It’s just seaside silly humour. No I’m not offended. Why are you?

DriftGames · 28/11/2020 09:11

YABU
It's just a bit of a joke, tasteless but I wouldn't find it offensive.

sandgrown · 28/11/2020 09:11

No . It’s seaside postcard humour.

Rainb0wDrops · 28/11/2020 09:11

Not rip roaringly funny but I'm not offended

EveryDayIsADuvetDay · 28/11/2020 09:12

it's a bit 1960's - I do find it in poor taste.
What was the context of the post?

buckeejit · 28/11/2020 09:12

Yes it would annoy me & id pass comment. There's no group that I could imagine this kind of 'joke' being appropriate. It wouldn't ruin my day though

Nc135 · 28/11/2020 09:12

Not offensive no. But equally very childish and unoriginal.

Besswess88 · 28/11/2020 09:12

Because it’s so smutty and it absolutely objectifies women.

Maybe it hits a raw nerve with me particularly because I have large boobs and have had to put up with shit like this (comments) my entire adult (and teenage) life.

It's poor taste but not offensive. I'd make my judgements about the person who posted it.

SchrodingersImmigrant · 28/11/2020 09:13

I giggled.
Not offensive. It's a silly humour.

TreacleHart · 28/11/2020 09:13

I see it and think 1970s bad taste humour. It doesn't offend me because I think that time is over.

FippertyGibbett · 28/11/2020 09:13

No.
Cringy in this day and age, but not offensive.

Besswess88 · 28/11/2020 09:13

It hasn’t ruined my day ...

It's not funny and it reminds me of Benny Hill. Outdated and should stay in the past where it belongs

bert3400 · 28/11/2020 09:13

It would of been better if it had actually been funny

KihoBebiluPute · 28/11/2020 09:13

It's a useful way to filter your acquaintances for people you want nothing to do with, because no one worth knowing would find it funny. However it shouldn't be censored - freedom of speech makes it easier to spot and avoid the arseholes.

Tadpolesandfroglets · 28/11/2020 09:14

Yes. I think I’d awful. And not funny.

Tadpolesandfroglets · 28/11/2020 09:14

*its

This.
PrincessNutNut · 28/11/2020 09:15

It's one of those ancient "naughty postcards". A bit naff and embarrassing but I can't get too worked up over it. Has the sharer never seen them before?

Cam2020 · 28/11/2020 09:16

I find it pretty revolting. It's that old fashioned seaside humour as PPs have already stated.

HMSSophie · 28/11/2020 09:16

Yes.

NoPainNoTartine · 28/11/2020 09:17

Look no further than this forum to find people being offended by absolutely anything and everything, so you are just following the fashion.

Unless it's a caricature of some work colleagues against their will, then no, it's not offensive. Why would it be.

VainAbigail · 28/11/2020 09:17

It’s not offensive but you do seem to have taken it personally.

Helmetbymidnight · 28/11/2020 09:17

its a stupid joke for stupid people
