And that sir is pretty much my mantra.
But the joke is always that of those 1%, 99% are being offended on another person’s behalf.
Inspired by the conversation in the Breaking News Thread…
WARNING: these jokes are NSFS (not suitable for snowflakes)
What do you do if an epileptic has a fit in the bath?
Throw in your laundry.
What do you call seven epileptics individually wrapped in tin foil?
A packet of Wrigglies.

TBH, what makes that funny, is the idea that you still do your washing in the bath. I’m just trying to work out how to get an epileptic to substitute for a mangle.

Someone will no doubt be offended on behalf of an epileptic sufferer, even though the sufferer will most probably laugh at it.
yeah, nah…
its nearly 2025…these ‘jokes’ are a bit on the nose…
im not sure where the line is, but im pretty sure this is over it…
im no snowflake, or hyper insulted…i just dont like that shit joke about someone with epilepsy
edit, for clarity, im the one who has reported it to the mods…and no, im not going to go back and sift through posts to find other ones just as offensive and crass…
Despite my warning, and my clear statement that it was a joke, some cunt has complained about my post and it has been deleted.
Own up, whoever it was.
So you failed comprehension at school?
it was me.
no, i didnt.
Yeah; saw your mea culpa.
Yet you failed to pick up on the fact that it was a joke?
no, of course i realise it was intended as a joke, the thread title kinda gives that away…
Despite the warning, i still found it offensive.
maybe theres an epilepsy sufferer on here thats not offended by that kind of comment, and whilst im not personally a sufferer of epilepsy, i KNOW it would cause offence.
thats where im at, ive reported it, if the mods are OK with that kind of thing being on thier site with some disclaimer infront of it, thats up to them…
personally, i dont think it passes the ‘pub’ test
Glad to see you attempt to defend your position.
However, your own defence suggests that reporting the post was not justified.
The great Ricky Gervais - “just because you are offended doesn’t mean you are right”. It’s a joke thread.

hence reporting it and leaving it up to the mods.
im sure RG himself didnt make the comment to absolve anyone, anywhere from saying offensive things without some form of responsibility… theres a scene in the original office where he tells the joke about the bread basket…now, Gervais has either absolutely changed his stance (possibility) or theres a suttlety to his point about being offended etc that people are trying to not understand.
anyway…i digress…ive stated why ive reported it, im trying to not sidetrack the thread…lets just see what the Mods decide to do
Ban.
