I know no society is perfect, however as I have stated before, yours is one of the more enlightened on this planet Amongst all the tragedy in the world, this past episode may have escaped your attention: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quebec_City_mosque_shooting The Quebec City mosque shooting (French: Attentat de la grande mosquée de Québec) was a terrorist attack by 27-year-old Alexandre Bissonnette on the evening of January 29, 2017, at the Islamic Cultural Centre of Quebec City, a mosque in the Sainte-Foy neighbourhood of Quebec City, Canada. Six worshippers were killed and five others seriously injured after evening prayers when a man entered the prayer hall shortly before 8:00 pm and opened fire for about two minutes with a 9mm Glock pistol.[1] Approximately 40 people were reported present at the time of the shooting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuckin_futz Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Pusha T says he didn't get paid enough for writing iconic McDonald's jingle. So he made a diss track with Arby's. Pusha T wrote McDonald's now-famous jingle in the early 2000s while trying to make it as an up-and-coming rapper, he claimed in a recent interview, but he says he didn't get paid enough for it. Two decades later, he just dropped a diss track revealing that - ba da ba ba ba - he's still not lovin' it. On Monday, Pusha T teamed up with one of McDonald's competitors to release "Spicy Fish Diss Track." The 1:15-minute song, which had racked up more than 3.8 million views on his Twitter account as of Tuesday morning, hypes Arby's new Spicy Fish Sandwich while attacking the McDonald's classic Filet-O-Fish. "I'm the reason the whole world love it, now I gotta crush it," Pusha T raps before comparing the McDonald's fish sandwich to feces. "You should be disgusted. How dare you sell a square fish asking us to trust it. A half slice of cheese, Mickey Ds on a budget?" https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/pusha-t-says-didnt-paid-120044841.html ******************* Diss track with Arby's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes...I was trying to recall what Shawshank went against and whether it won..was fairly sure didn't. Shawshank is the best movie ever made imo.

Fun fact - In the book "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption" the character Andy Dufresne was short, a little pudgy with small hands. The exact opposite of Tim Robbins who played him in the movie. Edited March 28, 2022 by nuckin_futz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps. But then you get into the issue of what is 'offensive'. And maybe people who take exception to a 'joke' should restrict themselves to booing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you're going to make cracks about someone's medical condition in order to get cheap laughs then you're going to have to reap the consequences of your actions. Chris Rock has made several distasteful 'jokes' about the Smiths in the past and gotten away with it....sooner or later....and last night was later....you're going to have to take some responsibility for it..I'm on Team Smith for this. Make a distasteful joke at the expense of a loved one and there should be consequences.... Chris Rock was NOT funny, he was a pig and got what he deserved. The fact that he's not pressing charges makes it obvious that he KNOWS he crossed the line big time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if any society should somehow deem it as acceptable, I don't want to be a part of this society. Seems to me you are talking about being offended.

Perhaps it's time that 'comedians' take a look at some of the stuff they're spewing in the name of 'jokes' and comedy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Things must be tense in the Smith household. Yikes. No jokey-joke allowed. I thought Will Smith was supposed to be funny, once. Considering there were millions of people watching (and a lot of them children), Smith's reaction was pretty disgusting. He was trying to be valiant in front of his wife, but he could've handled it a lot better, like shouting back "We're going to talk about this after Chris". Maybe Rock would've shut up. Keep it private. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
