Wavey Davey 0 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 taken from dailymail.co.uk (Here and scroll to the bottom) According to a survey, children are able to identify a Dalek, but not a Magpie. Strange that. One is an evil organism from an aggressive race of mutants that thrives on violence, speaks in a rasping staccato and is driven by hate. And so is the other.

ewerk 31596 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 (edited) He's just one of the many no-talent hacks these days who have nothing insightful or original to offer so instead try to be deliberately controversial to get a rise from their targets, lowest form of journalism.

He'd be hung from the nearest lamp post! But surely this is a form of racism? I mean if he'd said (for example) "According to a survey, children are able to identify a Dalek, but not a Muslim. Strange that. One is an evil organism from an aggressive race of mutants that thrives on violence, speaks in a rasping staccato and is driven by hate. And so is the other." Where's the difference? Both are slurs against a person's ethnic background. (By the way, before some numbwit jumps on my example it IS just that, an example). I'm not saying it's going to have the same level of upset to everyone but the principle is the same, obviously it's supposed to be a 'joke' on the paper's part but it's a very poor one really.

He'd be hung from the nearest lamp post! That's why people hate whining scousers. The only part of me offended by this is my sense of humour.

Well it's vaguely funny, and not a big deal IMO, but you're completely right that if it had been aimed at other groups then they would have gone APE over it. But that's hypocrisy Britain for you.

Yep, that's pretty much what I was trying to say. I mean on a personal note it's not something that bothers me a great deal, it's the hypocrisy that annoys me more.
