Invisible Lead Soup Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 And another thing, most idiots are TOLD what to be offended by in the first place. Harry dressing as a Nazi isn't offensive, just as it wasn't offensive when a myriad of comedians/actors/producers had featured a Nazi or two on television. There's no uproar when that happens, is there? Nope, It's just that some boneheaded Sun journalist is making your decisions for you. Bonehead.

Invisible Lead Soup Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Shitting crikey. This is absurd. You cannot "pull someone up" for offending someone else. Purely because the very nature of being offended is completely and utterly subjective. No-one can either predict or assume what may offend others.Oh, and I understand why some people were "offended". Here's a recap:(a) The Sun, in all their journalistic mastery, make all decisions for you, because you're such a gullable bonehead.(b) Like the rest of the UK, your spinal column is deteriorating into a paste-like substance until the point where you become too lazy and puny to even defend your views, retaliate, or develop your own thought patterns (see 'a').Being offended is just another way of saying "I'm a fucking pussy and I can't stand up for myself".

Mr. Tristen Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Look at it this was... only western Europe and America would actually be offended by a nazi uniform. A lot of the world don't even see world war 2 as being the 'Good allies defending themselves against the evil invading nazis' - they see it as just 2 sides, but killing, both commiting atrocities. Hitler and Churchill were just 2 leaders, not a monster and a saviour.So, if a large majority of the world don't feel the need to be offended by the nazi party, why should we? History is history - leave it there.If I turn up to fancy dress wearing my family crest (my family were Irish nobility with a castle long long ago) should someone from a rival family back then be offended?If I turn up to a fancy dress in 13th century Scotish armour should an englishman be offended?If I turn up in a Roman Catholic priests gown should the protestants in the room be offended?If I show up in a 16th century spanish sailors uniform should someone from the navy be offended?The answer is no. So why the hell should people bo offended by the uniform that a specific army wore at one stage in history? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psydoll Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 And kinda back to the topic a bit more apparently the snaps were taken by someone at the party but mostly featured Will. He went to The Sun to see if they'd be interested in buying them, they noticed the couple that feature Harry in his now infamous costume but played it cool and gave the photographer 8,000 or so for the photos.Now that The Sun owns them they've been charging people waaaay more than that for the right to use them - The Mail apparently paid 50,000 to use the photo the next day and T.V stations have to show The Sun's logo whenever they show the photo. The Sun looks set to make at least 500,000 from the photos.Puir photo-taking chump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
