to think that all nurseries are stuffed and bulging with rampant paedophiles and murderers?

[Hullygully]

Or not?

And it wasn't about that. In fact, there is only one recent case that I remember. It was about the nature of hysterical reactions.

Well I guess you must be right since so many people beleive it to be true.

I was clearly misguided in my ridiculously optimistic credo that most people are pleasant individuals with no burning desire to hurt others.

Let's not bring Brown Owl into this.

Disclaimer.... DH is a cub leader and NOT a pedophile

"And one last clarification. It is not a joke about paedophiles. It is a joke about people seeing them everywhere. There is a subtle difference."

Subtle?!

You are no Chris Morris.

Hullygully, i cant believe you've just been accused of mocking victims of abuse.
people, how is mocking attitudes towards "theres a peadophile behind every bush!" mocking victims of abuse?
there arent peadophiles behind every bush, tahts why its funny...

zombie jokes mock dead people. and that tree thread was just mocking smokers who HAVE RIGHTS YA'KNOW.

priests are all abusers of scientific fact anyway.

i've just realised Hully flogged a dead horse. thats offensive to dead people and horses and people who were flogged by horses. im reporting you Hully, just like that nasty tree thread. poor tree

Sorry I was on the phone to the RSPCA to report the flogging of a dead horse.

hazey - with all respect your post doesn't make sense.

Thank you BritFish

This is too confusing. I'm off to score some cake.

Oh deat hully, I think that not only have you been flogging a dead horse, but you are also guilty of attacking a sacred cow. There is no hope for you.

'innapropriate' jokes make my world go round.

whats the Mumsnet stance on Nazi jokes? offensive or not?

I'm no Chris Morris. I might have that as my new name. Or DeadHorseFlogger. Or ChrisMorrisFlogsDeadHorses

ChrisMorrisFlogsDeadHorsesAndSacredCows.

Catchy, no?

Do you know any Nazi jokes?

Were the horses pedophiles?
Is that why you were flogging them?

My arms hurt.

Would you like one of us to take over the flogging for a while?

That would be much appreciated. I'll go down the knackers and get some fresh ones. This one is a bit tattered.

can you pick me up some of those gloves that let you touch people through the internet while you're there please? I want to slap my SIL

I dont know any Nazi jokes, but my DS was discussing the Hitler moustache once and made a joke, and one of DH's friends wives gave him a lecture on how innapropriate it was and how offensive it was to her. it was an hour long lecture and i still dont understand how mocking a vile dictator was in any way offensive unless she was actually a Nazi....

maybe we should just kick the horses. my arms are really tired...

this tree looked at me funny though.

Springtime for Hitler and Germany....

I thought The Producers was a disgusting Travesty. Mel Brooks should be ashamed. I have reported him.

how about jokes about all black people being criminals?

because, you know, they're not all criminals

that's why you're allowed to make jokes about it

apparently

DS1 got called a gay nazi at school

He came back with this....
While quite clearly I am neither I could only be one or the other as the Nazis were a tad homophobic and so while you decide which insult to use I shall goose step over to the corner and wave my rainbow flag!!!!

He is 13 and I thought it was a fab come back to the stupid little shit bully who called him it

yeeeeeeees ok then. you go first.

Essex girls are fair game for jokes are they not????

You should hear what I say to my sister now she has moved to Essex

why me? i'm not the one who thinks lines are there to be crossed

after you, break those taboos

come on, where's your sense of humour
