That's a good fucking joke! It's only offensive to white angry dickheads.

But he's a white male living it up in his privilege mansion. Also, he has culturally appropriated a predominantly black sport. Shame. Shame. Shame.

He really should try to be less white. It's so unbecoming.

Er.... eh... I-I-I-I made some comments that I hadn't really thought through. I had drank a few glasses of red wine and had taken some back-pain medic.... prescribed back-pain medication... prescribed to my wife - full disclosure.... before taking to a local scene heavy metal talk-page. Nobody has done more for the pink faced community than me... So of my best friends have high blood pressure.


Similar to the Ellefson thing; nothing "wrong" with the joke in and of itself, but a public figure should reflect a couple of seconds longer than the lad down the pub or than, y'know, a comedian. For one thing cos there are enough morons out there that would start thinking, "Yeah, he got that penalty cos he's black. It's PC gone mad!!"

Ah give over. The kind of clown who would jump to that kind of conclusion is beyond reason. It was a simple play on words and reflects more on the culture of diving and high drama that has become a feature of soccer in recent times. The fact that he got burned out of it is because anyone taking the piss out of a black person now in any respect, even a cheating yet insanely well paid footballer, must be a hateful bigot. There is no sense of proportion. I mean, that poor millionaire really is the victim here  :laugh:

Any backlash is not about him personally having the piss taken out of him at all though, and you well know it.

Of course, but anyone who is going to read that much into a funny pun needs to chill out, have a beer and get down off their high horse. Sometimes a joke is just a joke.
