Marsdinho Posted 14 March, 2012 Author Share Posted 14 March, 2012 Dear oh dear, look, this is the muppet show. I haven't said anything derogatory or taken the p1ss in anyway. Just thought they looked like each other in those photo's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearsy Posted 14 March, 2012 Share Posted 14 March, 2012 Oh was that the point! you thought they looked like each other? i usually quite like laughing at freaks and stuff but that poor little girl is just too pitiable. she makes me feel all sad in my tummy. I'm gonna ask her out when she hits 16, cheer her up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thought they looked like each other in those photo's. Look, it's not my type of humour Marsinho but I can 'appreciate' the mechanics of it, and as you said this is the Muppet Show. But have the balls to stand by your 'joke'. You picked a picture of a girl with a horrible disease because you thought the comparison to Reeves would show him in a particularly bad light. Her condition is central to making your 'joke' work. You're laughing at her condition. That's fine by me. Well fine, in that outside of law breaking I don't think humour should be coarsely censored - just ignored if it offends. I guess it takes all sorts to make a world. Even people that laugh at 14 year old children that have lived wretched lives and will likely be dead soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know nothing about him other than he plays for Saints. Also, how is her condition "central" to making the joke work. Its a visual joke based purely on what they both look like, her condition could be anything. I'm not the first person to indulge myself in such humour Not that I particularly care what you think, nor do I consider your views before posting stuff on TMS.. Word of warning, I wouldn't go looking around this, or indeed the rest of the internet as your very fragile disposition is like to result in quite a few pants being shat in.

buctootim Posted 15 March, 2012 Share Posted 15 March, 2012 (edited) Can you not see the totallylookslike.com pix are funny but yours wasnt? That they havent used pictures of a girl with a terrible disease, car crash victims or miscarried babies. Big difference.

Word of warning, I wouldn't go looking around this, or indeed the rest of the internet as your very fragile disposition is like to result in quite a few pants being shat in. No you missed my point. Sorry I didn't make it clearer. You certainly don't have to consider my views and nor should you moderate what you post on TMS - on my account or anyone else's, and you haven't offended my fragile disposition at all. The reason I posted was the purely down to post #8 on this thread. I reacted to the hypocrisy of posting a picture of a dying girl and using her looks (which are obviously a symptom of her condition) for humour and then claiming. I haven't said anything derogatory or taken the p1ss in anyway. Once again, as I think I said, I'm fine with you posting the picture - not my cup of tea - but as you've pointed out my views aren't important here. It's the hypocrisy. Now Saint_Jonny said I'd hit it. ...that's brutal. But again I can see the mechanics of the humour in there. But in a Frankie Boyle sort of way you've got to respect that he's happy to be associated with a comment like that on the public internet. He hasn't tried to hide from the controversy behind what he's written. More power to him. Consciously or unconsciously you're poking fun at the girl's condition. If she didn't have the condition, she wouldn't look that way and you wouldn't have selected her picture. This, I suspect is why some people on here asked the mods to intervene. Just to be clear, I don't think they should intervene. I think you should be able to post pictures of people with this condition. But I also think that you should man up, or perhaps realise, that to many people you're laughing at a dying 14 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintbletch Posted 15 March, 2012 Share Posted 15 March, 2012 Have you ever considered yourself to be over-analytical Bletchy? Good question scotty. I'll think about that before responding - if that's OK. don't start, we'll get a 10 page thesis on the history of analysis now. Did you know there's a 10,000 character limit to posts on here? True. I broke it responding to Deano6 on your "I'm a Dirty Bear" thread. Anyway, I'm off as I've got a new thread for the Site Suggestions forum - I'm never going to get the history of analysis into 10,000 characters.

Bearsy Posted 15 March, 2012 Share Posted 15 March, 2012 Hi bletch! I was only teasing bout the analysis thing I always find your stuff interesting. I see your long post on the dirty bear thread and i do have some further thoughts on that subject, but i can't post on there anymore cos its being watched!!!! I've got to wait a couple of weeks for the general furore to die down. I'm lying low at the mo. If anyone asks, you ain't seen me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsdinho Posted 15 March, 2012 Author Share Posted 15 March, 2012 Why you refer to her as "dying", is it in the same sense that we are all dying, as I cant see any mention of her imminent death.... I guess maybe its me that needs to explain myself more clearly, the original joke was a simple visual joke based on the fact that those 2 people look similar in those photo's. I didn't write anything nasty or sick. Just pointing out an observation I had earlier in the day. So let me get this right, you are more outraged at my hypocrisy on an internet forum, than you are of me taking the p1ss out of a little girl thats going to die in the next hour or so....that's just sick. Also, It cracks me up when I see people get all hot under the collar and self appoint themselves as some sort of moral compass....on and internet forum !!!

saintbletch Posted 16 March, 2012 Share Posted 16 March, 2012 Have you ever considered yourself to be over-analytical Bletchy? scotty, I've had a good think about it now and the answer is yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintbletch Posted 16 March, 2012 Share Posted 16 March, 2012 Marsdinho, I can barely type though my outrage and hot-under-the-collarness but let's see how I go. I knew I shouldn't have posted in TMS. I feel like someone who has burst into a room full of psychopaths (no offence TMSers) holding a gun, only for the psychopaths to realise the gun isn't loaded. Anyway, one more try. Why you refer to her as "dying", is it in the same sense that we are all dying, as I cant see any mention of her imminent death.... Yes, you're probably right. That was a little emotive. I guess I was holding up a mirror for you but you chose not to look at it. She's one year past the average life expectancy of sufferers of this disease. I read into that that she is living on borrowed time. I guess that was the point I was badly trying to make. I guess maybe its me that needs to explain myself more clearly, the original joke was a simple visual joke based on the fact that those 2 people look similar in those photo's. I didn't write anything nasty or sick. Just pointing out an observation I had earlier in the day. How polite, but no, I guess it's me that needs to explain myself more clearly. The simple visual joke only works because she has this disease. If you'd posted a picture of someone with liver cancer who, as a result, was jaundiced. And you had compared her to the orange-skinned David Dickinson I'd see that in a similar light - mechanically 'funny' but at the expense of a disease. Again, I'd still have no problem with that if that's what melts your butter. So let me get this right, you are more outraged at my hypocrisy on an internet forum, than you are of me taking the p1ss out of a little girl thats going to die in the next hour or so....that's just sick. Oh, I see what you did there. Very good. So let's see if I can play that word game too - if I could just overcome this outrage first. OK, here goes. So let me get this right. By posting the statement/question above, you're admitting that you were taking the p1ss out of a girl with a terrible disease. Well, I think I just about pulled that off and in doing so put myself back in the playground. But I'm not sure it adds anything to the debate Marsdinho. Also, It cracks me up when I see people get all hot under the collar and self appoint themselves as some sort of moral compass....on and internet forum !!! Again, I believe passionately that you should have the right to make jokes at the expense of 14 year old children who are one year past the average life expectancy of the horrible disease they suffer from. Just have the balls to admit/realise that this is what you're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
