    That’s pretty funny, but the title makes it seem like he specifically targeted the girl.

    It looks more like he threw it as a prank for the athletes, and it just so happened to hit a young girl.

      Why is it funny? Because they do it exclusively at women’s sporting events?

      I’m really curious to hear from people who think this is funny to find out why they think that.

        Because dildos are funny and interrupting sporting events is hilarious.

        I don’t care if it’s a women’s or men’s event.

          Well, that’s the joke. They’re doing it exclusively to women athletes, so you’re saying you think that’s funny.

      No it’s pretty obvious that he wasn’t targeting the girl, we’re not saying he should be charged with various flavors of battery and sexual assault because we thought he meant it to hit her. And calling it just “a prank for the athletes” can fuck all the way off.

      I know, right? It’s just like when people bring fleshlights to throw at NBA games because it’s a totally normal and not weird thing to do.

            Humor is subjective.

            I’m sure you’d laugh at a lot of things that I’d consider childish and not funny.

          It would probably put an end to the shenanigans quicker. Society seems to respond to shit when it starts to affect men (especially, rich) too, a little more promptly.

      It doesn’t make it sound like he targeted the girl, it sounds like he was another idiot who thought he was the main character and wanted to mock women athletes.

          Then it’s not a prank. It’s Being an assshole

          Only reason people say otherwise is self appeasement or bad parents.

              No. I believe in facts. Fact is some one being an asshole, is an asshole, no matter what term you’d give them to hide under.

              So. Again. He was being an asshole, not playing a prank.

                Ok, buddy.

                There’s not a single prank that everyone will laugh at, but keep believing what you want.

                Sorry, just to drive the point further home: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Practical_joke

                No mention of laughter even being a factor. You can edit the article if you’d like to change that.

                Also, this is a really good fucking prank:

                    What’s the definition of most?

                    Here’s the definition of a prank:

                    a practical joke or mischievous act

                    A practical joke or prank is a trick played on people, generally causing the victim to experience embarrassment, perplexity, confusion, or discomfort.

                    No laughter required.

                  So your issue is parentage then.

                  And if you act cruelly to one person simply so you and perchance another bystander can laugh at them, then I’d say you’re just proving the point, and you hang out with shitty people.

                    Throwing dildos at a basketball game is not an act of cruelty, unless their intent was to injure someone.
