What could possibly go wrong?

Thinking that about the Hampshire score right now…

Don’t you have to die to get a Darwin Award?

Wasn’t intending for this to be that dark, mush!

Amazing, simply amazing! Hampshire, Hampshire, hampshire… body swerving the thread!

Not strictly true Papster. Read the award for the three bikini clad rafters…

But quite a few of them are very funny & love their tagline:

Darwin Awards. Chlorinating the gene pool

This was pretty terrifying to watch last night. Took the shine of Eminem’s set. I genuinely thought I would witness someone die.

Young Conservatives somewhere.

“We need a movement like Momentum! As part of that effort, let’s set up a donor site where we list the top donors!”.

What could possibly go wrong?

Your link seems to be messed up, @pap .

It possibly went wrong.

Just realised, @pap has basically stolen this thread idea.

But, whatever.

Any way, what could possibly go wrong with this shit idea?

Four carnival-goers are being investigated by police after they ‘blacked-up to look like a Jamaican bobsleigh team’.

The four men covered themselves in black body paint and Lycra bodysuits to dress up as characters from Cool Runnings at Aberaeron Carnival in West Wales.

Before someone starts misrepresenting my posts (again), I don’t think they should be arrested. But you are either a complete twat or a complete idiot (or a combination of both) if you blackface.

You are my wife now, Dave.

The exact same thing happened at a Lymington charity fancy dress event a year or two ago and on the back of a single letter of complaint from the town busybody (who didn’t attend the event) to the local free rag, the whole story went national … articles in the national media, tv debates and threats of police investigation

Now I fully understand that racism is a touchy subject and rightly so. It’s an ignorant outlook, out of kilter with modern values. However, I was at the event briefly and know a couple of the ‘culprits’ who are far from idiots, a bit closer to twats mebbe and certainly not racist.

Lymington could never be described as a hubbub of multi culturism but generally the townsfolk are an easygoing, liberal lot (and very ‘right on’) The theme for the event was sports teams and they came up with the bobsleigh idea for it’s quirkyness and being a bit different. Which is exactly how it was received on the day. They put a lot of effort in, everyone had a good laugh and it was voted the best costume. It never occured to anyone that it might be seen as having racist conotations until the papers broke the non-story and why should it ? It was an inventive and harmless comedy caper and all very innocent. It’s a sad day when that’s not allowed.

People need to chill a bit*, live and let live if it’s not hurting anyone.
