Way to have a final surprise breakdown, Carver. At a mod to boot.

Zylka, I was going to see if that was true...really, I was... but I had more apathy than care in the end.

However, the fact that we all believed it (somewhut) from ZYLKA shows how crazy it really has become.

Listen you dumb, ignorant piece of ****, someone complaining about an image rooted in racism doesn't mean they believe they are being oppressed by evil whites. It means they're offended by image rooted in racism. You're white so you like having things like SNL, Mad TV and the label in question to pay you your "phycological wage" (to quote W.E.B. DuBois) of being white and feeling superior. People have a right to speak when something offends them.

So **** you and the racist caricature you used in the above qoute to show what an ignorant dumbass you are.


Must have hit a nerve. Getting offended is a cottage industry - lots of two-bit lawyers getting free press (if they're not too smart), or free press and fees (if they're smarter) saving the world from "issues" like this crap - even if it is a bogus article, the same type of nonsense gets spouted by individuals and groups who don't have the balls, the brains, or the horsepower to tackle real discrimination issues.

If you or the rest of the hyper-PC crowd have got nothing better to do then get bent over something like an Aunt Jemima or Cream of Wheat label or Mad TV (never seen it, you'll have to fill me in), then your life must be either joyously fulfilled that you can only find such drivel to whine about, or truly pathetic that this is the magnitude of issue that catches your attention.

"People have a right to speak when something offends them" - well, I'll be, that's profound. Guess what? It's like a barroom door - it swings both ways, and some folks might just speak back. And if you don't like it....

This was actually a decent troll - no one really saw it coming, everyone reacted, and the home made article seemed legitimate. 9/10 points from me. You very rarely see a troll thread like this of such high vintage anymore.

I agree. The difficulty level wasn't that high, so the potential of the troll was limited.

Not really! I thought that it was just crazy enough to be true!!!
Quakers are good for the soul. I don't know if rubbing a Quaker on your chest will improve your heart condition though.

We're not the whiners.

Gee, I'm offended by "White men can't jump" Gee, I'm offended by "King of the Hill" Gee, I'm offended that the lead roles in movies like Dumb and Dumber are given to white males. Gee, I'm offended that psycho axe murderers in the movies are always portrayed by whites.

Blahblah****edyblah.

It's that entitlement thing. People can get offended at whatever makes their little hearts go pitty-pat, but you're not entitled to have the rest of the world give a rat's ass about your pet hypersensitivity of the moment. Come to us when you have a real issue.
