The PC and Perpetually Offended Brigade

If you clicked on the image credit link provided by the author but only told us about your elaborate and pointless wild goose chase, was that being underhand or covering up a silly mistake? Personally, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt 

The photo and the link provided bring you to exactly the same place. Why would I bother typing that out?

Edit: Just to placate you Herr Kristoph....

And it's yet another one that works perfectly as a J.Priest reference too! Not to be confused with J.Priestley, of course *swoon*

If I was less retarded I'd find a picture of The Trve JP dressed head to toe (Head 2 Toe, remember that!?) in black leather S&M gear. But I'm not less retarded,  unfortunately. I'm exactly this retarded.

I just find it pretty amusing over all. Imagine if you and those of your leaning put even half as much time into trying to source, say, the fabricated, socially toxic BS that was being spread in the aftermath of the Nkencho killing as you put into sourcing whether a particular runner-boot existed! Of course, sourcing that toxic BS did genuinely require bending over backwards, reverse google searching, forum scraping, etc., whereas in this case all that was actually required to discover the picture was photoshopped was to click on the image credit link provided by the author as part of the piece.

Yet, correct me if I'm wrong, I don't recall any condemnation of those hidden sources behind the Nkencho xenophobia stoking BS to match this characterization of someone who photoshopped an item of footwear:

a sly underhanded gobshite

Reason to pause for reflection perhaps??

Is that website promoting the nationalist stuff not a bit like the Guaranteed Irish logo anyway? I didn't look at it, just going by the quotes

Emmanuele's on his first rap already I read a few weeks back. Ping!

Some gobshites on the internet being knobs, I doubt they were writing articles for a subscription fee either?

Unfortunately I don't get paid for the education I provide here. More's the pity...

This, and this alone is why you are entrenched firmly in the 1%...

Did anybody see the story about the Galway councillor and the anti-homeless benches? seems like it would go in this thread, as the attempt at PC has caused some offence.

I'm sure the usual contrarian dickheads will defend it even if actual disabled people were offended by it.

I'm actually surprised that someone would be on a bad enough buzz in general to commission benches with the brief that a homeless person can't sleep on them.  Solve the homeless crisis, give em nowhere to sleep! The misery.

Dawkins vs Brendan O Connor, anyone? Great to see Richard standing up for his comments after going to the trouble of making them in the first place. Then again, admitting one was wrong seems like a good trait to have rather than doubling down.

Brendan made him sound like a complete idiot - and fair play to him for that - by insisting that Dawkins give some kind of scientific justification for the claim he made. Which he couldn't do. His own tweets demonstrably increase suffering in the world, so him tweeting is immoral by his own idiotic logic.

[astfgyl]

It was an idiotic tweet he had sent out that time and he had neither the evidence nor the stones to back it up. A right bad doing for Dawkins.
