It's like i said, one jack-ass starts, with a snicker, and all of the Good Ole' Boys approve, so the other jack-asses add their little funny shit. So, who decides how far is too far? How long before the waaaaaaaay worse jokes come out?

I'm black and I found the picture to be funny....just back dated as hell. A dreamcast really? That ancient.

People too damn sensitive.....I didn't find the picture racist at all.

Man, I rarely post in the Sandbox. But this is ridiculous. It's a JOKE! It wasn't even a racist joke. Newsflash, you can have jokes involving black people without it being racist. Take the chip off the shoulder. If you don't like the thread, go on to the next one. If you're not offended at least once in the Sandbox you're just not paying attention....

Thanks Jazzer. It just made me think, I've seen all kinds of parodies of Lincoln giving the Gettysburg address. It's been obliquely used as a backdrop for all kinds ads and jokes. Never heard an uproar though. And that was a speech every bit as important as King's "I have a dream" speech.

Agreed. I don't think I've seen one post from Thorough that wasn't grouchy.
Instead of a frown, try a smile on for size.

Someone just wants to see you guys get all excited and defend a position.

My first reaction was SillyGirl posting the Dreamcast image showed a bit of a nerdy side. And I so like a nerdy girl!

Well, that got me told. Now that the Fat Man has weighed in, I guess that i can go on with my day. And if you don't like what i have to say, take your own advice and lumber on to the next thread.

[Sens55]

Wow. Using my own self-efffacing humor against me. That's hreat. Take the easy shot and avoid the real issue. That'll solve everything...

What's even funnier, is that while you were busy at the quote booth, getting your ticket to the Co-Signer Bandwagon, you missed the word "some". There's an exception to every rule. Now that's hella funny ROTFLMAO!! Try being original. Think of something of your own to add. Just one of the many anonymous folks who have nothing to say, but in opposition to someone else. I can respect a man who formulates his own opinions..... A man who is straightforward and has his own mind, although he may be opposed to everything that i favor, he earns a grudging respect. But some slithering snake, hiding among the reeds, slithering out to bite the ankles of the already assailed.... take a lesson from Dirty and Sens55 and grow some nuttz, son.

Did somebody piss in your Natty Light or something?
