Can we change tack from the old misogynist jokes please ?  It's 2024, not 1974.  We've had a picture of a woman being called a fat cunt (in effect) - I'm sure whoever she is she didn't agree to be turned into an internet joke.

Nope, coincidence its a woman and would have been equally funny if it was ruth from bristol with a picture of her (fat) husband. If you are offended, your problem.  

Would you feel the same if it was a picture of you they'd used?

id find it funnier is the honest answer. 

If you are suggesting that any joke picture on here with an unknown to forum face , plastered all over the internet anyway,  is somehow bad form, i disagree.

If you are sticking up for empfab, i would suggest that use of his words not quoted above and suggesting that is what i may graduate into, is far more insulting than the joke i posted. Im not a misogynist, nor a racist.  That said not complaining, its up to mods to make judgements on content and touchwood.. not a whisper of complaints in my 2.5 yrs here thus far.

 Managing a team and working in a 90% female environment, i hear much worse jokes about their spouses on a daily basis, which i also find funny.

The “fact hunt” joke is tediously old anyway (there’s the panel gameshow quiz thing at the end of the year which has run for years…I want to say Jimmy Carr presents it?)

Then we'll leave it there. I think picking on strangers - who are real people - and making them the butt of a joke is wrong. You think it's fine.

Time you had a sense of humour transplant I fear.

Time you realised that your sense of humour died in the late 1970's.

Why the fuck would anyone want a transplant so they could find jokes about women, mothers-in-law and 'P*kis' funny ?

I don't think anyone has made jokes about 'P*kis'.  Calm down.

No indeed they didn't, but that's the mould they came from.  Because people have comparatively got their shit together with regard to racist jokes doesn't mean they've managed it with the misogynist jokes.  Clearly they haven't from the ones here.

But here's the thing.....  It wasn't was it?  It was a picture of a real woman who having a normal photo taken in her home.  Someone decided it would be funny to put her personal photo into a meme calling her a fat cunt and distribute it around the world.  Posting it here is just perpetuating the abuse of a stranger. 

>If you are offended, your problem. 

What about her being offended ?

No idea.  I don't know who she is, but I imagine she would be if she saw it don't you?  Do you know many women that would laugh at being called a fat cunt ?

Emp takes offence on others behalf shocker. 

I think everyone needs to just calm down and watch some Ricky Gervais

32 new entries on the humour thread.  I thought "That's good.  There will be something funny."  How wrong I was.

I was going to suggest editing the original post to replace the picture with one of Bernard Manning.
