    Probably because you've seen them before? :)

    Edit. Sorry about that photo rabies. I taught it was just behind that NSFW line

    Brilliant?

    One of those cyclists was killed. A highly inappropriate image.

    I cycle too and if you take the image as is, then yes it's terrible, shocking, awful etc. and if it was someone I knew or a family member I'd be horrified but if you take it humorously (checks forum title :rolleyes:) then the picture, the tag line and the context make it very funny.

    If you don't like it report the post...

    ..

    Even after you have been informed the photograph is of a person being killed you find it funny?

    No need to report it, your answer says enough.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,699 ✭✭✭Da Bounca


    It was meant to be funny.
    Want to research the rest of the photos so that you can take the enjoyment away from them?

    It may have been meant to be funny, but having pointed out the fact that a human being is being killed in the photograph, at least have the decency to admit it is anything but humorous.

    No thanks.

    Still getting enjoyment out of a photograph of a fatal crash?


    That photograph is anything but funny.

    Ah, I see the problem sir, your sense-of-humour module is corrupted, possibly by the 'high-horse' virus. :D

    Nah, it's much simpler than that.

    You find a photograph of a fatal road crash funny, I don't.


    If one's sense of humour extends to finding hilarity in such images then one has a sick mind.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,088 ✭✭✭BioHazRd


    What one person finds funny, very often another peson may find offensive (mohammad cartoons for example). That is the way of the world, and it makes it a far more interesting place to live.

    Golferx is quite entitled to be offended by the picture, and should not be chastised for expressing his view on the matter. Similarly, anyone who found it funny should be treated likewise - It's called a difference of opinion.

    If anyone deems it necessary to start criticising other posters for their view on the matter, they will be infracted. The post has been reported to us, and we have evaluated the post acordingly.

    Now please keep it civil

    Bio, isn't there a rule in Humour that the 'booing' of jokes isn't allowed? This attitude from Golferx is essentially 'booing' imo. :/ As I said if he finds it offensive he should be reporting it, not expressing his opinions on the thread...

    Aw, flattery won't get you anywhere but thank you. :o Shucks.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,088 ✭✭✭BioHazRd


    The reason for the rule in charter is to stop people posting "thats crap" etc and then going elsewhere (we wre plagued with this a number of years ago).

    I will always take a more lenient view on a post that goes on to explain why the poster felt a joke was poor etc. ie. constructive criticism is allowed but criticism for the sake of criticism is not.

    for example- if he had posted "that isnt funny" he would have been infracted, but as he backed up his view with the reason he felt it wasnt funny, i let the post stand

    Well I see you moderate bowling...:p

    [boring]
    When I see that picture I think of the story behind it so don't find it funny, but most of the things I'd cack myself laughing at would probably offend somebody else eg
    the ninja one

    So meh

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,793 ✭✭✭✭Hagar


    TBH it never occurred to me that the picture was real.

    We have become so used to pictures being photo shopped and made humourous that we have come to expect entertaining fakes.

    I very much doubt that the OP knew it was genuine or wished to cause offence in any way.

    That photograph is anything but funny.

    It wasn't a funny photo before, or after your timely fact injection.
    My point is that it was put there for the amusement of others. Sometimes it is better to keep things to oneself. It is the humor board afterall.

    A few more to keep this going.
