what was I mean't to have assumed ....?

I find it hard to think of any 'black jokes' that AREN'T thinly disguised xenophobia. I think the basis of a lot of humour is simply the recognition of a difference and commenting on it - thus I find it hard to imagine a 'black joke' that I wouldn't find offensive - unless you know any ????

Personally I find the Daily Mail far more offensive than anything on this site ...

Wasn't a recent topic "what if Jim Davidson was PM" or something ... let me go back and check the posts from then to see what was 'acceptable' humour and what wasn't ...

( Mushroom, Sun 25 Sep 2005, 3:50, archived)

Yeah.
Doing drugs isn't just a celebrity lifestyle thing. Every fucker's at it! Tabloids don't splash 'stories' like this all over the place because they care about people's welfare or they want to set a good example to kids. They do it to flog their revolting rags, and will stop at nothing to do so. Anyone who wants to do drugs, imo, go ahead and have a great time. Just keep it amongst your circle of caners or you're going to run into problems whatever walk of life you're from. Sadly for these guys they've made it obvious and are now reaping the consequences, and whoever took the photos and sold them to the press is a disgusting little cunt who should never be able to look at themself in the mirror again. Probably some skint hanger-on needing cash for their own habit, safe in the knowledge that noone would ever give two fucks if they were pictured having a line. That said, cocaine is nasty stuff. It doesn't inspire creativity. It just makes shy people gregarious and turns confident people into cunts. And sobers you up!

As I've said (in earlier posts) , I don't agree with
what they've done/are doing and especially the hypocrisy of the fashion houses/PR/Marketing industry so that's why I did the earlier pics.

Some papers/commentators were asking me to feel sorry for them - some were going rabid.

Neither extreme is going to do any good.

Some will say it's hypocrisy on my part - I would disagree - but they have every right to accuse me of that.

I think the issue is now about balance.

The whole marketing influence makes me pretty angry, hence my rant a few days ago.
