Asian flight 214 A San Francisco tv station wanting to get the news out first on the crash landing. Naming the crew and going on official reports. ( link anyone) then the grovelling apology SUM TING WONG WI TU LO HO LEE FUK BANG DING OW Was on tv cocks ups programme last night. Can’t find which station it was on. Makes a mockery of the media by the way. Edit Apologies to anyone who think I was poking fun at the outcome of the crash. Nothing was further from my mind. The media was the subject of laughter as was shown on tv.
Don’t try and play that game to cover your arse. Hence The point of it being a mockery of the media. In wanting to get the news story out first. Like the hounding of D Cummings. Nowt in comparison to your Madeline Quote Which was in such bad taste. have you removed it yet. Anyone else realising would have. And issued an apology.
Feel free to laugh at something which is not at all topical, but involved significant loss of life and much serious injury, whichever way you look at it, or seek to divorce your post from it. It was on this site years ago btw. At least I was poking fun at a reference to the Algarve, the slave trade and the missing girl, all of which are presently in the news. For what it's worth, I don't find difficulty in sometimes finding humour in adversity and misfortune. Or in finding fault in hypocrisy. Perhaps you could ask site admin to remove my post if you find it so offensive.
And yet you still don’t find your comment Seen in bad taste. I’ve tried to correct my intention. For anyone that has got the same impression as you. It’s quite easy to do by the way. It’s funny how you’ve tried to justify your comment on this thread. When in fact you ought to have done it on the other one. I would not dream of asking Admin to do something you should have done yourself. Leave it there if your fine with it. Yes I did and do find it in VERY bad taste. I don’t care how anyone else finds it. Regardless of your explanation. If it was on the site years ago then I missed it. I was on about last night as the time I saw it. Loads of stuff gets repeated. Even subjects in the last few weeks. If owts on tonight and I want to raise it. Does it have to be Topical. Done. You can have the last comment on the subject.
My comment regarding Madeleine McCann could be seen to be in poor taste. I shall take this opportunity to apologise to all those who have taken the trouble to post that they were offended by it. They are.....er..........you. Furthermore, given that you keep mentioning "bad taste"... I have resisted so far from commenting upon the racist undertones of the subject matter that so tickled your fancy. We are being asked, are we not, to chortle heartily from the premise that Asians struggle to pronounce good old English words. Hence the pilots' names. I'm not so sure in these present times that you're on fertile ground there, when it comes to being on board with all things politically correct. Now all this need to be overly correct does not bother me in the slightest. But let he who is without sin cast the first stone, as they say. Perhaps you should remove your initial post? Even though i don't personally find it in VERY bad taste.
Racist undertones yer having a laugh. Are we not allowed to create names now. Regardless of race. Phil McCavity Gerrupta Singh Roger Fitzgerald Mike Hunt Ivor Biggun the list is endless. If you see the names in the thread as racist undertones. I don’t. Fine. Feel free to comment. Your sarky comment . er you . Really. I pointed it out before anyone else. Doesn’t need others to confirm. If in the same frame of mind. If there isn’t so be it . I don’t require an apology. The comment did.
We will have to disagree to a point ST . The fact was it was a play on names that the media swallowed. Whether the originator who contacted the station. (who was according to the news reader an official) intended racial undertones. Only they know. For that I totally agree. As for being on the side of the pc brigade as GGP Points out. Political correctness by enlarge is a noble thing. But not when it becomes a tool for the PC brigade to beat folk with a stick. Offended for the unoffended. I dread the day when everyone becomes sterile and forget humour for what it is.
Showed the rabid nature of 24 hour news for what it is. Good journalism either front line in the line of fire or slow detailed and investigative can't be underestimated.
but in your world the killing of a black man had no base in race. I’m not here for an argument however as I know you like to labour your point,
No I said there's sod all evidence that the killing of a black man by a man who has previously killed a white man and assisted by 1 white cop and two BAME cops was racially motivated.
Can one of you please tell me how to take the so funny out of the thread title. As I’m not comfortable with that part in hindsight.
Scroll up to your opening post and there should be something around the top right called Thread Tools. Click on that and it gives you an option to edit title.
I've noticed you love to mention the "white" man who Chauvin was said to have also killed...you do know that American Indians are not classed as white...he was a member of the Ojibwe tribe
