Depending on the shul, this may backfire spectacularly.

Did you just discover Ken M? Enjoy! He is a national treasure.

Rediscovered - I've definitely come across him at some point in the past and forgotten about him.

One of the greatest lines I've seen recently!

Cute but extremely insensitive. OCD is a real anxiety-related disorder that can express itself in many different ways ranging from obsessive cleaning to impulse buying and hoarding to overeating and obsessively soliciting compliments over everything. To some extent, most people have items they obsess over with the difference between OCD and everyone else being only what the item is and how it affects their abilities to perform daily functions. Anxiety related items are mostly caused by the physical makeup of the brain. You wouldn't make fun of someone who limps due to a physical disability in their foot, why make fun of someone with this issue? All it does is make it more difficult to get people treated.

Yeah, but what about likes?

I don't think the line was meant to make fun of people suffering from OCD. It comes down to the question of where the line should be drawn in humor before it becomes more offensive than funny.

It was meant to be humor at their expense.

Most humor is at the expense of something or someone.

I understand. This is humor which stigmatizes a condition which already has a high bar to get treatment started.

I disagree, but this isn't the thread for it.

I am posting from my experience. From the results here it a fairly obvious that the OCD cleanliness memes are an obstacle to treatment for those in whom it affects other aspects of life.

I'm also posting from experience, but we probably are coming from different angles. I'm guessing you're involved with people who are trying to get their loved ones help. My friends are those loved ones, and they're usually the people who send me this type of humor. There is a line, but I don't think this crossed it.

Nope, I have dealt with both. Consering one of the common strategies used in CBT, I would consider those treated the most likely to be sharing such humor. That doesn't change the difficulty it creates in getting those with OCD affecting other aspects of life to get proper treatment.
