Politically incorrect but not racistic!
For once I can empathize with the "Oh God they live near me" response. Lolz. Trolls. Photoshopped Macros. Flames. Political Incorrectness in the guise of "being awesome", Godwin's Law, splinters from the head desking. Oh wait that last one was me.


Snagged off of wank_report, first part taken directly from G.Mousey, except when marked with a {}



Follow the linky to the wank

Troll_lady insults somebodies musical taste {Probably this post here,} in a earlier post and when the original poster of said post disables comments, [info]troll_lady uses the above post to “apologise” for her hurtful remarks. The post itself isn’t really wanky, {in as far as photoshopped macro's go} but rather what occurs in the comments as [info]perfect_riot posts many, many tasteless Sophie Delezio* jokes:

Some people find it funny. Most people don’t.

There’s also a nice little debate on the merits of political correctness and someone running about calling people ‘fag’s for no apparent reason.

Oh! And it now continues in this post, when [info]proof_im_human tries to change the subject. Unsuccessfully. {One of the tricks is to not mention your changing the subject, I'd suspect.}




The second part of the wank features... More macros and justification of said macros.

"I think you're missing the point here, the reason David (perfect_riot) posted these images of the Sophie girl was because of the absolute media frenzy it's caused and the false hero worship of a little girl that doesn't know what's going on nor is a hero in anyway. It's just a circus and a tool to pluck at society's heart strings.

QUITE different from me or anyne suddenly running up to the very person and abusing them.

And personally, I'm not interested in this either way. I just believe in freedom of speech, if people wish to revolt against their frustrations with the media on some livejournal commuity, whatever, don't encourage it but don't blantly try and stop them, that just causes more attention!"

Flaming aside, bad jokes are the bedrock of this nation. A nation built by English/Irish/Scottish/Welsh criminals and persecuted people from Europe to East Timor strives on jokes that are a little questionable in content. It's Unaustralian to not find them funny.

YOU ARE UNAUSTRALIAN. I'M CALLING ALAN JONES AND PIERS AKERMAN TOMORROW."

But don't worry, there is a truce, and they are all friends now!
Really.

Am I the only one who thinks that [info]troll_lady gave it away with her username, and is surprised that anyone takes her seriously, ever?

*Context:
This is one of the more recent news items on Sophie: http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,19784502-1702,00.html

There's been some what of a media frenzy around Sophie, applauding her and calling her brave, fund rasing, etc, to the point that there has been a backlash. A backlash of what, I'm not entirely certain, but enough that I've noticed the backlash more than the source articals.
