whogivesastuff, it was just the whole not there depiction of the black women.

I'm not explaining myself very well. However my feeling are just that, how and what i feel. Not manufactured. If i sounded po-faced, it didn't mean to come across as so.

I just looked at it and thought if that was picture of my daughter, reduced to a dark, inhuman nothing how do i feel about that, upset.

I don't see racists around every corner, but i was honestly shocked at the amount of people on that site who in particular found that picture really funny.

BaublesandCuntingCarolSingers · 01/01/2012 17:31

Oh I saw this ages ago and laughed my arse off... until I got the black lady's picture. Then I just thought "Ugh."

I stick by the blonde scribble one and the one with the electric fan being funny, though.

SuePurblybilt · 01/01/2012 17:31

Oh, I initially found some of it funny (the dog and the makita drill made me snort). But it really quickly turns into a sort of nervous laughter/disgusted at self/really uncomfortable sensation. I'm a nasty enough person to have grinned at a few of them, before mentally bashing myself around the head with a stick for doing so. A few of them were really upsetting.

It crosses a line I think and if you can't see that, then that's a bit of a worry. If you think it's so brilliant and hilarious, you'll have a go yourself - then I have no words.

ivy I don't give a crap either way Xmas Smile

ivykaty44 · 01/01/2012 17:33

prunes will do the trick Wink

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 01/01/2012 17:34

I find people falling over quite funny (serious injury excluded)

especially if they are drunk, or likkle kids

I realise that is a bit shit

but not as shit as this

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 01/01/2012 17:35

ivy too much turkey, that is my problem

MrsHeffley · 01/01/2012 17:38

Sorry I think that's really nasty.

I'd be appalled if my kids did that which is how I normally judge things.

I don't think taking the piss out of how people look is funny.I really have a problem with the way all 3 black girls are blocked out.What a nasty racist guy.

PaintedToenails · 01/01/2012 17:50

According to JenniferEight:

A few more laughed initially but still think it's sick and horrible. It's called rising above your base instincts...the same reason you might find someone attractive but stop yourself having sex with them if they don't want you to.

So according to her, anyone who laughs at this is a rapist?

For the record, I did find some of them quite amusing. I'll hand myself in to the Police in the morning......

ThePathanKhansWitch · 01/01/2012 17:51

Agree MrsH, btw, my dd has very pale skin, but if we lived somewhere where darker skin was the norm, and she was whited out i'd similarly be very upset.

The whole thing has nasty undertones. Pictures of not there women. Chilling.

Yes, that's exactly what that means Hmm. How clever of you Hmm.
FFS.

JenniferEight · 01/01/2012 18:00

I agree Tethers has been outstanding on this thread.

and thanks AF Smile

AlwaysWild · 01/01/2012 18:01

Really, PaintedToenails? That's how you interpret that Hmm Do you make the same connection with me wanting to eat an entire box of chocolates but not doing so as I'm rising above my base instinct of greed in favour of health?

JenniferEight · 01/01/2012 18:02

Erm, no, PaintedToenails. How exactly did you figure that out? You've completely missed my point.

JenniferEight · 01/01/2012 18:06

I did have a boyfriend once (for a couple of weeks) and he hid his racism very well. When I realised he was a raving nutter full of hatred for black people, 'because he once knew someone nasty who was black', he was out the door immediately.

He would have LOVED this.

It's called an ANALOGY.

Ask Professor Google what an analogy is.

MrsHeffley · 01/01/2012 18:11

I think MN needs to take this thread off.Every time somebody clicks on that site it feeds the sad f*er doing the drawings and more importantly humiliates/insults and racially abuses those poor girls.

Newsflash-we're all different. Even my 7 and 8 year olds know that and have the ability to celebrate said differences.If any child was to do the same as Mr Pistonhead at school they'd quite rightly be punished for bullying.

JenniferEight · 01/01/2012 18:14

Thanks Baubles Smile

MrsHeffley I think you're right.

Spero · 01/01/2012 18:50

If you define trolling as lumpen cruelty to get a cheap laff, then yes, this is quite brilliant trolling. Sadly my sense of humour is not yet sufficiently well developed to say ooo look at the picture of the unattractive woman who wants a boyfriend! He's done a cartoon of her with stubble! Oooo! His penis must be massive and I want to ride him like the wild stallion he so obviously is!'

It's cruel and stupid. And I agree, anyone who finds it funny has an IQ which is considerably lower than average.

This is not a personal attack but a statement of fact so I will also be miffed if this is deleted.

To2012AndBeyondTheLimits · 01/01/2012 19:04

Spero well it's not really "statement of fact" is it. I laughed, and my IQ is considerably not lower than average...Hmm
Whether anyone thinks I am lacking in empathy or no better than a rapist is their opinion, and I won't argue, but it is definitely not "fact" that I, Worra or anyone else who found it funny is stupid. And how about the people who laughed at some of the pictures? Are they a little bit stupid.

By the way, to everyone being snide about the personal attack, Rhonda didn't say "I think people who find this is funny are disturbed" in the deleted post, she said to the OP "your wife is challenged". That is a personal attack, and on someone who isn't even here to defend themselves nonetheless.
I know everyone wants to think the OP is a schoolchild, but maybe he is real. Maybe he is married. Maybe his wife is mentally ill. You don't know.

To2012AndBeyondTheLimits · 01/01/2012 19:05

clearly not that clever to fuck up my italics!! Grin

giyadas · 01/01/2012 20:02

late to the thread, and I'm sure it's been linked to on MN before, but this is brilliant trolling.

The example in the op is just spiteful.

SuePurblybilt · 01/01/2012 20:03

Oh, I actually want to keep that man in a box Giyadas. I luffs him.

rhondajean · 01/01/2012 20:09

OP asked if his wife was mysoginistic. I said no, she was challenged. Reason being, she apparently asked him to post this on here to give everyone a good laugh at those women they don't know.

So.

It is okay to laugh at people you don't know based purely on appearance. But it isnt okay to say someone is challenged based upon their opinion and attitudes?

Shite. I smell shite.

I also, on reflecting, strongly suspect OP started this to cause a huge uproar and won't be feeding it any more.

tethersend · 01/01/2012 20:19

Look Rhonda; Imaginary wives have feelings too, you know.
