see above, there weren't THAT many FP'd and anywaygeuine funny ones we can all have a laugh at in the contect that they are FUNNY, by endlessley repeating the same joke and swamping the boards with the same mohammed stuff, kinda makes the board look a bit racist and that it has 'issues',no?

Yeah, I agree.I like a good bandwagon, but they can trundle on just a little too long, especially when they can be seen as offensive.

yeah, this place THRIVES on poking fun at bad/disaster situationsbut in the context that its not endlessly repeated for the sake of it all as with this mohammed business. It generally tends to be funny in a genuine way.

How many FP's have we had in the last three days? How many have featured the Danish catoon thingy? I've seen some genuinely funny stuff not get FP'ed like the BANISH one yesterday. I think everyones had enough of it.

Admittedly, these have pretty much covered all bases. But they are fucking funny still.www.sayagain.co.uk/b3tapix/images/ROFL.jpg

and they're funny cos we can read into them, we understand them...as I said before, its not just shopping mohammeds representation onto a gay couple having sex, its not big and its not clever...

Exactly, WE can read into them and WE understand them..but extremists are unlikely to see them within that context, are they?
Even a couple of the FP'd ones were mocking the Islamic belief that you shouldn't pictorially represent prophets or god. The one with the vegetable Mohammed at the end, for instance.
Not to say that I didn't laugh at it. Just making the point that many of them could be seen to be inflamatory.

this, you don't want to make the mistake of thinking that extremists are clever in anyway...extremism comes mainly from blind reactionism.

All humour is inflamatory.I think the real question is: is there really
a double standard?
I'm not absolutely convinced there isn't
(not here on b3ta but in the European press).
