Doc Ascension Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Fucking hell. The scourge of political correctness strikes again (Directed at whom I wonder? Hrrm...) A tragedy none-the-less' date=' the event itself is out of the ordinary and can be interpreted as being mildly amusing. I don't necesserally find it amusing, but I can see why some might.Once again a self-appointed group of vigilantes imposing their views on others. It is a heritage of Communism.Stop whining, and grow a spine.[/quote']Amen, and thankyou: 1-0 to humour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Ascension Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 there's nothing politically correct about finding the amusement directed toward the death of a child to be sickening.I think they call it morality.If laughing about the death of a child in any circumstance is what constitutes being cool these days' date=' I'm glad I'm not.[/quote']..and the oscar goes to....

Invisible Lead Soup Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Try not to have a knee-jerk reaction to the jokes and look at the (perhaps subconscious) motives behind why one may find the instance amusing.Oh, and don't play the "morality" card with me.

Murray found it funny before leaping into your crusade? Hardly. Perhaps there's a subconscious reason as to why his reaction was so. You merely stormed in witrh your talk of "morals" and bollocks of that nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tv tanned Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Thje only subconscious reason why someone finds something so tragic to be funny is that they are emotionally vacuous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Ascension Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Explain how i'm emotionally vacuous? Those other links you posted tanned really are a useless comparison and make you look like the leader of "Mothers against the Music of Satan" or some other such bullshit moral crusade group, minus the facts.The point is, a 1/4 ton ball of snow artificially created rolled down a hill on the kid, that part is funny.The death, is indeed tragic, however, the incident is enough to incide a giggle from the method of death - ala Darwin Awards as mentioned.Stop being such a cry baby and live with it, people die everyday - often in funny ways and i'm just pointed out that this, was one of them.For the record, "12 year old killed by drink driver" is not funny. "Kid dies when hit by big fuck off snowball" is.End. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazy pixie Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 tv tanned, if you don't like people who make jokes on these topics, don't go into them.

Swingin' Ryan Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 The Evening Express headline "Boy killed by giant snowball" was a fucking awful bit of journalism, totally belittles the whole thing. It's the equivalent of describing the Tsunami as "a big wave at the beach", it makes a tragedy sound ridiculous. I don't know where they find the people that write these but they should be shot.

Guest *alex* Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 That's so horrible, tragic even.I'm petrified of snow, everyone always makes fun of me, but i went for over 12 years without seeing any, ever, and then i moved to Aberdeen and you get so much of it, it's scary, this really doesn't quash my fears..but then again, my stupid fears are nothing compared to how his family will be feeling.
