mick o'pedia website

curadh

Has anyone seen this crap?
Its a website in wikipedia style that conveys fact through stupid irish phraseology like 'to be sure' etc.
I for one find it offensive, not least because the title refers to a 'mick' which is what the english called us for slang.
I'm just wondering if anyone else felt offended by it and how to go about getting it pulled as being racist. In my mind the same idea could be applied to a black slang website and could be titled ****** o'pedia. Correct me if Im wrong.

Plenty of things out there more deserving of your anger.

Thats brilliant. I looked up scorpion just to check how it works and love some of the lines

"Though the oul' scorpion has a fearsome reputation as venomous, only about 25 species are known to have venom capable of killin' an oul' human bein', for the craic"

"When the male has identified a feckin' suitable location, he deposits the bleedin' spermatophore and then guides the oul' female over it. This allows the bleedin' spermatophore to enter her genital opercula, which triggers release of the bleedin' sperm, thus fertilizin' the feckin' female, would ye believe it? The matin' process can take from 1 to 25+ hours and depends on the oul' ability of the bleedin' male to find a holy suitable place to deposit his spermatophore. Listen up now to this fierce wan. If matin' goes on for too long, the oul' female may eventually lose interest, breakin' off the bleedin' process"

less than 300 posts in 9 years as a member of boards, i had to wonder was the OP doing some sort of reverse psychology to get hits on something that they themselves set up

Sky King

How does it work?

If it's be referencing the actual wiki page for the same thing and then irish-ifying it it's actually quite clever!

I prefer uncyclopedia for laffs though.

If that's what you want to do, go for it.

If you really think the international view is taken from this website, then you deserve to be ridiculed.

What the feck is phraseology? It's phases or phrasing.

Never said the International view is taken from this website.......but it certainly doesnt do it any good.......

Look..as Ive said Id find it funny if it wasnt so official....Is it an official website? Owned by Wikipedia?

Phraseology is fine, just not in that context. Phraseology is the study of err... phrases.

Then it's not fine

how is that stalker when its right under your username?

Feeona

Speaking as a qualified phraseologist, I am quite offended at the lack of knowledge people have about phraseology.

Or to put it in plain language, yis can all feck off.

stevenmu

I'm getting pretty sick of people being offended by absolutely everything. In fact I now find it incredibly offensive. OP your offendedness is offending me, therefore I demand that you stop it at once.

You implied that the international view was taken from the website. I called bull**** - the international view will see that site for what it is, a harmless parody. It's just a shame some of the Irish temselves can't take the view.

Look..as Ive said Id find it funny if it wasnt so official....Is it an official website? Owned by Wikipedia?

Seriously?

So you're worried about foreigners thinking we're thick and then...? Oh, never mind.

I am pie

Don't be so precious.

I'm kinda hoping it's some Irish lads behind this, that'd send our super sensitive OP into some spin.....sorry, some feckin shpin ! Begorrah : )

It IS a wiki site. Mildly amusing but gets boring very quickly.

BackScrub

First belly laugh I've had in a good while.

You'd have to be pretty sad really to get offended by that. That said, I'll probably be tired of it in a day or two.

Hobbes

It's just wikipedia with some auto generated fecks and wans.

mongdesade

If you can't laugh at yourself, sure what's the point ?

Bit of harmless piss-taking is all it is

Fromthetrees

I've never used the word 'bleedin' outside of using it for its actual meaning, more like DubO'Pedia. :rolleyes:

Ah sure, the Mickopedia boys are just like the Irish. They aren't racist, they're only havin' the craic.

This has upset the OP so much that they've closed their account.:(

Feckin' hell you're easily offended. Loads of Irish speak like that. From what I've seen the grammar is superior to what passes for English in many, many Irish households. take your head out of your hole and wake up.

beemish

Be the holy feck, this is a quare wan

Doc Ruby

I don't see anything offensive about it really, I mean if it was derogatory that would be a different story, but its not.
