Seeing as how the movie is titled "The Producers", I'm not even sure you've seen it.

You're not sure I've seen it? Wow, what are you sure of? Did you know that the original name of the movie was "Springtime for Hitler"? I doubt it. Also it was released internationally under that title.

Nope, I didn't. I based my statement on the combination of the mistitle and my disagreement with your assessment.

The difference in ridiculing someone and poking fun at someone is tantamont in my opinion. When you purposely set out to show someone as foolish or assinine or horrible you attack them so they or their actions appear ridiculous. It's might be funny but almost always not to the not to the one being attacked. When you "poke" fun at someone you do it because you found something they said or did funny (humorous) and you do so in a manner not to hurt or injure that person in an undue way. If you do not know the difference you should not mae jokes about your friends. Less you don't want them as friends anymore.

Can't ridicule and poking fun just as easily be in the eye of the beholder?
