French?

Perhaps I am looking at something entirely different

StickingPlaster · 31/12/2011 21:08

I'm not an NCer I'm brand new, fresh out of the box! And, in some people's opinions, should probably get right back in and slap a return label on! Wink

StickingPlaster · 31/12/2011 21:09

The original pictures are often accompanied with an introduction in French. I can't remember if some are in English too. Either way, he sends the pictures with the first message mostly.

And such an interesting choice for your first and only posts StickingPlaster. Welcome btw.

This comment is quite funny:

"Dont fk with mumsnet!!

I'd rather walk into a Gorbals estate pub, wearing a pink tutu, fairy wings and then order a Babysham"

Especially since you can't type, "fuck" over on cunting PistonHeads Grin

adamschic · 31/12/2011 21:12

Awful, don't know why anyone would find this funny tbh.

LadyFlumpalot · 31/12/2011 21:14

ZXEightyMum - Some of PistonHeads arranged a raid over here, Mumsnet towers got a tadge annoyed and shouted at the owners of PistonHeads...who are now scared of Mumsnet HQ!

EmmaBemma · 31/12/2011 21:18

"So what do you find funny MrsDeVere?"

Because after all, what else is there in the world apart from crudely-drawn caricatures of single women on dating sites. If you can't raise a chuckle there, there's something wrong with you. Am I right.

Eh? You gotta laugh, haven't you. It's only a JOKE! Eh? Christ. Cheer up, love, it might never happen.

MaisyMooCow · 31/12/2011 21:23

To some extent, anyone who posts a picture on a dating site is going to be judged. This artist was just blatant in the way he did it. Perhaps dating sites should be a cv....judged on the content, not the look of a person or their age!

adamschic · 31/12/2011 21:26

Maisy, judging works both ways!

ZXEightyMum · 31/12/2011 21:27

I vaguely remember that. Did we not go over there and try to make friends with them like we do at Netmums from time to time?

MaisyMooCow · 31/12/2011 21:27

adamschic Don't quite understand your comment?

Oh sorry I will spell it out. You put your photo on an internet dating site. Someone likes it so sends you a message and you see their photo, you do or don't like it and this depends on whether you send a message back. It's a two way thing.

MaisyMooCow · 31/12/2011 21:34

adam I totally agree but all I'm saying is that this guy took it further by having to 'comment' on the things he didn't like about the women rather than just looking, deciding he didn't like them and moving on.

JenniferEight · 31/12/2011 23:01

EmmaBemma, I think I have a big girly crush on you BlushSmile

TiggyD · 01/01/2012 00:12

Are there people from Pissed on Heads here? Should we stop posting naked now?

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 01/01/2012 00:27

Ds1 posts a lot on pistonheads - I do find it funny that they have a swear filter and we don't.

flyingspaghettimonster · 01/01/2012 01:24

If I were one of them I would be very hurt - in a lot of the pictures he has deliberately chosen the woman's weakest point - i.e the high forehead or turned up nose, and made it a huge exaggeration. What woman doesn't already know her less attractive features and worry about them? It is just cruel in my opinion.

ZXEightyMum · 01/01/2012 01:45

Again, scroll down to see the porn-drawing made here

They can't type fuck but can perpetuate these sorts of ideas about women as objects.

I actually DID laugh at the first few images because of the visual humour.

Drawing an actual representation of a real and unsuspecting woman's face onto a pornographic pose - that makes you a massive cunt actually and I'm amazed that the site mods and admins can have such double standards wrt language Hmm

fridakahlo · 01/01/2012 03:52

What's worse is he was talking about taking the women who he was targeting for a drink as a real possibility, Words fail me!

xyfactor · 01/01/2012 04:14

It's funny and I nearly died laughing at some of the representations.
So I wont be joining the righteous pulling your knickers up really high offended to death mob.

JenniferEight · 01/01/2012 10:24

Well if it's the choice between offended to death or looking like a twat, I think I would choose the offended gang.

SuePurblybilt · 01/01/2012 10:37

tethers, the originals were not a pistonheads thing, no. But they made their own versions from women's PoF profiles, see ZXEightyMum's link and more.

tethersend · 01/01/2012 11:24

Yeah, I saw that after I'd posted, Sue.

At least the originals- in all their racist and misogynist glory- were original. To copy them is just a bit tragic. I wonder what the original artist thinks of their work?
