Dante Alighieri and his Dog Spot

I attempted to read the Divine Comedy once....... Pretty heavy stuff. Definitely not your everyday love poems. I saw that movie "7" with Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman and kevin Spacey last night. Yeah it lifted my spirits right up...... As you know the movie deals with the "seven deadly sins" from the Inferno of the Divine Comedy. I look at my life and.....

Pride - Guilty
Envy - Guilty
Wrath - Guilty
Sloth - Guilty (have you seen my room?)
Greed - Guilty
Gluttony - Along with most of my fat ass friends, Guilty
Lust - hmmmmm....... let's see.......... GUILTY!

From what I remember the whole book is Dante's trip to hell with his pal Vergil. So what is so funny about Inferno. I don't see the comedy in it at all. I don't see it being sarcastic nor Satyrical. Stupid Italian.... They lose to Korea in soccer and they do not know what is funny to save their life. Tonight I have my meeting with Al for the "Secret Project". Afterwards I think I am going to watch a light hearted comedy. Any suggestions?
