Curling team jumping for joy photo

[Bwobbwob]

Magnificent performance from the women’s curling team but AIBU to have been irked by the photo of the team “jumping for joy” in the way we see (usually - or possibly only - girls) photographed fake celebrating their GCSE or A-level results? I found it patronising and was cross enough to email the BBC about it (& I’m not in the habit of doing that sort of thing) but I now see one of the team used the photo themselves on twitter. So WIBU?

Seriously?

Ooh bet you wish they still made Points of View don’t you.

A photo of people celebrating made you cross?

🤣 I'm sorry what?

Wtaf? 😂

I think you may be just a bit U.

If you can't jump for joy after winning a gold medal at the Olympics, when can you?

You seriously emailed to complain to the BBC because of a photograph of a team celebrating? You're an absolute batshit mentalist!

That is all you have to worry about?

Oh I wish I worked in the BBC complaints department, I bet rarely a day passes when they don’t get a good belly laugh at some of the nonsense submitted.

It would be abysmal if they were told to jump for Joy, you know, like girls.

I would jump for joy and I'm not sure if it's because I have a vagina. Maybe? Should I therefore not just do that I don't irritate someone else with a vagina?

I actually can't believe you emailed in!!! They are literally jumping, with happiness! It resembles nothing of 'GCSE' photos. Gah.

Err maybe they were actually jumping for joy? I would be if I had just won a gold medal at the olympics.

Why would you complain about that?

The girls were celebrating. It's not like they were being told what to do.

They’ve just won the biggest prize in their sport, a massive achievement and are celebrating in a way they want to and you’ve emailed the BBC to complain about it???? Wtaf!
Actually maybe they should have just shook hands with each other and got on with love as it’s just a gold medal! Ffs

Yes, you were unreasonable...

this!

What a thing to be me mad about 🤣🤣think you have to much spare time on your ideas if this affects you so much! Poor women just enjoying thier win!!

Oh bore off and celebrate their success. Well done GB ladies!

This can’t be real. Maybe they should have slapped eachother on the backs all macho like.

You're right - they should all have 'curled' themselves into a human version of the Olympic Rings. Photographers have no imagination these days.

😂 😂 😂

GRIPS! GET YOUR GRIPS HERE! ONE SIZE FITS ALL! GRIPS FOR SALE!

They were excited and took an excited photo. 🤷‍♀️

Fuck sake, the stuff that causes offence to mumsnetters never fails to amaze me

My thoughts exactly. I seem to remember pictures of Tom Daley and his teammates, coaches etc jumping for joy, into a pool, when he won his bronze (I think) medal.
