Embarrassing blunder...

What's Hot
BucketBucket Frets: 7751
As a special treat for my girlfriend, I went into Boots today and cold-bloodedly executed fourteen innocent shoppers.

Turns out I misheard and she actually wanted Valentine's Day mascara...

    Some girls get turned on by insane violence so you should still be all right.

    14 people shopping in Boots? That must be a hefty proportion of their remaining customer base.

    If you ever see 14 people shopping in Boots.... my wife will be at least 10 of them.

    Some weeks, it's seems to be where all our money goes!

    To be fair wasn’t this posted before what happened in America?

    I posted this before anything had happened in America. Or certainly before I knew anything about it. I hope you have more faith in me than to think I would have posted it after I knew about what was happening in America.

    Although I suppose I should have thought to myself "Hmm... it's been over 48 hours since the last mass shooting in America, I should be careful because we're due another any time soon..."

    Why should I? I posted it in totally good faith, having no knowledge of some piece of shit going on a killing spree in America, and I have made sure this is clear. Plenty of other people have found it amusing and no-one else has expressed any offence at it.

    And I don't have the option to delete it anyway. The mods do, and I assume they will if enough people flag it. I'm not aware of anyone having complained about it other than you. Probably because most people are able to accept I posted it before the shooting became known.

    These mass shootings, depressingly, are a very regular occurrence in America. Does that mean it's NEVER ok to make the joke I made? Statistically, there will have been a similar incident no more than a couple of days previously, or afterwards. I assume this means that the joke is off limits as far as you're concerned, and then you could argue it's a slippery slope - what else is off limits?

  • Morning Conner,  

    I haven't flagged this, and Im not complaining as such, just pointing out the lack of humour.  I saw this post yesterday (Saturday) and can see its dated the 14th, the same day as the shooting, therefore from my perspective it wasn't unreasonable to link the two.  I fully accept it was an unfortunate coincidence and unrelated.  I also assumed you had the ability to edit posts you had made and will accept that you cant.

    Your right that the incidence of shootings in America is atrocious, I read there had been 8 shootings in schools since the start of the year, more than one per week, just in schools, so yes, no more than a few days will ever pass between them.  Why the American public and politicians cannot see that a ban is needed is beyond me.

    I actually dont think that any subject is off topic for jokes.  I have a very liberal view point on most things, I just didn't think it was funny.

    No offence meant.   You have my apologies.

    R

    The fuck? This was great! Obviously nothing to do with what happened in America, why bring it up?

    I thought it was funny!
     so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.
