?????

Is it just me??
I don't think this is funny at all...
Just looks like some sick f*ck making other people looks ridiculous just because he himself is such a loser... what am I missing?
OK, some of the photos are funny, but personally a comment like "He is a horrible monster and I pray for his death." next to a pic of a perfectly ordinary person gives me the chills.
And what's with all the stuff about gay people?? Here in Holland that is considered racist. I can see that it's meant to be humourous, but I can't for the live of me see what's so funny about this...oh well...maybe it's just me...
Oh I just noticed you can send your pictures in...well well well, lovely! So they actually want to be abused like that? Unbelievable.

racist in Holland stands for anything that is derogatory to people of a different skin colour, gender, religion or lifestyle. That is why my use of the word is correct.
After all, just because two people are black doesn't mean they are from the same *race*, one could be a bushman and the other Ethiopian. Therefore the term racist should be taken in a broader perspective.

Dear Melusine,

I, too, found some of the comments on the pictures "derogatory". As someone who is overweight (not much, but then neither were some of the ones he picked on in there), I would take umbrage against some of his comments. The ones with the cats were hilarious, and there were some side-splitting ones in there.

There seems to be a tradition in this country about people getting a kick out of being "insulted." We have restaurants in Dallas where you go there so the waiters can insult you and it's supposed to be funny. At our renaissance faires, there's usually a jester or a ratcatcher or some character like that that goes around giving people "free insults." It's all supposed to be very clever, and you wouldn't believe the people who flock after these guys, begging to be insulted.

That's sort of what I think this site is like. The cruel comments I could do without...the ones about "I'm going to kill this person, this person needs to die"...that really sucks. Some of the other comments, however, are very close to what many people actually think when they see these pics smeared all over Internet web pages, but dare to utter.

I agree with Gaelic, this person has waaaay too much time on his hands. I also do not for one minute think it's an "old person" or a psychotic Vietnam war vet...I think it's some young punk kids getting a kick out of dissing people on a webpage and using an older person as a "nom-de-plume".

However, I did get a pretty big chuckle out of a lot of the comments. Like I said, the cat ones were hilarious.



P.S. You do realize, of course, that a good fifth of the people he's dissing in there, he's downing Dungeons & Dragons and computer games? Just a thought.
