I really think that is the way to go.</p> <p>And fairs fair, you can stick a poker up my virtual a*se if I'm wrong. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=45113&page=2#post-129461 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 15:53:09 +0000 Clucksy 129461@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Well I'm not one of the "pack" so am springing to nobody's defence one way or t'other.

Here I go, jumping on.</p> <p>I thought the original joke was rubbish and unfunny, but then I think a lot of the stuff posted hereabouts is rubbish and unfunny. I do have to bite my finger sometimes to stop it typing things that might ripple the Zen-like peace and serenity of the subs board. Of course everything I sub is brilliant and the height of comic genius. Goes without saying. Usually. (Bastards!).</p> <p>However, I've noticed during the past 4 or 5 years that over-reacting and bandying abuse about are not among the best ways to win friends and influence people on this site. Neither is taking the bait and responding in kind (you know who you are). People do take their comedy rather seriously. Decent flounce though Junket, one of the better ones.</p> <p>Right, time to jump off the bandwagon again. Here we go...Wheeeeeeee! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=45113&page=2#post-129361 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 10:40:00 +0000 Scroat 129361@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>The thing about forums is that people say things they otherwise wouldn't dream of saying.

I regard jokes about 9/11 or the Holocaust in the same way.</p> <p>Andy Murray was in the school at the time the massacre took place, so certainly he knows what can be comedic value or not with regards to this. I don't think he would think there's any.</p> <p>Dunblane has had to live down the terrible events of that day which were due to just one mentally unbalanced pedophile. What can they do? What about the people of Hungerford - do they deserve it?</p> <p>I mentioned Dunblane in my submission because Andy Murray comes from there only to get the Saltire "one star special". Big deal. But I didn't mention the massacre because I don't want to inflict pain on the innocent.</p> <p>This site is about comedy, about satirizing real life with surrealism and just good humour. </p> <p>There is a line of tastelessness and unfortunately DVO crashed right through it, which is a shame because DVO is generally pretty funny.</p> <p>Come on people! There's a court case between two football multi-millionaires over whether one of them used a naughty word in the penalty box. It's got huge comedic potential.</p> <p>And by the way Perks, knowing several dyslexics as I do, they've always found time to laugh at their condition. </p>
