I hate to do it because I will probably get crap feedback
but I don't think thats funny at all.


So not funny that I actually had to type this.

he's not really being racist
(I hope!). It's very, um, black humour.
( drunkenoaf, Thu 11 May 2006, 22:02, archived)

I know, I wasn't saying it was racist
just that that in my eyes (and it might be just me) it is questionable humour and you have to go some way to see the funny side.

No offence or owt, just, er, you know.

yeah
certain lines kind of shouldn't be crossed.

You can get away with having a go at people like Huntley, but not the victims, unless it is worded very, very well.

And that is comedy genius, like Chris Morris for instance.

.
maybe so, but his own mother has totally exploited the murder. whenever the word racist comes up in the news, there's her selling her story all over again to the papers.

even wrote a book about how schools were failing black people (even though black and white people go to the same schools)

she is raking in a lot of cash from her son's death. a lot indeed.

damn straight

well....
it is taking the piss out of banner ads ,not stephen lawrence.
its funny because it apes the absurdity of some banner ads.
this kind of stuff
is borderline though,and could be construed as offensive.
i always make sure my offensive stuff cant be mistaken for anything else!

ooooh its a perilous path we tread in the pursuit of chuckles.

"open your mind to the hummus"

( mr spoons, Thu 11 May 2006, 22:10, archived)

in fairness i'm a bit racist
don't have a problem with black people, but my day is filled with racist jokes and stuff.

then again, i'll take the piss out of my best mates, doesn't mean i don't like them.
( oncedaily, Thu 11 May 2006, 22:05, archived)

there's a difference
between taking the piss out of someone in humour, no matter what the colour of their skin and racism.

If there is venom in jest then it probably isn't a joke. And thats what you need to watch.

But I'm nobody to tell anyone what to do or think so ignore me :)
( HappyToast sorted on, Thu 11 May 2006, 22:09, archived)

yeah i aggree
but i feel that people over exaggerate how bad telling racist jokes is.

to be honest, at my college i'm subjected to more racism from blacks than a lot of so called white 'racists' carry out on black people.

i feel like i'm getting a worse deal than black people atm. they get lots of benefits, one being that quite a few universities are offering grants to ethnic applicants, no matter what their family income.

my parents wont be paying me through university, but these silly grants mean that a rich black kid pays less for uni than i do.

no-one seems to call that racism

I`d have to side with you on this one
it`s funny but not .. if that makes sense

all you can do is laugh at the state of this country, because if you don`t, you`ll cry

edit: just watching the news, with them harping on about the London bombs last year

"it`s thought he may have bought the battery to.."
"it`s possible the bombers met..."
"it`s been assessed that possibly"

when`s somebody going to state some *FACT*s?
( Reckless_Rik, Thu 11 May 2006, 22:05, archived)

yeah
sums it up pretty much
( HappyToast sorted on, Thu 11 May 2006, 22:05, archived)

oops.. slipped a wee rant in there too.. bad habit


"if they`d put these people under surveillance, 7th of July might never have happened"

well that`s a fucking good reason to put us all under the kosh

otherwise you get all angry inside

meh i`m just an angry young man

who likes to get it out
in public

And is that wrong?
( HappyToast sorted on, Thu 11 May 2006, 22:13, archived)

exactly
plugging it through the hole in the cubicle in the hope of some glory hole action
