I'm curious, are people actually getting offended or upset if they read a joke with mature humour?
Not offended, I know well enough that people most often than not don't mean to offend, they are just having fun.
I liked this place because it focused on silly puns. The world needs more silliness.
Let's see how this goes.
I'm not offended by mature humour. I just liked this a resource of kid-friendly jokes. If it stops being that, there's a million other sources of adult-oriented humour.
I'm not, and my kids are grown so I can share all kinds with them. Also I'm not likely to miss any NSFK double entendres. But I think some people like a few places on the Internet that are adult-clever but safe to look at with their kids. And some might be less likely to realize the implications of a joke that might make it NSFW, either through language issues or their own innocence. Just as most English-first people today don't realize "hoist on his own petard" was another of Shakespeare's many fart jokes. So few in fact that it's now completely appropriate anywhere.
Yes, unfortunately. People can be quite strange.
