I just came here to post that

I just came here expecting to see this thread.

But not expecting to see this: he reads like the british nude spock

Where else has he posted? I'm guessing he must be quite hilarious.

The list of banned usernames on ILE mainly consists of spammers, bato sockpuppets, nude spock sockpuppets, people who post direct links to malware and racist trolls.

Do you guys understand multiple layers of irony or just one? I don't think what Darramouss said makes him a racist, since for all we know he could be black. There is such a thing as a joke which prominently features a concept you do not support, the absurdity of which provides the humor (ie. laughing at the ridiculous of the statement). If you don't understand, try watching Conan O'Brien.

― Scorpion Tea (Dick Butkus), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 04:43 (eighteen years ago)

No need to be condescending.

did you happen to watch the episode of oprah in which dave chappelle's just come back from his africa? there's a bit where he's talking about the 'pixie sketch' that i think is very appropriate here:

chappelle explained how during the filming of a certain racially-charged bit (about a 'race pixie' that compels people to act in stereotypical ways) he was distracted by mocking laughter from a white crew-member. he said it was the first time he noticed people laughing at him rather than with him and that it really shook him.

this strikes me as kind of similar. i don't doubt that it's possible to find the particular image funny and ironic (tho i don't), even without dragging race into the equation. but it's damnably hard to make that claim when somebody suddenly bursts into blackface character.

to be fair i'm not offended, but i find it sort of skeevy to imageflood the subsequent thread with a series of 'pokey-pokey-you-offended-yet?'.jpgs. i'm reminded of the first time i said 'damn' in front of my mother. she flipped out and started screaming. because i realized i'd crossed some bad line, i figured it'd be better to prove swearing was no big deal worth punishing, so i told her that i "swore all the time, even including saying crap and shoot and dang" which netted me an ass-kicking instead of the 'ahh, he's mature enough to handle cuss-words' speech i expected. likewise, trying to cover up a gaffe by diluting its potency with other, lesser, subsequent gaffes doesn't do anything but draw more negative attention to the initial offense.

so give it a break and leave it alone and hopefully nobody'll have to get banned.

― rems (x Jeremy), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 05:44 (eighteen years ago)

weirdly, the 'race pixie' bit came on while i was writing this and i had to stop and watch it. it was funny!

― rems (x Jeremy), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 05:45 (eighteen years ago)

The humor of the initial joke, which went right over heads, apparently, is the expression on the newscaster's face. It is as if he is thinking either:

A) "Holy shit, I'm busted!"
B) "Oh shit, close enough!" Since there is a running truth/joke about black guys getting unfairly accused/harrassed by police all the time just because they kind of look like another black guy who did something a few blocks away.

Darramouss probably made the joke because his expression does resemble one of, "Oh shit, whitey gonna lynch me!" which is no more racist than if some black comic said the same damn thing, which is highly probable.

― Scorpion Tea (Dick Butkus), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 06:03 (eighteen years ago)

Plus there is also the absurdity of the sheer possibility of a news reporter reporting some crime he himself committed, completely regardless of any race issues whatsoever.

― Scorpion Tea (Dick Butkus), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 06:06 (eighteen years ago)

Thanks for explaining sub-MADtv joke to us cretins.

No problem. Must be terrible to not get sub-MADtv jokes.

Keep looking at ILX, then, Petronius. Although, actually, it's Donald Duck.

― Scorpion Tea (Dick Butkus), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 06:33 (eighteen years ago)

i don't find that picture offensive but it is sort of funny. darramous is just sort of predictable and not that offensive, either. you all are being played.

Would someone be so kind as to provide a link so we know what the hell you're all talking about?

I have no qualms about banning him.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 09:47 (eighteen years ago)

This brotha looks SCARED

Ban Dick Butkus while you're at it. (I don't think Darramouss has done enough on this thread to justify banning though, even if he did suggest I was one of the most loathsome people on British television (?) apropos of pretty much nothing on another thread)

Fuck it, I've banned him. If any non-trolls want to make an argument for while lame blackface caricaturing is acceptable, or why ILE will otherwise be the poorer for his absence, I'll listen.

Other mods can reverse it if they want but I'm not comfortable with letting this one slip by.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 11:03 (eighteen years ago)

while = why

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 11:03 (eighteen years ago)

He seemed ok on ILG. I think ILE does bad things to people.

I'd vote "wrist slap and tell him to stop acting the cunt" but fuck it, it's not my job to moderate.

― ONIMO ph34rz teh NOIZE (GerryNemo), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 11:07 (eighteen years ago)

Agree with Onimo. He was yellowcarded on ILG for minor mod sass, but other than that, he's fine over there. But ILE does indeed do strange things to people. Though he's certainly no worse than our current crop of resident trolls.
Also, attitudes to new posters on ILE are often dismissive and/or intimidating, which n00bs probably find rather frustrating.

Final point: if he's banned, there'll be no ongoing ILE hate campaign, and we will surely all fall apart.

Incidentally, is there any way to do a search by username using Google? As I'm finding it hard to trace the path of unseemly drunken invective I vaguely recall leaving last night.

Never heard of Glass Houses, but let's ban him anyway.

Darramouss seems to use the word 'cunt' almost as much as noodle-vague. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before we get some hilarious "I'm so fucking drunk" posts too

Darra & Gzeus have done plenty of yellowcardable offenses over at ILG, which JW, dan perry, and Tombot can tell you about, but nothing worth overt banning, yet.

I see right through Darramouss' tough guy act! This is nothing more than a Lemmy Kilmeisterish "take me the way I am" shtick with a Norm MacDonald "I'm just being silly, wink wink" "fuck you" shtick.

He just received a slap on the wrists and he doesn't appreciate it. It's not so hard to see why his response is what it is, is it? You expect a character like this to come back with his tail between his legs?

I can type period.
Writing is like a 5 year old who didn't study.
All I know is I often type the same mistakes as I write, but it's alot faster, easier on the brain(headaches from writing) and I can fix the mistakes more easily.

In any case, typos have nothing to do with literacy. it's a TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR.

And yes, I do have aspergers.
I've made my point.

There seems to be no more misunderstanding as to what my point was, and i no longer have anything to say if that is the case.
I do find it strange that it took me writing a blamed DISSERTATION on this to get people to understand that comparison is a good way of determining the value of something...

Even SUCK is a relative term! In Brazil, the Master System DOESN'T COME SLOSE TO SUCKING. It RULES there.
Here, it's basically POINTLESS.
I'm NOT going into why. Wiki it.
Point HERE is that comparing GOOD and BAD things is a good way to see how much BETTER or WORSE they are.

Just saying "That's STUPID because...IT'S STUPID!" Isn't productive.
Neither is "That's stupid because...I don't like it!" or "...it's difficult!" Not good enough.
Relative terms need a baseline.
Mine in this case is CT.
Your might be different.
So what?
you know what they say about opinions and assholes...they're both all over ILX.

Requisite thread exit insult:
TOMBOT, you are an angry angry douche of a manchild.
That, my good man is turnabout. Fair play, and true.
I no longer feel any need to use any level of tact with you.
"My thread!"
Public forum.
Too bad, so sad.
I weep the tears of a crocodillian while I draw a bow across the globe's most liliputian chordophone.

Feel free to express your opinions about the subject I ever post a thread about. If you act the same, expect a simple report to a mod, as you're worth no more of a my time.
