Simply Offensive

[Vodstok]

this is the place to say the most offensive thinsg you can think of, without fear of reprisal. This isnt necessarily the place for racism or pictures of dead babies, but the kind of cruel, awful shit that youwould usually keep out of regular threads in order to keep the peace.


This was inspired by, you guessed it, something i heard on Opie and Anthony this morning. They do a thing they call "The Walk" every morning where they walk from the CBS owned radio station where they do their "Terrestrial" radio show to thier XM satelite radio station. there is a homeless guy named Andrew that they talk to occasionally on the way. they did yesterday, and he was bsing with them.

Now, they have described him as being at his lowest point ever, even for a homeless guy. but he is apparently a real sweetheart, he makes a little crossout of pennies every morning on anapkin, says bless you to everyone, and is generally the kind of hob the world needs, if we are going to have hobos. So he had somehow gotten his hands on a nice cinnamon crumb cake, the kind of pastry that they sell by the slice at ritzy bakeries, still wrapped in plastic, but precut. he was very proud of it, and offered them a piece. Jimand Anthony said no thanks, but Opie aske dhim to put it down, and when he did, Opie jumped and SLAMMED both feet onto the cake, causing it to explode everywhere.

You hear andrew say "Hey, I earned that..." they were laughinbg hysterically, but you can tell they felt bad about it. Jim actually walked away before he jumped, knowing exactly what was goping to happen when Opie told him to put it down. To add insult to injury, Opie tossed acouple of bucks at Andrew for his troubles, which were blown away in the wind.


I have never felt so shitty for another human being on the radio, it was just awful. Even if he wasnt destitute living on a sidewalk, it would have been pretty heartbreaking, but that was just the worst.


The funny thingis, they all felt bad for it, and ALL of them were going to give him money today (we'll see if they actually do)

Anyway, back on topic, i was thinking to myself "This is too much, that is a horrible thing they did. THAT was offensive."

Then i thought, "If it's so horrible, then dont listen to it." Basically, if you listen to Opie and Anthiny, odds are, at some point you WILL be offended. if you dont want to be, dont listen. I actually have to congradulate them, becaus eI am VERY jaded, and it takes a lot to offend me.

Poor bastard, i hope they gave him a hundred bucks a hotel room...

i was SOOO tempted to report this thread. . .because its offensive!!



seriously though - i usually can't stand racism or hatred towards women of any kind. i used to listen to howard stern (when he was free) and would just switch it off when it got into a tirade of racism or sexism (which most people would think means i never listened but, in fairness to the show, was not that frequent)

my problem is people i know who will whip out some racist or vulgar bit of misogyny and then look at you and your stuck with either fake-laughing, calling them on it (and making a big scene) or (my usual response) just staring blankly at them as if you can't possibly see why "that" would be funny to them

(this may explain why i have no friends - :( )

if it's true, then yeah, it is offensive, he offered them a piece of his cake when he's destitute and they jump on it :mad:

shows what a sad world we live in :(

Probably the one thing they have done (well, in fairness, Opie did) that i didnt see the humor in it. I'm partially comforted by the fatc that they knew they were assholes for it and it bothered them.

And really, when Jim Norton says he cant watch it, it's BAD.

or the opportunity to jump on one of their heads - splattering it all over the sidewalk..

[Vodstok]

the sad thing is mr Andrew is clearly not the kind of person who would appreciate such a thing. This did really hit me on a very sensitive level, although its hardly going to make me quit listening to them. I was constantly having to give shit away as a kid either because we were moving (5 times from 1 to 16) not to mention i was one of those peopl that if i had a toy i loved, it would get destroyed or lost. i was never a lucky kid...


So when people havent done anythign wrong and they lose something of value, it kill sme. God help me if Lily ever loses a doll she likes....

i'm sensitive to that too .. my kid has a blanket he's had since he was newborn.
he's attached to it which is weird because i was the same way (longer than most kids) i guess it set the stage for the rest of my life - placing a higher than reasonable value on material belongings - buyt hey - we are what we are.

i just hope nothing ever happens to that damn blanket - it'd be terrible for him.

some might say getting rid of it would be a favor - a life shaping lesson .. hard to tell, everyone is different.

[The Mothman]

opie and anthony are such assholes. frickin hilarious.

if it were my child i'd tell the 'some people' to STFU, if it gives him comfort there's wrong with that, we do it as adults, i have my teddies on the bed, can't sleep without them there

why anyone would want to deliberately put a child through the pain of loss of a loved toy/blanket is beyond me

[Vodstok]

I agree, any attempts i have seen to "toughen" kids has made them hard instead, which is not at all the same thing, or a good one.

[Haunted]

Or... In my family the tradition was to find something to traumatize you and then make a big joke out of scaring the hell out of you. My aunt used to chase my bro around with a vaccuum cleaner because it scared him, which she thought was hysterical. Now, he's a cop.

it's ok I'll be you're friend:)


that deeply offends me - so i'm not talking to you anymore!

Yaaaaay

Offend a monkey.....check

all I have to do now is find a pencil and a speed sign that doesn't end in 5 or 0 and I win

[bwind22]

Opie & Anthony sound like they were probably the types of fags in high school that were somewhere in the mid-level of popularity and also would try to pick on the slightly less cool kids to make themselves look/feel cooler. Fuck them, they sound like total assholes. I hope a legion of hobos rises up and beats the fuck out of 'em. Now THAT would be funny.

[Haunted]

That's funny, Bwind. I knew two guys like that. They were part of our hip "alternative" culture gang.:rolleyes:

[bwind22]

We probably all knew a few assholes like that in high school... At least those of us that went to middle-large public high schools. Mine sucked. We had a bunch of "cliques" and it was fuckin' ridiculous.

There were 'the jocks' and 'the preps'. They hung out together in their letterman jackets and talked about sex and sports.

Then there were the 'choir kids' and 'theatre geeks' that basically formed the nerd group. (You could throw some honor students in there too.)

Then there were 'the dirties'. This clique was basically any goths, vamps, darksiders, heavy drug users, metalheads or punk rockers.

Then there was the snowboarder/skateboarder crew that I would probably categorize myself in if I had to. Somehow, the snowbaord crew sorta transcended the cliques without much trouble. The Preppies & Jocks hated the Dirties and they'd fight all the time. The snowboarders were pretty much able to move freely throughout the different cliques and able to get along pretty well with everyone. The nerds pretty much kept to themselves and did homework or whatever it is they do... Practice singing maybe, I don't know.


High school popularity cliques are a really stupid thing. I never saw the point in limiting myself to 1 particular group of friends.

i was never part of a clique either .. and it confuses kids..
I loved visualy arts - but wasnt an artsy ... i played on the school sports teams but didnt hang with the jocks.
I hated the 'rich kids' that were jerks ..didnt pick on the 'braniacs' but didnt hang with them either ..

i had a vary cool group of friends of about 6 or 7 and the only thing that defined them was that they were all very nice - decent people.

since having a kid it became very clear to me why kids 'hang with their own' and eventually (hopefully - if they have the maturity) grow out of it.

when you see the babies at the daycare .. they play individually - babies arent social creatures. they spend their time learning and exploring - and dont like to share.

as they get older - they all play together regardless of sex or race.

but - they get a little older and the boys seperate from the girls ... a littl eolder and the little black guys start hanging together seperatelt from the white kids.

here's where it gets interesting ... it shows that we naturally - instinctively start to split into groups based on physical appearance - not interests.

just like in the animal kingdom ... the red fish swim with the red fish, the blue fish stay with the blue ..etc

so .. the next thing that happens is that we put kids through school or teach them at home where they develop and grow and learn to overcome these natural instincts with intelligence. just like we learn to outgrow the other instincts like greed and violence.

its not too goddamn hard to see thats where the next division comes ... the races/sexes will come back together and the intelligent will seperate from the 'not so intelligent' - the people who are unable to overcome base instinct and learn how to live within a society in a productive manner.

i think in highschool this is illustrated with the cliques. hopefully by the time these people graduate - this will end and they'll learn to blend in society...otherwise .. yikes ..

haha I didn't know the term "dirties" was actually a widespread term.

[Haunted]

I'd never heard the term "dirties" before.

We were just lumped as "Alternatives," mind you I grew up in a small Southern town. Yup, them were the days: Goth on Monday. Punk on Tuesday. Hippy Earth-girls on Wednesday. Band T-shirt ("I heard them first!!!"), baggy jeans and Doc Martins on Thursday. Club idiots on Friday. ...brings a tear... :rolleyes:
