how would you react to someone thinking you would find this funny?

[bitunsureboutit]

warning it is pretty sick!! have namechanged incase person involved reads this.

was sent a joke "chain" text from dh....

found a dvd last night titled jordans dribbling cunt, you can imagine how dissaponted i was when cock in hand i hit play and it turned out to be a video of her feeding harvey.

am so pissed of with this on so many levels but as he never made it up he cant see what i have to be pissed about.

That's pretty sick, tbh.

Can't he?

Good god...

That is disgusting.

tbh, I would think a lot less of anyone who found that funny. I would lose respect for them.

FFS. I'd worry about someone who can't see why that would be offensive.

I would be spitting nails if someone sent that to me, and I WOULD have a go at the person who forwarded it, because I think the fact that they saw it as funny enough to send on would say a lot about them.

The only decent thing to do if you get an e-mail like that is to delete it and tell the person who sent it not to send stuff like that again, imo.

That is disgusting. I would delete whoever posted that

[Shock] have just re read and realised your husband sent you this. I would be having words with him.

that's vile.
and he thinks it's ok just because he didn't make it up???

i am speechless

So you have differing senses of humour. He misjudged. Yes, he should understand that you're upset and feel sorry to have upset you - is that the problem? Or are you asking for a disproportionate amount of regret?

Fwiw, I find it repulsive but can see that it's meant to be a joke.

So your dh thinks calling a child a 'cunt' is ok? Passing on the text is a s bad as making up the joke. It made my jaw drop in horror.

If my dh sent this to me I'd think I'd married someone who is thick or incredibly ignorant tbh. I'd be worried about how he views women, kids, special needs and pornography.

I'd worry about how that reflected on my family life.

It's still maKING my skin crawl. It's like reading about child abuse or something.

I tell you, some people are sick. Forget the porn aspect, but to make a joke that a disabled child is a dribbing cunt - anyone who thinks that's amusing is a shit, imo.

I go to comedy clubs on a regular basis. I hear a lot of stuff that's on the edge of being offensive.

But most comedians know it's not funny to refer to a specific child as a 'dribbling cunt'.

Just cos it's meant to be a joke doesn't make it acceptable.

I would delete them immediately.

I also think that it was entirely unnecessary for you to repeat said offensive item practically verbatim on a parenting messageboard where it is bound to cause offence and upset to a much wider audience.

It would have been easy for you to say "I was sent an offensive joke about Jordan's child- what should I do?", but you have chosen to go into as much detail as the idiot on facebook.

That makes you as big a twit, I'm afraid.

i am guessing the OP is posting because her DH is making out that she is over-reacting, so she is wondering whether she is.

and i would also hazard a guess at her repeating it in the OP because she KNEW that people would immediately come on and say "well... it's hard ot say without knowing what the text said"

How would I react?

I would detail exactly how revolting I found them.

If I were married to someone who thought I would find that funny, I would have to have a serious look at my relationship because I would wonder how well he knew me, personally. And then I would wonder what was wrong with me to be married to Jim Davidson.

Your husband is a vile idiot, OP. I feel sorry for you.

Hope he manages to muster the intelligence to see why that's such a horribly wrong thing to pass around, and wonders why he ever found it funny.

How would I react?

Well, I would realise that I no longer wish to be friends with this person, and blank them until they were out of my life.

But if it was DH for heavens sake, I would be having serious words first. Then if he couldn't see what I was annoyed about, I would alsobe questioning his ability to parent my children.

that is a typical mans stupid text that they all send one another, my brother/husband gets loads of them from idot mates, your H's mistake was sending it on to you, but i have to say i did chuckle at it, but would not of been happy if my H or brother sent it to me, i detest the C word.

Serious words situation

Well, it's not funny, and I can see how some people might find it offensive, but it's not really that big a deal. You know your own H, is he generally sexist and keen to mock disabled people? or was he just not really thinking about it much?
