This girl who is ignorant & dumber than a box of rocks will comment on my status, pics, just everything on facebook & her comments show her ignorance. Every once in awhile my twin sister & I will take her ignorant comments & run with it posting stupid stuff to her ABOUT her BUT she's too ignorant to realize the comments are directed AT her....that's the whole fun of it. Are we in the wrong for having a little fun on someone else's ignorance? What's the difference than a comedian having fun at someone else's expense, we don't see any.

The answer is very simple. How would you feel if your sister, mom, daughter etc was being treated in the way that you are treating this person. Would you like it? Would you think it's a funny joke that someone else was having a good time at the expense of your loved ones ignornace. I wouldn't appreciate anyone doing that to someone I love. I am not judging because it is not my place but you did pose the question and the answer is yes it's wrong.

I don't think it's fair to compare your "fun" at someone else's expense with a comedian. A comedian (a good one anyway) will make you look at things in a funny way. He takes ordinary things usually about himself and use himself to make us laugh.
There also is a diffrence between ignorance and stupid. Stupid knows and does anyway, ignorance means someone doesn't really know.
I think that this is about the same as making fun of a cripple because they cannot walk.
I believe even though it seems innocent, it is mean hearted and in poor taste.
Well.... you asked.

I would be offended when I learned people were making comments about me because I was ignorant about something. I kind of think it is mean.
