uhh, yeah. he culls pictures of people without their permission and write degrading captions about them.
i know the fact that it's so stupid is part of the way they market themselves, but the fact remains that the entire site is based around degrading overweight people, homosexuals, and women.
I guess if you're priviledged enough not to be a member of any of those three groups, you can find horseshit like that "rolling on the floor hilarious."
Whether the pictures are staged or not, or the people in them are aware that they're on the site or not, the fact remains that this guy is making money off of the most brainless "humor" there is. As someone who was overweight in my younger days, you don't really get over things like that. You're pretty much expected to roll with the punches, after all you brought it upon yourself right?
And as the resident "FAG0T," I need not remind anyone that crap like that breeds hate crimes.
What gets lost in the volume is that those are PEOPLE in those pictures. Stop laughing like a fucking moron and think about it for a minute. The way they're presented completely dehumanizes them, which makes it easy to laugh at. But every single one of the people on that site have a world that you'll never be privy to. Can you imagine what it would be like to find a picture of yourself on a site like that? Unless you're Jewish, you might not realize the amount of guilt and shame piled upon you for every day you live that you don't look "normal." Being posted for all the world to see...knowing that a picture of you is MAKING MONEY for some fool, would be absolutely revolting.

and this is different from the rest of the media, how? I was just looking at drudgereport.com and he has 2 stories blasting Katie Curic for calling out sick on Tuesday. She's a human too but thats not going to stop people talking about her. What about sites with "naked" pics of celebs that are faked. How is that different?

I'm sorry, but I don't think that webpage is going to make someone already cabable of committing a crime go out and do it. If they're mindset is that low, they're going to do it anyway.

Actually I am jewish, but what does that have to do with anything? How do you know those pics aren't staged? How do you know its not all fake??
I hear Jewish jokes all the time. I hear really horrible jokes about Jewish people...but I still laugh. What good does getting upset do?

If they're laughing, they're just as boneheaded as anyone else. One has to consider the distinct possibility that they're once again, going along with it because everyone else is, and they don't want to be singled out.

You can't possibly be that naive. Words like that, even if they're jokes, make people think its ok to hate gays, or think fat people are lazy and stupid.

You're Jewish, and you've never heard of "Jewish guilt?" That same sense is instilled in every overweight or gay kid from the first time that someone points out to them that they're different. Sites like that reaffirm the notion that you're different, and that's wrong, and you should feel sorry for it.
As you can see if you had re-read my post, I understand that there's a remote possibility that the whole site could be staged. Regardless, as I said before, someone who comes across that site who is a woman, or overweight, or gay, etc. is no less hurt, staged or not.

I don't envy your callousness. I can't imagine being so desensitized to humiliation that I wouldn't be offended if someone started telling gay jokes around me. Do what is right for you, but I would have no self-respect if I just laid down while other people derised me, my race, my sexual orientation, etc.
My point was never that I think the site should be shut down.

Lame, lame, lame. No brow humor. It's a wonder that people who have such good taste in computers (and music, *groverat*) could find that even remotely funny. I'm with poor taylor. Just because it's on t.v. doesn't make it any more acceptable.
Katie Couric chose to be in the spotlight and knows what comes with it. The people on that page didn't. See the difference?
</strong>
Nope, not at all. You don't know if those people in the pictures are actors. How do you know its not staged. You don't.
<strong>

</strong>
Ah, so some overweight person sitting at home laughing at that site is a bonehead? Did you ever think that LAUGHING is a release for people? Some people actually like to poke fun at themselves because it makes them feel better about their shortcomings. Other people obviously just like to feel sorry for themselves all the time. "poor taylor" indeed.
<strong>
Of course I can ignore it. I'm not suggesting that the site should be shut down. I'm saying that anyone who actually enjoys it, in my opinion, is an idiot.

I guess you've NEVER laughed at anyone else's expense EVER. I wish I was as perfect as you.
<strong>

</strong>
"White pride" music does not turn someone into a racist that already isn't one. If I listen to that music it doesn't turn me into a racist all of a sudden. Are you a psychologist? I didn't think so. I guess violent video games are going to make me kill people too. You can't prove that one way or the other...and neither can I.

Who are you to tell me what I should feel sorry for?
You can't possibly think that you won't hurt SOMEONE by ANYTHING you do. There isn't a TV show on the planet that won't offend SOMEONE. Whats the point of bitching about it?
<strong>
I don't envy your callousness. I can't imagine being so desensitized to humiliation that I wouldn't be offended if someone started telling gay jokes around me. Do what is right for you, but I would have no self-respect if I just laid down while other people derised me, my race, my sexual orientation, etc.
</strong>
Its not desensitization, its getting over it. I'm not going to even let something as stupid as a joke bother me. Its not like someone SLAUGHTERED MILLIONS OF MY PEOPLE. A joke is a joke. You're not going to stop people telling them. You can let it bother and get all worked up about it though, go ahead, that will do you a lot of good.
<strong>

</strong>
Yes, some of us enjoy laughing. Sorry if its at other people's expense or even our own expense for those of us that do get laughed at. Some of us feel better after a good laugh. Its better then feeling sorry for ourselves all the time.
I'm sure there's something that you do that offends me, but I'm not going to bitch to you about it, or tell you that you're an "idiot" or a "bonehead" or even tell you that you should feel sorry about it.
Do you eat meat? Do you agree with abortion? Your answer to those questions will offend me greatly. But I don't care and I won't bitch to you about it, because it doesn't matter.
I don't think there's one person on this board who hasn't been laughed at for SOMETHING. Its just words....WORDS. Thats all.
