Took me about 3 seconds.

Do I win? I didn't laugh once through the whole video. Then again I worked taking care of people like that so I'm a bit cold when it comes to that kind of 'humor'.

[Magaskawee/Anaei]

Uhm, no. I didn't laugh. I hate to be the wet blanket here, but that's just wrong to post that here. I work constantly with disabled people, and I can't believe i'm taking the moral high ground but get that off this forum, especially with the intent to laugh at them.

[Elízabéth Moren]

I laugh at alot of things, im generally and naturally cruel and evil. But posting somthing like that on a public forum is simply crossing the line and I personally think people laughing at dissabilities is horrible. Someone take that thing off this damned forum...

This post was half inspired by my actual views and half inspired by my male teenage brain yelling at me to agree with the women.

Riiight, I didn't post to begin with cause I knew people would react like this. *facepalm*

Not everything is supposed to be taken seriously.

[Elízabéth Moren]

Well stuff like that doesnt belong on a public forum..

No offense, but don't pull the 'it's all just fun' card. My uncle suffered in the.. I can't think of the drug, it was a drug to relieve pregnancy pains in the 60s, either way he was born with only half of his body fully functional. If I knew lots of people were laughing at him, i'd personally fucking kill them all. Northern IReland style. So yes, not everything should be taken seriously. But this is a very precious time where lines are crossed.

[Elízabéth Moren]

Indeed, certain topics like this are taken seriously, because there is simply nothing funny about them. Like Anaei, my nan is in a wheelchair because she cant walk either, and im sure there are more people on this site with relatives who have disabilites and the likes, so keep videos like that out of this forum.

[Cathee Norris]

I don't take offense personally. I'm quite thick skinned and usually also agree that people take offense too easily. However I can not laugh at disabled people. Cause I know how hard it is for them, and also know that I can become one myself any day. So can anyone else, and could get children like that.

To me it's just a bit meh and uninteresting as considered humor. But yeah, people are bound to take offense. Considering how many people there are on these forums there are probably people that -are- really disabled one way or the other, or has family that is so.

It's not a card I pull. It's a fact since Archal didn't create the thread to insult someone close to you.

Whether it's fun to you or not, is not really up to me, but personally I would -never- use someone from RL as an argument

[Cathee Norris]

I personally think the only ones getting away with making fun of disabled people and other extreme subjects and actually making it fun, is Southpark.

[Ehrfürchtige Bennedict]

I think the line here is, are you laughing at them cause they made a good video where the disabled people make fun of other people, or are you laughing cause the disabled people are disabled?

Are you laughing -AT- them or -WITH- them?

[Guest]

So will you close the thread or is it supposed to be alive for discussion...

[Elízabéth Moren]

I vote for the closure before arguements start...

[Ehrfürchtige Bennedict]

I vote that you´re all too picky bastards who can´t see the hilarious part in this video!

I laughed my ass of due to their parody of other songs

[Guest]

Reactions are making me facepalm. Aw well, I had a good laugh, mostly because of the WTF factor.

I like WTF factors.

This vid was hilarious. Maybe not when you actually get what they're singing. But then again, who cares for the swedish? :3

#$%^&*( *NERDRAGEZ* ;D

[Magaskawee/Anaei]

Seconded.

[Elízabéth Moren]

Erm... Thirded?

[Cathee Norris]

Anyway I'm locking it before it even begins to turn into flame-wars. I guess it's an honest 'mistake', but people will take offense whether it is stupid to do so or not.
