What the hell?

[Erica La Spada]

What the hell is up with the incredibly racists comments? I came to this website because I'm a fan of British comedy, Mr. Show and the like and, dude, I enjoy a good laugh, but within 30 seconds of reading a thread, I come across the most sickening, racist comments I've come across in a while, and I live in the deep South. I'm giving your users a slight benefit of the doubt and am hoping they were at least making an misguided attempt at some sort of ironic comedy, but Jesus Christ! You can keep your Nazi website. I hope you and your insecure, white, frat-boy users enjoy your time here.

Racism is tremendously ugly and rarely funny. I hope you guys grow up. I'm sure David and Bob would agree with me.

Racism is not funny. Agreed. I don't think anyone here disagrees with you on that.

The object of most of the racist comments is to demonstrate how ridiculous these opinions are. Yes, as you stated, it is an attempt at irony or satire.

I think Bob and David would agree that it can be funny if done intelligently. If there is a method to the madness so to speak.

Simple, racist comments with the sole intent to shock are not funny. It's just a cheap way to get a reaction. The problem is that no one that posts here (as far as I know) is a professional comedian. We all just have different ideas of what is acceptable and what is funny.

If you find that the majority of what you see here is unacceptable than you would be right not to participate. But if it is just a few "shitty racist jokes" than I suggest you stick around and do what most people do: "ignore the shitty racist jokes".

I've written stuff here that I thought at the time it made sense, but then looking back realized it didn't, that might be the case with some of the comments you are referring to. At the time, people may have thought it made sense in context of a bigger joke.



P.S. I'm not sure of which posts you are refering to specifically, but please note: You do have the option to report any posts to the Moderator/Admin for review.

Listen I know that the color scheme might remind you of a delicious cheesy enchilada, but Mexico is still a few more miles South.

OMG, He said David and Bob. I bet he's not even a real fan.



Fag.

[CptPlanet]

So I hate him and Julie hates him. Does that mean we can drop N-Bombs again? Those are really funny IMHO.

Jules, you have mastered the irony of missing the big picture.

Fucking hilarious, I love it.

And I'm serious, so don't start getting all self-doubting...

[Rabot]

Hey, I like me! You don't honestly think I belive those terrible things do you? That is in fact what is known as a joke, I'll be telling many of them tonight...

Yeah it's irony, the sad part is, that joke is one I overheard told seriously in my home town. These stupid redneck motherfuckers thought it was hillarious. It's hard being a "dune coon" in a white trash haven.

And bots, just cause you don't like me dosen't mean everyone else does. but incidentaly, they do anyway...:(

[Stabby]

who was being racist i'll clobber them! :mad:

When David said that line he had just finished telling a joke that got a good laugh. The comments made that Erica was refering to, weren't really that funny.

Ofcourse, that's just my opinion and I can really go fuck myself for all I care.

[tjamick]

when i saw that joke i just kind of rolled my eyes and said "whatever". you do that a good amount while posting here if you're still interested in doing so. most (all) of the comments you see here that apear to be racist are just bad jokes, (or really good ones if i post them) and need to be ignored (unless i post them).

It's funny when you consider that someone seriously considered it funny, I told you I overheard someone saying it seriously, as in he thought it was a funny joke in itself, as a straight racist joke, I agree it's realy retarded...and queer.

I do not condone racism, in fact, blah blah blah, I'm a minority, blah blah blah, so I can't be racist and hate racism.

[gerald hennessy]

Fag.

that's homophobic.

[apotatojudge]

I hope you fucking know I was kidding, as PUNT pointed out.

Also, Rabot,

I'm a minority, ...so I can't be a racist.

That's fucking bullshit.

[rootsmoker]

Amen, sister. Preach it!

[terris]

the racism around here stinks sometimes
it makes me want to bust out my anti nazi patch i used to wear when i was all "punk rock"

[neognosis]

On this other message board there's a thread titled "things you'll never hear a black person say." I didn't think it was funny until someone posted "Ask."

The simplicity just had me on the floor. Come on, now, THAT's funny!

No shit? Thats kinda what I was pointing out with all the blahing, and at the same time my hatred for people who point out the fact that they are a minority as if it makes them special or something. Or alternatively that they have some kind of special knowledge of racism based on it. That just pisses me off, you should look at a persn based on who they are, not what they are geneticaly, even if you are looking at them geneticaly is in a "positive" sense.

[Treebeard]

Hello friends it is I treebird.

This thread has inspired me to make a triumphant return to regular posting here at BUTM.

Erica, you are an asshole. You have no idea what's going on and I hate you. Go away forever. We are not racist. But let's assume that we are. Everyone on the board is a racist. What purpose does your post serve? What would happen after we read it?

We would laugh at you. In conclusion, you and Julie should blow me.

[CptPlanet]

One could work your sack and the other could tongue your shaft! Awesome idea Treebird! I like the way you think.

[CptPlanet]

oooh yeah!

Then you should told us that instead of just writing the joke. You know what I mean? Tell us the whole story upfront.

Anyways, I'm not really mad or anything, Rabot, because to me it really isn't a big deal. Please don't take this to heart...I would be hypocritical if I acted like I've never fucked up.

Infact I will place good money on the fact that I'll probably make some more bad jokes... very soon.

[CptPlanet]

Man it must suck not to be 100% awesome 100% of the time. But I guess I'll never know. All my jokes rule.

So I am assuming that wasn't a joke then? Because it wasn't funny.

Oh and the double irony is that now I have made ANOTHER bad joke myself.

full circle.

[CptPlanet]

This thread went from gay to retarded.

Point taken, I'll make sure to spell everything out for you guys next time...I assumed you'd know I didn't really belive it, maybe In the future I'll think before I post when I'm dead tired...or high.

I agree captian, this thread is both retarded and queer. Probaly because I've posted so much in it...

I know you didn't believe it. Don't worry.

Okay, and now we are done here.

[conun]

let's talk about chris rock!

[tjamick]

today i caught the last minute of a D.L. Hugley stand up thing. he was doing some "audiance work" where he'd just point out the most obvious thyings and the crowd was loving it. here's my favorite part:
"damn lady, you got some thick ass glasses (laughter). you could probably see this show from oklahoma."
and i was like "no D.L. Hugley, she couldnt see the show from oklahoma because the glasses just correct her bad vision, they dont give her super sight, plus, even if they could, i doubt she'd be able to see through walls."
then i punched my tv.

[CptPlanet]

holy crap D.L. Hughley thinks people with glasses get x-ray vision? wouldn't they all bump in to walls?

[Treebeard]

You would also need lenses that allowed you to see things that were not in a straight line ahead of you in order to allow for the curvature of the earth.

[Treebeard]

hopefully aviator style

[CptPlanet]

oh land o' lakes you people! you take a crazy idea and you make it wacky! that's what you guys do!

[lizardking]

Man, you guys seriously need to calm down with that racist BS. Why dont you take that BS to another board? We're all bros.

[tjamick]

"You reap what you sow" is all I'm saying. I don't mean to tell you how to think, but c'mon! I though we put that David Duke BS behind us 10 years ago!

wow, that's lame in the non-funny way. (boring)

[5InchTaint]

One of the traits of having a good sense of humor is to be able to laugh at yourself. If you don't have that, then make fun of everyone else.
