Mad Monday...

I don't need to put it in that context. It's not a question of 'either'/'or' with those two stories. This is a footy forum and people are here to talk about footy issues. Sorry.

I don't need sports commentators to tell me about some tragedy that's just occurred and patronisingly tell me that it puts things into perspective.

If this is the worst thing that a footballer, a person ever does, then we would indeed be lucky.

But do you complain every second episode of family guy when they show the creepy old pedo guy? Or when there's been a litany of Rolf Harris jokes told here there and everywhere.

I don't really understand that because it's mad monday and AFL players that people care. Then there's people like you who seem to care because they were dumb enough to let it get out. If you're going to care then care about the distasteful joke not that it got out.

 

[clogged]

You guys obviously have no idea about the significance of blackface in perpetuating racism against blacks.

The two acts are not equal.

It has zero significance in Australia.

I'm not on a Family Guy forum. Or a Rolf Harris jokes forum.

Can't it be both? I was furious with Billie Smedts for his little GoPro stunt earlier in the year, partly because it was a bad look, but mainly because he brought a lot of heat on the club from organisations like VicRoads, because he didn't stop and think about what he was doing. And because he was one of the space cadets who was spoken to by police for a stunt where he was trying to break into a new teammate's house and got the wrong address during the 2013 season.

And who introduced the photo to a large cross section of the public

The Media

Thats who your outrage should be aimed at

Exactly the mainstream media who wont report on the cases of paedophelia world wide. The royal family, the entertainment industry, the UK parliment is rife, Catholic church, judges...police forces who cover this up are absolutely scum of the highest order. So any exposure to these filth is ok in my book. But most people could not be bothered to even research the real truth.

 

[saviour01]

I heard a Brisbane Lions player (Lisle) did a 'blackface' impersonation of Lebron James ..

How stupid can you get ?

I went as an oompa loompa last year, was it stupid to go in orange face?

WTF does that even mean? It was completely unnecessary and avoidable and it's brought a lot of heat on the football club, through association. I'm pretty sure it's a headache that the admin and media departments at Melbourne could do without.

Your defense for their actions is essentially that the media has overreacted rather than the underlying issue. People have given reasons why there should be outrage based on the merit of the incident.

BT can't say it, so I will "Queer bunch of folk these AFL players".

You're trying to justify their actions because there exists a character on a fictional comedy show and "Rolf Harris jokes told here there and everywhere". What if Kent had dressed up as a well known white supremacist with Georgiou as his black slave? How would that be any worse?

Thats the third time someone has said it was Dean Kent, or maybe it's just you again.
It's not Kent, its Dean Terlich.

Someone writes and acts the fictional comedy show. Someone makes those jokes. I'm defending the right of people to make distasteful jokes.

It depends overall on how you read it. If you see it as a joke denigrating Rolf Harris as the creep he is then it makes sense. If you see it as some how glorifying him then you can be angry. You can't sell white supremacist and slave to me as a joke.

 

[craffles]

Fks sake big footy flogs less egotistical arguments more funny shit!

Thinks that's the first time apologies meant to say Terlich.

But then the defense would be that you are just denigrating the white supremacist. If you think that example would be unacceptable how do you defend what Terlich and Georgiou did?

Who is the white supremacist? There's the difference and how I can defend it. Because I see the joke being Rolf Harris. He's the pathetic disgusting joke of a person who's now a dress up costume denigrating him. It's not a tasteful joke but it's still one.

Would it be acceptable to broadcast to the community as a gag, certainly not. But I don't think it means we should get outraged because two guys are having a joke between a group of mates.

 

[wowlace]

Very dumb, Georgie boy and Terlich should cop a fine and a few extra hours in the social media lectures next year. It's just a stupid joke made in bad taste and unfortunately some young men are a bit slow to develop the empathy trait. What is really funny is all the fake concern trolling going on up in here. Good show fellas, keep it going.

You can choose to live in a state of over sensitivity. I'll sweat the big things instead.

My favourite time of the year - we get to commemorate the Geelong Football Club inventing dress-ups.

 

[SBYM]

Maybe the lads should have dressed up as this couple instead.



That's Christine and Anthony Foster in case you were wondering. They are anti-abuse campaigners.

One of their daughters committed suicide, whilst another is now disabled after being hit by a car because of her drug and alcohol issues.

Both were abused as children.

Yeah…paedophelia is hilarious.

 

[Shaneprice97]

One of the Gold Coast Suns did a very impressive 2015 Marty Mcfly.

 

[Tulip]

How ****ing angry are you? I know I'm angry. Those fools condoning paedophilia make me so angry. How dare anyone dress up as a sex offender and under age girl. Unless they're Jimmy Bartel, because we can't hate Jimmy.

I mean, **** me. Is this where our media is at? Roll out the 24 hour bulletin - two average footballers whose names most people don't know dressed up in a stupid costume on the day they're meant to but overstepped the mark.

I'm not saying it's right, but the media getting up on their high horses just makes me feel dizzy.

It's been said many times over the years, but absolutely nobody has suggested Geelong invented dress ups, they're just the best at it.
