Fascinating little situation going over here in PC world about Jimmy Carr.
For those who have seen his Dark Material Netflix special, one of his jokes has really kicked off the warriors. Politicians are kind of fucked either way on this though, as whatever they say when questioned, they are either against free speech or pro racism against Travellers. Here is the joke:
So it's in the first 30 seconds. And that's what's gone viral. The context added in the following 90 seconds of course nobody has heard ...
FWIW, I laughed my arse off when I heard it and realised immediately it made me a bad person. But it's a joke. Carr is right though, it was educational, I never knew that before then, I do now.
Still think Boyls is far worse when it comes to crossing PC lines myself. However, he does hold Owen Jones political views though, so it seems to make it ok ...
Thanks for that... I'd seen all the headlines, but couldn't be arsed researching what it was all about.
And yeah, it was exactly as expected...- Funny
- Only offensive to people who have decided it should be
- And actually, in the wider context - contra-racist, or rather - contra... something. Fuck knows, I'm pissed - but raising awareness of the non-Jew portion of the Holocaust, which people seem to need to be reminded about.
Or something.

@tim I sometimes wonder what weird upbringing the Arquette's had to all be so mentally unstable.
Watching twitter blow up yesterday over that NPR article was amusing but also affirmed for me that broadcasters shouldn't get public money.
-
@antipodean Yeah, NPR is smarmy garbage for people who want to think they are smart.

i don't know what you are talking about, and i don't think i want to know

Such a perfect tweet that, including her having a white peace sign emoji in her handle. Top tier tweeting. Tweets like that are why I have a Twitter account.

the wowsers really can fuck entirely off
Ash Barty won the Aus Open. Ash Barty is a genuine as hell nice chick. Ash Barty had a beer when she was being interviewed.
A complete nobody said this was disgraceful as it just glorified alcohol. Thankfully no one cared
Then someone fucking complained to the Alcohol Advertising Standards joint that it was a paid segment! And, it painted a bad picture for kids looking up to Barty
Are people for fucking real? It's a beer. After sport. A world wide fucking thing. If you are worried your 8 year old is going to watch that and immediately demolish 12 beers and write the car off then perhaps you need to look at your own parenting.
Fuck i hate people. And i hate the internet. -

Fuck i hate people. And i hate the internet.If you think that’s bad kiwi Olympian Zoe Sadowski-Synotts Dad SWORE on the radio when he was being interviewed. Yep that’s right, in his pride and excitement he indulged in a bit of sailor talk on the wireless.
Not sure if anyone’s complained, perhaps they were too busy being outraged about the chronic alcoholism across the ditch ?

Fuck i hate people. And i hate the internet.What. The. Fuck. A beer after sports is about as Australian as it gets. These people need to give themselves a face slap with the nearest thong they can find (the foot kind)

Fuck i hate people. And i hate the internet.Some bloke described as "former Australian Idol host James Mathison" claimed Channel 9 was “glorifying and glamorising alcohol", which he claimed was a bad thing?! Some other donkey ran off to an aggrieved victims complaints watchdog department, which wisely told him to sorf off (and not come back until they did their homework properly):
The Australian Open is sponsored by:
-
a "major partner";
-
three "associate partners", including Luzhou Laojiao (Luzhou Old Cellar) with a Chinese liquor distilled from fermented sorghum. It's clear, like vodka.
-
twenty six "partners", including Canadian Club, Gordons Gin, Grainshaker Australian vodka, Peroni Italian beer, Pure Blond Cider and Treasury Wine Estates.
These palookas would lapse into a coma if they were about when George W Bush and John Newcombe got on the turps together (in their 30s) in 1976 at Bush' Maine local, and were pulled up for drink-driving; or a year later when Dougie and Gus Gilmour came off the paddock at stumps in Christchurch and headed for the boozer.
They were out all night, were half pithed still when they went out for the first session next day, and put on 217 runs for the seventh wicket - Gus scoring his only ever century and K. D. a lazy 250.
