It promotes the idea that we celebrate childish vandalism. What is good about that, exactly?

Actually, it promotes the idea that we are willing to recognize humor where it lies -- note that your definition of most of it as childish is inherently subjective -- I often find the humor of the people around me 'childish'. Since they are more mature than I, I must assume that it is a problem with me rather than them.
Remember that one oft cited complaint about bureaucracy is that it is humorless.
No, I have no problem at all with humour. Or humor. As long as it is actually funny - but 99% of what's on the BJAODN pages is not. Not even remotely so.
