you see there are jokes and jokes, when someone cracked a funny about the recently murdered landscape architect, it was soon shot down in flames.
Racism isn't to everyones taste, how would you feel if it were jokes about disabled children, or staffies being vicious and should be shot, or anything close to your heart? think about it |

ladies ladies handbags at dawn,plank if its racist look at it from my point of view obhama is not man enough to say no to mosque (probibly a scare story by a newspaer in 1st place!) but do you realy think if it did happen theyd not kick up such a fuss that some left wing afro-carribeen-gay and lesbian disabled mixed race homeless child brigade would pop out the wood work and campaign for the poor opressed muslims to be allowed to pray in peace,the same lot who isue death threats to cartoonists and novelists for speaking outve line its easy to call some one a racist and just keep repeating it to stiffle there views!

Dark or "innapropriate" humour (note the use of " " )of any sort is often used as a defence mechanism when things are tough and usually in a private environment. Is anyone feeling under pressure through attending a major incident and is this truly private ????? What happens though is those who dont see or understand the deeper meaning or use of such comments look for the straightforward slapstick humour and depending on their slant on life find it. They then feel the need to bring it to everyones attention in that context alone. Thats not to say any of that applies here, it may but I cant say so. Then in the public domain where comments are floating around someone comes along who takes offence. If they can explain why they find it offensive then effectively it is. The model to follow here is the racist legislation. However the caveat is we're all allegedly grown ups and is the member who feels offended (as opposed to clearly defined legislation) the authority ? Its all a balancing act. All opposing points on the seesaw and see which end wins. I would suggest one reason the revolutionaries feel hard done by is because quite rightly legislation weighs heavily against them. On this occasion they may feel the law is an ass but its an ass theyve created. This is a massive grey area which has been debated elsewhere without conclusion so we arent going to sort it here and hence laws have evolved to tell us whats what, nothing to do with Orwells 1984 or big brother watching its because its had to be settled elsewhere by other means, ie statutory instruments. To answer your question Col, if race is involved in the joke and someone clearly finds it racist and says so then for the purpose of publishing it on here..it is. Therfore its inappropriate. Publishing in the jokes section does not negate the need to play things right. If that were the case we'd have a "post what you want here because its not racist, sexist or defamatory" section and we'd all be fine. One far more important point to consider though is the reputation of the site. You lknow how an old situation led to one 4x4 group being known as bullies and thugs? well do we want to be known as the racists ????? No clear answer but I would say if you post it or read it and think ooooo....thats a bit close to the knuckle, it probably is |

Meant to say, Im in the middle. I'm really not bothered about this joke. I can see the point its making but I dont think its particularly funny. Thats why I hadnt commented so far.
Doesn't offend me but I can easily see how it would offend some. If I was guiding the mods finger I would probably delete it. Like a lot of topics nowt to do with 4x4s but most subjects that arent are of general interest. This isnt really, just look at the low proportion of site visitors who've taken the time to comment.. |

Got to be honest, that joke wouldn't be out of place on Frankie Boyles show. I have read it a dozen times and I don't think theres anything in there that would get near a court of law in a million years.
In fact I'm not actually aware of anyone ever having been prosecuted for a so-called racist joke (which this isn't, its pretty much religious as opposed to racial). Feel free to correct me of course! And how long is it that we were all laughing at Love Thy Neighbour, Bernard Manning, Jim Davidson etc... I mean if Trevor can get away with this?...... http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/a...ite-bastard.do |

No sound on my PC atm, but that bloke on her right looks downright offended, in fact he looks like he's about to sh*t himself.
