Should i run this banner? - Page 2

Mark, you are either being a twot on purpose, or you are trolling. Isn't that the same thing?

Good job on trolling. Give the log on back to the Greek when you are done.

Robert Plomp · September 6, 2002, 04:08

Markos, don't run that banner.
It's really a no-go.

Why not? Because millions died during World War II,
and that's in fact not a topic to make fun about.
OBL is a nice boy compared to hitler. He only killed a few thousands.

and of course it's not hitler, but it's someone pretending to be hitler. I pherhaps this person tries to make a parody or whatever, but the parody is not complete. It's for 90% of the people just a picture of hitler with the text 'this is not hitler' next to it.

You really should not do it.
I'm really serious about that.

Asher · September 6, 2002, 04:09

Markos is Greek, nye.
There's a reason that empire fell.

MarkG · September 6, 2002, 04:13

well it seems that those disagreeing havent seen the film

which is really a pitty....

notyoueither · September 6, 2002, 04:17

I've seen the film Mark. It lost it's comedic value in 1938 or 39 or 42, depending on where you live.

I am very surprised that this needs to be explained.

Zoid · September 6, 2002, 04:18

Jeezus, a lot of PC police here...

Markos, go with the banner. Ignore the whiners! After all the Anti Defamation Leauge hasn´t a chapter in Greece, right?

Asher · September 6, 2002, 04:19

If Markos puts this in circulation I hope he includes the strapon ones I emailed to him

notyoueither · September 6, 2002, 04:21

Right comrade! Let's show Uncle Joe in the next one and see how those from Eastern Europe react...

nye, the only thing that´s lost here is your sense of humour and perspective.

notyoueither · September 6, 2002, 04:22

There is nothing funny about 10 million and more dead people. Understand?

Asher · September 6, 2002, 04:23

Kamrat, a lot of people out there had relatives who died because of Hitler

It's just not something you want to be joking about. Whether you find it funny or not isn't relevant, what you need is perspective, not nye...

A likness of Uncle Joe you mean, like in the australian comedy "Children of the revolution?" (Great movie!)

TheStinger · September 6, 2002, 04:25

I'm offended by Charlie Chaplin so no you shouldn't run it

notyoueither · September 6, 2002, 04:25

Kamrat, then you laugh at millions of dead?

and that's oK?

MarkG · September 6, 2002, 04:27

the film was released in 1940
and it's not comedy in the sense of the Naked Gun series, it's satire, it's condemnation.

and it talks about the oppresion of the jews! the holocaust only proved the film to be correct on it's message, on it's warning

You´re right I don´t need nye

Humour is a subjective matter, you and nye would know this if you had any.

So humour us humourless bastards and don't encourage Markos.

Next thing you know a naked hairy greek guy in his mid-20s will be in the next banner ad, since he's keen on pushing it as far as he can...

No, cause I don´t. I laugh at the satirical portraying of a evil dictator. In "The dictator" in "Children of the revolution" in "South Park" in Roberto Begninis "Life is wonderful" etc, etc.

Sometimes laughing is all you can do.

aaglo · September 6, 2002, 04:33

I think this banner is quite funny really.

Sorry Mark, I see Chaplin doing the salute. What do you see?

I see ... Chaplin holding his fist up in the air

?

I find this statement offensive on behalf of all the hairy greek guys in their tweinties out there...

Asher · September 6, 2002, 04:34

The next banner ad should be Markos bending over, then inbetween little musical notes on the side it should say

Quote:

Give it to me baby, uh huh uh huh
Give it to me baby, uh huh uh huh

then

Quote:

Buy Apolyton!

Mark. It is offensive. I don't care what justifications you jump through. I don't find it funny.

btw, 1940 was when Chaplin and America were still safe and sound. Did he or anyone make another like it in 42 or later; or most importantly, after the horrible truth was known? No.

You may want to yank chains from time to time. That's fine. I am a n00b as far as these things go, but I expected better of you.

Zoid · September 6, 2002, 04:39

Ash, why not put in a big naked black man and change the text to "Buy Apolyton or the greek gets it in the ass"

And stop agreeing with me, it ruins the angry mood

Why would people buy things if they know Markos will enjoy the outcome? People will buy things if they know something will happen that Markos doesn't like...

At least I´m not a knee-jerk PC police

It must be hard to walk with that big stick up your ass.

so you DO find Chaplin offensive
fine...

When America was trying to ignore fascism, Chaplin made a political movie against it

How about "Buy Apolyton or we lock the greek in a room with aussie/canuckPC squad!" ?

notyoueither · September 6, 2002, 04:45

PC? 10 or 20 million dead people and their memory is PC?

Paint me with a PC brush you fooking twot!
