A lot of comedy - in particular stand up comedy, involves quite a bit of
negative thinking. Words and thoughts that we normally would fend off
are "let loose" in the name of laughter and free speech. We are
essentially taken to very dark corners of my mind by the comedian with
the comfort that we are not responsible for it. However, karma will kick
in... karmic mental formations...
