Your attempt to defend it, however, speaks volumes about you.

Nice to be back and enjoying your stuff and these hot debates once more. I've got a feeling ST will be raising her/his head again very soon!! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=49153#post-141880 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 19:28:14 +0000 waylandsmithy 141880@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Dick Everyman, great to see you back!</p> <p>It depends a lot on the presumptions made that are basis for the joke. For instance, Jim Davidson's jokes always started on the assumption that everyone thought black people were stupid, which is why he was so offensive. Same problem here: the presumptions made are what offends me.</p> <p>As for SugarTits, that starts from the assumption that SugarTits isn't a woman at all, but a balding middle-aged man who is obsessed with lesbians. Personally, I think that's a hilarious starting point.</p> <p>There are always grey areas, but some stuff is just wrong. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=49153#post-141879 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 19:22:02 +0000 Martin Shuttlecock 141879@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I object to everything!</p> <p>Some of my best friends are DJ's</p> <p>*Fume* </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=49153#post-141878 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 19:13:16 +0000 Dick Everyman 141878@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Hi Damien, firstly I wish I had your surname ;0) </p> <p>Secondly I learned early on here that it's extremely difficult to get a laugh out of gay innuendo even if you are in fact gay and sending yourself up. I've had a few close shaves but let's not go into that. As Wayland says it is often inadvertent.</p> <p>However, there is a loophole. If you want to get away with absolute murder here just crack a few jokes about hot wet lesbians with Japanese girlfriends! No 'molar highglound' there - oh shit was that racist? Jesus Christ - oh fuck...blasphemy. I give up..... </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=49153#post-141876 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 19:08:38 +0000 waylandsmithy 141876@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>If you want me to get on my high ground, I will. </p> <p>The post can also be interpreted as suggesting homosexuality is worse than paedophilia. And in the light of the news that a man has come forward and claimed he was abused as a child by Savile, it's also somewhat unfortunate. There's also a well-worn myth that 'gays are paedophiles'. I thought it was something that had been left behind by the mid-80s, after the debate surrounding Elton John's 'cub scout' theatre thing.</p> <p>People sometimes post stuff that's offensive or inadvertently repugnant. I'd give the writer the benefit of the doubt here, but that doesn't stop the post from being deeply offensive. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=49153#post-141875 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 19:04:04 +0000 Perks 141875@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I don't think anyone is claiming moral high ground. It may not have been intentional but headline 'Jimmy Saville cleared' for me sounds like he has been accused of a crime. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=49153#post-141874 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 18:45:58 +0000 Anonymous 141874@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>No, I disagree, he (Rootin Tootin) does not allude that being gay is a crime, I see no indication that he says that nor suggests that. </p> <p>I believe he probably meant something like:</p> <p>Previous Rumors Regarding Jimmy Savile's Alleged Homosexuality Now Laid To Rest</p> <p>"Reprehensible" it isn't, in my opinion anyway...but then again I gave it 2 as I felt I understood what he was alluding to and it kind of worked as, I also, always suspected that Savile was a homosexual (not that there is anything wrong with that) and was actually surprised he was fond of girls (albeit minors).</p> <p>Thanks for the moral high ground lesson. </p> <p>Cheers </p>
