This joke has just been told in the chat room and when a couple of people said it was offensive the teller was defended by several of the regulars in there.
" santa flying over thailand on christmas eve, he looks down and sees all the people waiting for him,,, he turns to his head elf and says,,, im just so tired what am i going to give all those people for christmas, the elf thinks about it and says,,,,, dont worry santa, just give them a wave that will be enough !!!!!!! Bad i know
gets ready for the abuse !!! "
The joke seemed bad enough, but some people's defence of it on the grounds of "humour" seemed even worse.
Is it me????

Is this joke sick, or is it just me?

People will ALWAYS make jokes out of a bad situation. Its a fact of life.
I don't think this is funny, to me it is offensive but we have to accept it will happen.
Maybe you just found out who you wouldn't want to meet for fun
Dawn :silly:
Why do we have to accept it?
Laugh at a racist gag and you propagate you dont think its funny and the racist p***k might think twice about telling the gag again.
Sorry real pet hate of mine.
Rant over.

Very distasteful.
People will always do that; as someone has said, it's a way of dealing with it. You can't get rid of everyone who says something you find distasteful though, you just have to ignore them. If enough people do that, they stop.

Because I won't spend my time arguing about everything I read or hear that I don't like, from people that I never have to talk to again
I would prefer to be a twat on some other post
Dawn :silly:
herd better and worse ones than that,think text messageing has something to do with rapid spread of such jokes 
: today.people will find humor in everything good or bad, what some may think is funny is distaste full to others,
where all diffrent thats why the world is so interesting its all a matter of taste, and political correctness for better or worse
Quote by Rainbows
Libra Love may or may not agree with me - but coming from the southern hemisphere I am pretty used to sick, tasteless jokes after a tragedy. I read somewhere (after Sept 11th) that it can help some people deal with it better.
Yip I agree. You eventually learn to ignore it if it's not to your taste.
do we need to draw aline, if it aint funny to you don,t laugh Quote by Lazeeboy
Ok so where do we draw the line then?
Holocaust?
9/11?
Does time dim the memory?
Are gas chamber gags funny 60 years later?
ILb :love:
To some people yes, and therin lies the answer on where to draw the line. Keep the jokes to yourself, or those who don`t mind hearing it. Not in a chatroom.

LB, if people find something distasteful or sick in the chatroom, they DO tell the person that said it. People have been booted for some things they've said that were distasteful/sick

LB, people spouting lame jokes about a tragedy they are not equipped to deal thinking about, is very different to Hitler`s build up to the Holocaust. I don`t like shit jokes spouted in front of me, and neither do you, or many others. People who find they need to do this should take this on board.

Yes after every tragedy sick jokes start doing the rounds but it still doesn't make them acceptable or funny. Imagine of one of your loved ones was involved in a terrible tragedy such as the tsunami then you heard someone in the pub laughing at a joke about it. Nope, my sense of humour may be a little dry at times but I don't laugh at others misfortune.

I think that's what made me cross, that it was in an open chat room with no consideration to the audience.
The most annoying thing was the people who defended it once several chatters had said they found it distasteful. To suggest that you don't have a sense of humour because you find that joke distasteful seems to me to be a pretty low mentality.
Quote by VenusnMars
Probably not the most appropriate place to admit you found it funny either at the mo Sarge :shock: :shock: :shock:
Hope you have your bunker ready!

I think whether you find it funny or not is a personal thing. It's a different matter to force the joke on a wide and unknown audience though.

I agree, but I can`t speak for everyone else here. This could actually turn out to be a very interesting thread if the discussion focuses upon whether people have the right find it funny, why they choose this approach, and are they evil......
I`ve always wanted to dig around in Sarge`s cranial sawdust :twisted:
But I have to go bath! I`ll see if the thread has descended into anarchy when I get out!

Humour is a personal opinion. Why should we dictate to others what they should think. Sick jokes have been around from day one..........how many laugh at You've Been Framed?
It is still laughing at other peoples expense. Some are more sick than others, but most humour is always at the expense of others.
I agree with the people who said if it is not funny to you.......then don't laugh and walk away. That will tell them what you thought of their humour and they may not say things like that to you again.
But don't tell people what they should find funny.........as it is one of the last things that the goverment has not regulated on us yet.
