger&#039;s have any choice in the matter, so making fun of it would be as unreasonable as making fun of someone with any other characteristic they were born with. Like, say, skin colour...</description>

I wrote a one word guess at what put you into the mod queue and my post disappeared. It is the word for that card game you mentioned.

Edit: it has come back now and is in moderation.</description>
