I've seen vids of people sleeping in different bedrooms that had 70 million views because everybody has clocked Pornhub. There's a new upload tonight of a granny waving in her garden whilst eating a banana. It doesn't land until 10pm but there are currently 230 million users online waiting for a bit of new.

If it's wrong to take the mick out of Iranian names, because offence, and it's wrong to take the mick out of welsh people's language because it might offend welsh folk... and if it's wrong to take the mick out of..this religion...or that background.... then eventually no one can take the mick out of anyone without fear of offence. I mean, they say "punch down, not up" but money doesn't prevent rich people with mental struggles from being hurt by people taking the mick from feeling low self esteem or vicitimised because they're posh... So no humour any more. I mean I don't like Fawlty Towers or Little Britain and never have, nor Ricky Gervais' sitcom things...but if everything is deemed offensive to someone or other then we've maybe gone a bit too far? Surely where intent isn't to be harmful or hurtful, where intent isn't to "put down and offend" there's got to be room for people accepting of particular traits of a language, or of a set of habits, or of everyday stuff being gently laughed at by those who find it funny? "The English and them saying sorry, through their terrible dentistry, when you bump into them in a queue, and boy do they love a queue..." I’ve looked it up since. He said there are worse things than being Welsh, but not many. Then went on to compound it by comparing it, as I remembered, as a dyslexic with a stutter. All of that was ‘acceptable’. Having a go back, not acceptable. It’s very very minor compared with BLM, but for me, totally unfair. The guy was being a prick, regardless of his ethnicity. He made a mistake and didn’t have the mental agility to get out of it. Let’s see what happens if he does a show in Wales and people start heckling that his name is a weird jumble of stuttering dyslexic letters. Personally, if I was going to make jokes about english teeth, I’d expect equally crap ‘bantz’ about Welsh eyebrows in return. I think that’s a kind of rule? Not giving it out and then being a pissy pants bitch if people don’t like it. I’ll drop this now because it was only ever an aside. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
