    I cant be sure that anyone finds it funny.... I think most feel it is an awful clip.. One which degrades a young girl in one of the most awful ways... weather it is consenual or not the girl was most likely intoxicated in one form or another... The lads who took part should be ashamed of themselves and realise what they done to this girl is wrong.. Full stop..

    The fact that a number of other young people where present during the event is even more appauling, you would think that someone would interviene and take the girl away from the company she is in.. I would presume that there was other young women present, which shocks me further that they would allow thier friend to take part in such a thing..

    I would love to say that kids will be kids, but this is taking it one step further. What could the girl possibely be trying to prove? She is lucky that the mobile phone used was not a higher quality and that the lad recording it had no interest in her face... Her integretidy would surely have sunk to rock bottom if the front page of The Sun had included a close up of her.

    Not funny, more like car crash TV, you want to look away but are somehow compelled to understand... ...why?

    I have to admit, it is a sad reflection on society, but probably an apt portrayal of where we are at as a society. :(

    I found it hilarious...not as in HHAHAHAHAHA, but like ha, look at the state of them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 410 ✭✭flynnc8


    I have to say I didnt find one piece hilarious... Maybe its a gender thing...
    You know, fellas are ledgends for bedding women and women are sluts for bedding fellas....

    So blokes will probably look at the clip and say ha ha the dirty yolk, go on the boys give her socks...

    Where as the girls are saying OMG OMG OMG, what are these people doing....

    I don't think it's fair to assume the lads have any more knowledge of right and wrong than the girl. Other than that, I think you are spot on.

    Sorry I did not mean it to come across that way... obviously each played thier own part in the events..

    it's the same thing from two different perspectives really, one saying "they are all equally to blame" and the other saying "they are all equally blameless" - the amount of blame remains the same :p

    HI, could some one pm the link as well want to see what all the fuss is about:D


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,030 ✭✭✭Lockstep


    Meh, I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with wanting to watch it.

    I've seen a sh!tload of fecked up stuff that I heard about on boards and I honestly can't explain why i wanted to watch it.


    I knew they were gonna be rank and I knew that I was letting myself in for something wrong but I wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

    If someone told me "OMG! Look outside! 15 year olds gangbanging in the street!"
    I would still look outside.
    No, it would not give me any excitement but I'd still look outside, for reasons I cannot explain.
