Amy Winehouse...

[Wor Horse]

That's what you get for being a nigger.

 

BANHAMMER.

[moof]

Wtf, is that meant to be some sort of joke? Captain I think you need to explain yourself.

[King Gheedorah]

Nothing surprises me on TLW these days..

 

I even scoured for a suitable gif but had to let go.

 

Damn you Captain!

 

PS: did the Captain get fraped or something? or is that only used when it happens in facebook?

[Captain]

I reckon 'Captain' will be banned for that unless he pulls a curveball of an excuse.

 

We'll see. I asked for an explanation both on the forum and on PM last time around and got useless replies. Seeing as Ms. Winehouse is white, we'll see.

[rondeco]

Is Captain using the death of someone to make a point?

[Welsh]

Good riddance you smack head.

 

Shame we'll have to listen to that fucking awful Valerie track now though.

There is a twist? great.

[Trumo]

I can only guess that it was a dunderheaded reference to the title of her most successful album. Painfully unfunny though.

So you are checking whether hypocrisy is alive and kicking on TLW?

[Guest Jon Snow]

Some sick fucks on this forum with these kinda jokes first about kids dieing now about a 20 something female.

 

Class , lets all clap them at how smart they are.

You seem alot cooler on the telly.

[Anubis]

Not a surprise, really. Shame to see all that talent get wasted. Her ex(?) husband has a lot to answer for. I'll bet her dad would like 10 mins alone in a room with him.

The day the GF stops dancing on graves is the day I stop using it. If I want crocodile tears I'll log on to Facebook.

He's still a bastard on TV though.

 

Wait, wrong Jon Snow, nevermind.

[Magic Sponge]

She'll be elevated to music legend status.

 

 

She's no Michael Jackson.

[Liverpool lad]

Section knows

Not asking people to write poems just have some respect don't cost anything. I sure the reaction would be different if the context was changed.

[Spy Bee]

I think it's sad. She was very talented, but very haunted. Once drigs got hold of her she never really got out of their grip. Another member of the 27 club, another gone to soon, but I am not really suprsied at all.

I respect people who have had their lives taken from them such as the numerous people in Norway, not some crack fiend who chose to fuck her life up.

They're just trying to impress one another in a sad schoolboy kinda way. The worst thing about it is that none of it is funny. The 'jokes' on here are just nasty, humourless comments.

[Bobby Hundreds]

I need to go out and buy a stuffed E.T.

[Strontium]

I reckon 'Captain' will be banned for that unless he pulls a curveball of an excuse.

 

 

"Asian rat" and "Jewish dog" were permitted, and they were specifically aimed at other people on the forum. In that context, I don't see why an epithet aimed at nobody in particular should be banworthy.

You know what, you are bang on there. I like dark jokes, I like alternative humour that some may find offensive, I'd even say that there is probably nothing so taboo that there isn't a time and a place to laugh at it.

 

I also quite like people defying the general consensus, someone being willing to stand up and say "Actually, I don't agree!", and that is how these kind of things used to be. I'd say that is on the GF and then on popular social media, but something has changed.

 

Yesterday some sad manc shithouse on Twitter posted that citizens of Liverpool would be desperately trying to get their town twinned with Oslo so that they could have a huge outpouring of grief (I paraphrase). He was obviously wanting to be the one with the first sick text message, or the first outrageous opinion and he probably succeeded amongst a select group of knobheads.

 

the thing is now, it seems to have gone full circle. It's like a race, but the quality and justification of the joke don't seem to matter. It doesn't have to be a considered opinion, it's just the first one to the finish line - the fastest finger first!

 

I have no respect for someone beating the stopwatch alone. There needs to be some substance to what they are saying. Some depth.

 

Charlie Brooker is an example of what to do, for examples of what not to do, just search Twitter with the words "winehouse" and "lol".

At least she wasn't a boring little turd , she had talent you've got a keyboard.
