Roast The media....*Shakes Head* Part 4

[ozph1870]

Its exactly the same. If racist quips are not acceptable (and today they are clearly not) homophobia is not acceptable either. Not saying I know what BT thinks of these things but that's no where nearly good enough from a commentator

really.... homophobia, do you really think that is what he was referring to? words have more than one meaning.

 

[raman]

shouldnt have to.. its obvious.

LOL good argument...

 

[PepeSilvia]

shouldnt have to.. its obvious.

No it's not. What's completely obvious is that people with the mindset of BT and yourself are stuck in the 1970s. That kind of shit is not acceptable in Australia, and rightly so.

 

[PepeSilvia]

Okay, so calling somebody a slang name for a homosexual male because of the way they waved at the crowd isn't homophobic? If the implication wasn't exactly this, what was it?

 

[ozph1870]

LOL good argument...

one is a putdown based purely on race, the other was light hearted ribbing based not on ones sexual preference, but one one being a little soft and carrying on a bit, that is the context he said it in, not sexual preference.

Good ****ing lord that is a load of shit. There is no point in arguing any further with you.

 

[Port81]

Probably in poor taste for TV but i know what he meant, me and my mates use that term a lot in person in the same way BT was...

 

[ozph1870]

fair enough, i concede, sure it is a little shock to sensitive ears and he will cop a bit for it, but i dont think there is much in it, in context that is. have a spell bt.....

Graham Cornes urinal would be more appropriate

Nah he's more suited to a Tom Tit
above the paper roll was written
"for an instant photo of Graham Cornes
tear off one leaflet
wipe to develop"

Haha, how ridiculous.

Tigers aren't even native to South Australia!

 

[PepeSilvia]

Haha, how ridiculous.

Tigers aren't even native to South Australia!

What about Tasmanian Tigers? Surely they're native to SA.

 

[Andy_B]

Yep, he's fooked I reckon.

 

[Andy_B]

Yep, he's fooked I reckon.

yeah once you use a word thats whole design is to disparage a group of people in your work place, your in trouble.
doesn't matter if its race, sexual orientation or gender.

also doesn't matter if the original target is offended or not. if someone near by hears & is offended......you going to HR

 

[StrappingTape]

Yeah and you dont get sacked. You will get a warning or sent to political correctness school but thats about it unless you have a demonstratable history of said action. People need to stop freaking out over trivial shit like this, I have just dodged a days media on razor ray calling his earpiece noise ******ed now this. surely theres something important to talk about

If you can think of a better way to get BT off the air, I'd like to hear it.

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

BT should have to attend the sydney mardi gras with harry

 

[*PAF]

He should be sacked.





For being a fat controller.

 

[*PAF]

Meh.
Controller campaigner, they all look the same.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

I wouldn't consider myself the most politically correct person nor am I a sensitive new age guy (more of a caring, understanding, nurturing type) but it's time someone took a stand against the boofheads in the media. This boys club of homophobes, bigots and racists need to be taught a lesson once and for all.

The old "slip of the tongue/I didn't mean it" defence must not be acceptable in 2014 especially for repeat offenders.

An opportunity has presented itself for someone with ticker to take a stand. Sadly it will probably only be Caroline Wilson but I hope to hear Gerard say something on offsiders....

 

[PhoenixPower]

Wasn't sure where to post this so I'll post it here purely for it's derp-ness amongst all this other derp...

Overheard at the port v north game yesterday from roosters fans

"Nice kick butcher - that's your 200 grands worth mate - that's OUR 200 grand mate!"

I didn't know where to start responding to this guy....
