That's called, “Censor-Baiting or, Getting It Past the Radar.” Few past the age of twelve missed it.

Date: 2012-01-12 04:08 pm (UTC)…“Hilarious”? As in knee-slapping, shout-out-loud humorous? How so? In what way? It's just an appliance ad! Or are you using that word because that's the plug-in buzzword du jour?
- No, I'm not being snarky. I keep encountering that word here, used always in reference to something not remotely funny but Politically unCorrect by “Women's Studies” standards, always that word only and none other, and I suspect a fashion statement.
So if this appliance ad is stand-up-comedy funny, is “hilarious” by any normal dictionary definition, I'm sure you can explain how, and why you found it so. Yes?

Date: 2012-01-12 06:37 pm (UTC)If any other word were ever used, or if that word was used where appropriate - and some ads really are funny - that would be different. But it's always used as you just did - plugged in like a macro to belittle and simper. Always, “hilarious.” Why not say amusing? Or humorous or laughable? Perhaps because that's not approved. Thinking for yourself, deciding for yourself what to say - that's dangerous.
Er, I mean, it's hilarious!
