LOL is it that obvious (Olymphicks 2012)
 

So I came across this picture on a sister website called abovetopsecret:

Didn't think much to it...then as the author stated, there was something screwed up about it:

WTF...is this some kind of joke? It's insensitive at best...if that was the other way round, a Jew or Israeli (yes there is a difference) was depicted in the same way you wouldn't hear the end of it.

There seems to be a lot of hype around the Olympics...I sincerely hope to god nothing happens, to anyone, period.

But I can't help thinking that if something does happen, it will be the catalyst for a complete change and the start of a war that no one will want to have on their conscience.

I don't understand what you mean. Are you talking about the man with some sort of turban? What is wrong with that??

it does look bin ladeney... and he`s on the outside(ish) looking in, and he doesnt look happy.

id be more worried about tony blair doing the pole vault....

Reading too much into I think. He looks like millions of people around the world and tens of thousands of people in the UK.

You have to go a long way to be offended nowadays ;)

Pretty sure i have nailed that stereotype!

TBH i was more offended by the ginger persons hair at the front of the bigger pic and can someone photoshop in some Romanian child beggars!

Wee speech bubble above his head with the words "Allahu Akbar"

And they've made the Pole appear bent. :mad:

LOL

Think you are reading way too much into it.

You could read this both way, if there was not a man in a turban would the question be asked why not??

You can't win the PC battle at all!


"Is political correctness dead?" We asked a leading poof! :D

I just think they've tried to get every 'token' going into the picture, as is usual these days with any government/BBC produced print medium/programme.

Watch something like a kids TV program these days you've got one of every colour/creed shoehorned in there...

Very true, i have noticed that too.

I prefer the good old stereotype days.

When i was a wee lad every black guy had to speak patio, every chinese guy knew karate and kung fu, all the brownie's had a shop and the English were terrible racist singers.

Friggin' hilarious this thread.

Brightened up my day. :lol1:

Just to lighten things ...

'SIAL' (check my thread on the wonderful Ms Jenneke) :D

Gutted she's not in the Olymps. :mad:

Ahhh the good old days :D

tbh dude i dont think there that light judging by the bounce,,,,, :lol1::lol1::lol1::lol1::lol1:

dont see any black , chineese or anything either , infact the guy in the turban looks like the only ethnic minority. Maybe he is a gay , crossdresser , polish , hindu, in a wheelchair to cover all bases in one person ?

WoW spot on!

My life is richer for having watched that :)

She is soooo bang tidy!:thumb:

nom nom nom!

Holy thread revival, batperson.......

Same here :thumb:

I do enjoy a happy ending.
