Watch out StrandedBear. If you disagree with Spero she'll call you stupid. Fact. Only her opinion counts. FACT. She also thinks she's Mr Benitez. Fact.

Hello to everyone watching via pistonheads Brew
Can you send some of your SOH over here where it's sadly lacking :)

alwaysoffended · 02/01/2012 14:14

What a horrible website, they're cruel cruel men!.
Somebody should throw a can of red bull at their faces!..

The black woman's photo appears to be the funniest to a lot of PH posters on that thread who keep reposting it.

Apparently PH moderators get all coy and upset about a bit of swearing but out and out racism is A-okay. Glad to see some PH posters think it's equally horrible over there.

alwaysoffended · 02/01/2012 14:23

@PLINY

No doubt the Mods over there are normal posters and are given just a yellow badge making them all powerful!, they should be ashamed.

Upsidedown69 · 02/01/2012 14:23

What a bunch or morons.

Obviously drunk on multiple Directorships.

Pliny · 02/01/2012 14:35

Yeah you're probably right alwayssoftended - do people volunteer to be moderators over on PH then? Or do you vote amongst yourselves?

Spero · 02/01/2012 14:56

Sigh. Op I can see the distinction between fact and opinion remains lost on you. Truth hurts eh?

Stranded bear really? They were ALL apart from the racist one pretty darn funny? ALL of them?

EmmaBemma · 02/01/2012 14:59

oh dear, we're being boarded. Mind you, if the calibre of these trolls is anything to go by, I don't think Spero's "thick twats" assessment is too wide of the mark.

Spero · 02/01/2012 15:00

Xyfactor, I love how any objections we may have to the offensive, the cruel and the stupid can be swept away by the blithe assertion that we lack a sense of humour.

I can assure you that I have a keenly developed sense of humour and find you very beguiling. Or I would if I understood you.

But sadly my bullying twat gland had to be removed in an emergency operation last summer, which may have got in the way of my ability to show a proper appreciation for the artistic skills of this particular piece of knob cheese.

pickgo · 02/01/2012 15:07

Oh I thought this was so funny. Really made me laugh.

I don't think it's mysogynistic, just taking the piss of the celeb culture that so many people perpetuate when they try and present themselves 'at their best' in a sort of glam, celeb way that they can't pull off - bit like a Beryl Cook, affectionate not cruel.

I wouldn't be offended if it were me.

Spero · 02/01/2012 15:18

We will have to agree to disagree pick go, assuming you are a real person and not one of the op's imaginary wives or sundry other sock puppets.

I am not a pearl clutcher but I couldn't see anything remotely 'affectionate' in most of those drawings. Particularly not in the context of a dating website.

I'm bored. Maybe I will pop down to Asda and film myself kicking the crutches away from cripples. That should be enough to make me some kind of GOD to these people who find it all most hilaire.

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 02/01/2012 15:32

spero, lovin' your work Xmas Grin

FACT

and I know it to be so, 'cos I'm here innit

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 02/01/2012 15:34

I think tipping up wheelchairs would be good too

oh yeah, and racially abusing someone to their face

that'd be worth filming, because it's quite likely you'd get your fucking head kicked in

but there, maybe stay at home it's much safer to do it from behind the anonymity of a pc screen

no-one gets hurt that way, no sirree

I dispute that stranded bear.
The kind of soh that laughs at others is wrong.
It's nothing to do with bravely claiming one's own 'different' soh. Its a shitey thing to do. That makes most of us on the thread right, and you and a few others wrong.

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 02/01/2012 15:45

I think it's wrong to take the piss out of people's appearance, publically, when they have not invited it in any way

it's cruel

nothing at all to do with SOH, or lack of it

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 02/01/2012 15:47

those women posted their pics on good faith, for a particular reason

now they are being laughed at and cruelly mocked, for a totally different reason (because a few twats think it hilarious)

have you read the whole thread over there, SB ?

there are some quite creepy sexually-threatening followups to the original just-a-bit-silly scribbles

KitchenandJumble · 02/01/2012 15:57

Horrible and cruel. And quite appallingly racist.

yes, it's your own SOH

hold on tight to that

MustControlFistOfDeath · 02/01/2012 16:09

SinicalSanta the kind of soh that laughs at others is widely broadcast on tv - have I got news for you, 8 out of 10 cats, spitting image (I am old) etc

However, these people are not in the public eye, so a public piss take is unfair. But as SB says the internet is a public domain and is therefore any photos/personal information/whatever posted are available to be abused. I'm not saying that's fair and right, that's just how it is.

I laughed at some of the drawings, I thought some of them were rubbish, I didn't like the racist ones - according to this thread I am now a racist with a low IQ who would apparently get a kick out of watching Spero kick the crutches from under a cripple.

Hmm
JenniferEight · 02/01/2012 16:26

The people being laughed at here are not being paid to be subject to public scrutiny.

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 02/01/2012 16:31

This is just downright cruel.
