If you have a fat wife or girlfriend don't worry........

[Newcastle Uni]

So it is ok to make fun of people based on their race, weight, sexual preference, nationality, or their particular fetish? If you believe that there is nothing wrong with this then you need to go back to mum for more training....

Sorry New, but that fact that you see nothing wrong with this shows a blatant disregard for the feelings of others....

So indeed I rest my case and leave it up to others to judge as I move on and merely ignore your posts so as not to stir up trouble......

Be well........

I happen to think that it is more than ok to make fun of people based on their weight, sex, religion, skin colour etc. It is desirabale. So long as there is no malice in the jokes.

In laughter people come together and when a scoiety is tolerant of jokes then that society is less likely to get upset when someone criticises it. This reduces friction overall.

It is a mark of a person that he/she can take a joke about themselves. It is also the mark of a society.

But yes. People get very offended. Thats where the internet is different to everyday life. In everday life you would identifiy people who might be sensitive about certain things and ensure that you don't upset those people. But on the internet things are different.

Newcastle, the kind of mutual ribbing you describe does indeed take place all over America, but only among good friends and amiable co-workers. We don't go around insulting strangers and acquaintances, unless we seriously intend to insult. To cite an oft-quoted example, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin could call each other "wop" and "dago," but God help the outsider who tried it.
I don't see how manners should be different just because we're on the internet, except that the distance and anonymity it confers keeps you from getting knocked on your ass when you lip off.

I did a little collecting of joke snippetts here in the "General Discussion" section that were followed by no big debates or schoolmarm lectures. Note that I found none of these in the "Silly Stuff" Forum, yet could all be called offensive to 'someone' if so desired:

>>>"That's nothing." said the other husband, "Mine came home with a card stuck to her ass that said, "FROM ALL OF US AT THE FIRE STATION, WE'LL NEVER FORGET YOU."<<<
(From a peeing-on-a-fireman's grave joke)

>>>>A fat man goes up to a hot blonde and asks: " Can you help me with, err... "
The blonde answers: " No Frank I'm not getting that cupcake out of your @ss again! "
The fat man replies: " I swear this ones vanilla "<<<<

>>>So the bunny felt the snake all over, and remarked, "Well, you're smooth and slippery, and you have a forked tongue, no backbone and no balls. I'd say you must be either a team leader, supervisor or possibly someone in senior management." <<<<<

>>>>Why are Santa's balls soo big? Cause he only cums once a year .....<<<<

>>>>>The old man replied "Earlier I was pissing on my feet, now after taking viagra I can urinate outside my feet! Viagra is really very good!<<<<<

>>>>The man thought for a long time about what each woman had done with the money he'd given her.
Then, he married the one with the biggest boobs. Men are like that, you know. <<<<<

>>>>>3 blondes have a meeting. They arrive late.
The first blonde says "I'm sorry, I'm late".
The second blonde says "I'm sorry, I'm late too".
The third one says "I'm sorry, I'm late three"<<<<<<

>>>>>Q: How did the dead baby cross the road?
A: Stapled to the back of the chicken.<<<<<

>>>>>A US Marine, cool as a cucumber, picks up his Budweiser and
drinks, throws his bottle into the air, pulls out his M-9 Beretta and
shoots the Mexican and the Iraqi.
He says "In America we have so many Mexicans and
Arabs that we don't need to drink with the same ones twice."<<<<<


Who here DIDN'T take a clue from the title of the thread, and wandered in here completely innocent, not expecting to be offended - raise your hand .....without knocking off the dunce cap. I know the thread title letters on MY screen were pretty clear and didn't come up in Braille (said swirling my head, hand on hip). If we all ever get together for a big TMF swim party at the lake I'm betting it's going to be the one with the "No Swimming - Piranhas" signs.

Here's one I just came up with: How many fat women does it take to screw in a light bulb? We don't know - they keep breaking the ladders!

Now THAT'S a funny fat joke, Newcastle you thieving piker.

 

[venray]

Who here DIDN'T take a clue from the title of the thread, .

Ah and therin lies the point...It was MEANT to offend, not placed in a thread entitled world's worst joke.....like the others...

Either it was meant to offend or posted out of ignorance as I stated earlier....

 

[Oddjob0226]

You guys need a label to tell you that a joke is offensive so you don't read it, event when the title thread is already a very healthy clue? You all must piss on your feet without your Viagra. Viagra is very very good! If a door is marked "possible offensive content", there are one of two outcomes if the door opens.....

It was MEANT to be a joke first and foremost, whether or not offensiveness was an included factor. Dang, the very first posted response was "LOL" (although that's getting really old, and I find that offensive). Something being a joke doesn't guarantee non-offensiveness, nor does it even guarantee humor will be found within it by a majority of the joke's audience. Just like the above joke snippets I posted - half of which were not from the "Worst Joke Ever" thread. Which, by the way (since labels & lectures are a big concern in this thread) would imply a joke that was clumsily performed or of a poor concept, not necessarily offensive.

But I'll go ahead & post Uni's joke in the "Worst Joke Ever" thread since that is where it belongs. And that'll bring that thread back to the top of the forum, and more people will now be exposed to the joke! Sweet, sweet victory.

 

[Mimi]

No, Ray was implying that is where this joke belonged in the first place. To leave this joke as it's own self standing thread, AND post it again in the Worst Joke thread would be duplicating the post, and hence would be considered spamming the forum. And that's against our rules. 😉

 

[Oddjob0226]

And that's against our rules. 😉

We're invoking the rules now!? Great - if we're doing that, I guess my joke about the donkey and the 15-year-old hooker goes down the drain .......


Now I'm wishing my grandma never told it to me.

 

[Cav88]

I bet race is off limits there.

 

[NAYA]

Reminds me of something I told one of my friends. She had put on some weight since she got married & she was bitching to me that her husband was bitching about the weight gain. I told her to get on the treadmill.

I explained that men & women have different priorities. She wouldn't stay with him if he wouldn't keep a job so why should he stay supporting her if she was just going to lay around the house all day getting fat. Needless to say, she got a gym membership & got herself back in shape. Common sense hurts sometimes.

 

[venray]

Jokes are jokes....offensive behavior is another matter...the last 2 supposed jokes posted by Uni were normal sounding topics....this one and the I recently came into money one along with other posts of similar types...I dont take one post as offensive behavior but look at the history of the poster....


This was meant to shock and offfend, OJ..that is the style of the poster here...

If you find such things funny more power to you.....I have no problem with sick and twisted senses of humor..Mine is more twisted than most....but I dont post with the sole intent to hurt others feelings...

Upon reading the title of this thread I was offended up front not because of the joke within....Had it been labled as such I would have read it thought little of he who posted it and moved on without commenting....since I feel it was designed for "shock" value so to speak, I felt it necesary to express my own opinion of the poster and the thread..

I have done so and now will finally move on and let both be judged for what they are...nothing more will come of debate here as those who care not for the feelings of others will not have their opinions swayed any more than those that do care will.....

Why would you thing that - are you Polish?

Misery sure loves company on this forum. I thought it was a good joke. Life can be tough. That is why it is survival of the FITTEST. 😀

 

[Darth Vegeta]

hmm

Well unlike a lot of people i don't really mind women being a bit... well... you know. As long as they're sweet and kind.
Besides... cuddly has it's advantages.
Off course one should not allow ones g/f to be TOO overweight but not for appearance but health reasons. If one is TOO overweight she should slim down a bit for her own health not just because you want to date some kind of supermodel. (personally i think most supermodels are ugly)

If she was sitting around the house getting fat while having HIS babies, it's her job to get that way! Silly me, I thought marriage was about unconditional love, not whether your spouse was fat or thin.

Hey, thanks for setting me straight on that one.

 

[maniactickler]

An interesting mix of responses here. I think the joke is pretty damned funny. Not my joke though. But I think jokes about fat women are hilarious. They are probably the funniest genre of jokes in my opinion. I LOVED the jokes about fat women in Married With Children.

Why would people get offended? Fat can be sexy, beautiful, stimulating and wonderful. I don't like very fat women, but women with a bit of meat on their bones are great! At the same time I like skinny women as well (you fatties love to criticise skinnies as though its somehow more acceptable to criticise skinnies than fatties).

I think fat women are fair game. Bring on the fat jokes. I'll start you off...

I have to agree with that one point of it being no biggie when a skinny person is made fun of. thats acceptable, but pick on an overweight person and the fireworks start. double standard i say.

 

[isabeau]

thats true , maniac, in high school i was very little, skinny even only weighing 89lbs. and it hurt when i was called things like chicken legs and even the word skinny hurt me. so telling skinny jokes can be as hurtful as overweight jokes. imo

[Mimi]

I'm of the opinion NO ONE should be made fun of for their appearance...whether it be fat or too skinny or glasses or big nose or braces or any other number of things. Looks don't make the person, nor does being a good looking individual make you a better person, or vice versa. It's purely immature, IMO.

 

[isabeau]

i agree one hundred percent Mimi, and did i ever tell you what an absolute doll you are and what a cute couple you and Lazarus make?

All I can say is Trimspa. Look at Anna Nicole Smith.

Well, this looks like a really thoughtful comment. Hopefully this isn't all you can say because you haven't said nearly enough!

There are some of us who cannot or will not take pills. A lot of that GNC crap contains ephedra. I can't take it at all-it gives me heart palpitations.

Also, if you really believe that all she did was take a pill to lose that weight, you're deluding yourself. I can smell a con from a mile away, and she's full of s**t! She's just a spokesperson and probably has never taken the stuff in her life. It wouldn't be the first time she pimped someone in the name of money, would it?

Besides, she's skinny, but she looks old and unhealthy. I also heard somewhere the brain is composed of fat cells, I can see where she lost the most weight.

Amen sista'!!

I know a lot of attractive jackasses, and I know a lot of not-so-attractive kings and queens. People base way too much on looks and not what should be most attractive in a person and that's their heart.

I'll deal with someone who's less than attractive if they can treat me like the queen I deserve to be. I could do it in a New York minute!!!

Fittest of what? What represents fit? Does a skinny body truly represent fitness. If that's the case, please explain the number of skinny bodies in the cemetary? They were fit, yet just as dead!

 

[BigJim]

Oh sure....I'll start walking 5 miles a day as you suggest. But I'm taking the house keys, your car keys, your wallet, and the check book with me. And when I return a few months and several hundred miles later - leaner, wiser, and more sexy (in your opinion) - I'm bringing my new, hunky, put-your-lame-ass-to-shame boyfriend with me to take whatever is left. 😉 😛

Offended? Pshaw.

Mimi

I think replying in the spirit of the originating post is far more effective (not to mention less disharmonious).

 

[german]

There is anything wrong being fat large what ever you want to call it, if and only if the individual is happy with themselves.

But if there not happy, instead of bitching over a joke on a internet forum get out and do something about it, pills arent the only option, diet, meal sizes, you dont have to the gym just a walk here and there. It makes a huge diff.

But saying that it depends on the person if they are happy there is no drama.
