TheDrewYouKnew 3 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 It's in the past people. We can move on and instead get mad at eachother for the tens of thousands of Americans who have died since that day or we can continue to play the "Who can show they care more game".

AUChizad 0 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 My $.02. It takes a lot to offend me, and even I thought it was in poor taste. If I saw it at a party I'd think it was overboard. That being said, these kids dressed up for Halloween with the obvious intention to shock, at a small private party with their friends that obviously weren't too offended by it. Those friends took pictures, and it ended up on facebook, where in theory only your "friends" are supposed to be able to see them. It's not like they took these pictures and e-mailed them to the victims' families. People have every right to be offended, but they have every right to be offensive.

DCWarEagle 0 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 The morons at Penn State certainly have the right to dress that way, but it is incredibly offensive. Mass murder is not funny. Killing innocent students in class is not funny. And those costumes are not funny. It is wrong for people to threaten them, but I hope that all of their future employers see these pictures. Maybe they will see the humor in being unemployed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a difference between a picture of you acting/dressing in a dumb manner, and a picture of you mocking innocent people who were murdered. That analogy doesn't even apply.

TheDrewYouKnew 3 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I think we should sue. I have decided that I am offended $5 Million dollars worth. Anyone want to join up and get a nice big class action lawsuit started? I mean this is America, where the offended gets da cheese, da scrilla, dat green, and dees benjamins!!

We all act stupidly at times. If I were in a positon to hire someone and I saw a picture of them drinking, acting stupid, etc it would not phase me and I would still hire them. I think my current boss would not be too alarmed either. If I saw a picture of a job applicant mocking the deaths of dozens of innocent people, I would drop their resume into the trash can.

AUChizad 0 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I find it to be hilarious. I would have loved to have seen that at some of the Halloween parties I went to, would have got my picture taken with them for sure. What amazes me is why so many people here care. What about he good ole days when you could offend someone and it not be all over the internet. You have issues. I'll play along.........a sense of humor. Neither sense nor humor. Posting on an internet forum does not make you a scientist. I can't have one w/o the other. Pull up a chair GG and RWS. Next thing you know you'll start to talk Katrina. No costume ideas ytd What if they were your friends? Would you find it hilarious? Or your parents? That would be a real life riot wouldn't it? What If came on here and said I would want to take a picture with them? I'm sure you would be saying the same thing... What if Steve Irwin was your friend or family member?One of the most popular costumes last year was him with a sting ray through the chest. And that was less than a month after he died. I know for a fact that you found that to be humorous then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUesquire 1 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Now, that IS pretty funny. I'd have to lightly chortle at the very least.

One of the most popular costumes last year was him with a sting ray through the chest. And that was less than a month after he died. I know for a fact that you found that to be humorous then. I think those are very different situations. Steve Irwin was a celebrity who gained notoriety through voluntarily putting himself in dangerous situations and being around wild animals. He put himself in that situation and the fact that he died by injuries recieved from an animal didn't really surprise anyone. I thought those costumes about him were in poor taste, but not shockingly offensive. The Virginia Tech students were kids going to school who were murdered by a homicidal maniac.

townhallsavoy 2 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I don't see what the big deal is. Last Halloween, my girlfriend dressed up like Natalee Holloway and I was Joran Van Der Sloot. We brought around a big rope and an empty bottle of vodka. She'd take a swig, then I'd act like I was throwing her tied up into the ocean. It was a real scream. The year before that, I dressed up like an insurgent while a friend of mine was dressed like a business man. We did a spoof on cutting his head off. That one was great. Back in high school, a few friends of mine had this great gag. One friend of mine and I were dressed up like the World Trade Centers. Two other friends were dressed up like planes. Randomly, they would come crash into us. Well, here's the best part - the two of us who were dressed up like the buildings had tons of tiny action figures in our pockets; we'd start spewing them out all over the floor before we fell down on top of them. Those Penn St guys should have had their asses kicked. However, I can't say that I'm totally surprised. I think we try to push the envelope. For instance, remember when Marilyn Manson came out and gave a satanic sermon on the MTV music awards? Then he ran around in a g-string singing about beautiful people. Everybody gasped and talked about it at the water cooler. Remember when Jackass came out and everybody was amazed at how stupid those guys acted? Or when Borat went around the country making fun of problems in our culture? Eventually, the boundary is going to be crossed. Just like when Prince Douche dressed up like Hitler.

That's kind of what I was hoping for. I think our culture has detiorated when it comes to comedy. Instead of "I can't get no respect" and Jerry Lewis antics, we've resorted to "HOLY s*** CAN YOU BELIEVE HE JUST DID THAT HAHAHAHAHA." I remember watching a documentary on HBO about the Aristocrats joke. The joke is just filling in disgusting, perverted details into a story about a family auditioning for a play. The more offensive it gets, the funnier it's suppose to get. What's sad is that it works on me. But somewhere, a line is drawn. Dressing up like VA Tech victims for Halloween - not cool. Spoofing on Steve Irwin - not cool. Making fun of southern etiquette in the Borat movie - very funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
