RE: that time of the month?
well, i'm saying people shouldn't be so easily offended. fuck 'em! can't take a fookin joke! etc. but seriously, saying it's offensive because it's a generalisation is really
not understanding that "it's a joke".
it's offensive because some people been told that making light of something that should be talked about in all seriousness and without a hint of irony is offensive. what if it was a joke about feeling bloated before your period? would that be ok? or maybe a joke about how crap tampon adverts are on the tv? or is there something particular about mensturation that lifts it above every other thing that humans do and that it just shouldn't be made light of? there's jokes about sex and death and everything in between and outside for a reason.
as for it being ok to take the piss out of sheepshaggers coz i'm welsh ... is the directors only funny because mel brooks is jewish? no, it also something to do with the fact that he's a comedian.
now, where's my inflatible sheep?
.. what? you think i'd knob a real one? ewww ...
