What other cyber bollox have you reported today?

Aaand thats enough internet for the day. Night

I know it's never good to be one of those posters who replies early in a new thread with a one word post because it comes across as either strangely desperate or attention seeking, but having said that, in response to your post and opinion on this one particular WWN article being the one which made you report it I just really want to know your motivations. So I guess I could sum this post up in three letters, a dot and a squiggly line.


Why?

long_b

The Cavan deaths?

The Backwards Man

Fierce mild out tonight

Ha ha I gave it a "Love" like on FB. Does anyone on Boards have a sense of humour?? Mrs Brown's boys doesn't count as humour btw.

Well you should probably build a bridge and get over it so.

I think it's in poor taste given the recent Cavan deaths tbf

WWN can be hit and miss. That's a miss.

So you opened up to an audience that would have never seen it otherwise.

Seems harmless to me. Probably not haha funny though.

Did you report the latest Charlie Hebdo edition depicting the Italian earthquake or is it only makey uppy stuff you are reporting?

Ok im really gone this time.

jimmy blevins

There's all kinds of actual horror going on in the world at the moment, maybe spare your outrage for something truly outrageous.

Just ignore it then. Why bother reporting it.

Oh, won't somebody think of the children?!

Over 8,000 Facebook users have liked it, but you want it removed because it doesn't suit your sense of humour. Ride on, righteous one!

I was expecting something a bit more controversial when I clicked the link. It's not particularly funny.

However, I'm amazed that anyone could be even remotely offended by that. The only connection between that story and the events in Cavan is in your head.

Not the funniest Waterfor Whispers ever, but hey, WW is like pizza. Even bad pizza is still pizza.

That's fair enough but why report it, why not just ignore it.

Shur Cody's still alive.....

Wanderer78

thank god, might give the rest of us a chance of winning now. feel sorry for the families though

me_irl

I think the point of this is that you reported something that someone else might have skimmed past and gone "meh" at (like me). I didn't think it was one of their best satirical posts, but I wouldn't go so far as to "parent" the internet by reporting it to be taken down. Just move on.

On fecesbook there's an arrow to the right of each story. Click that and select Hide, or Hide all from xyz.

Not sure if the OP is a "lad" - when i looked at tthe facebook page, every offended person was a woman. Read into that what you like....!

Im back again.

Ah here, dont be blaming us for not being as outraged as you.

No need to compare this place as a clickbait crowd for a ****ty website like the one you mentioned.

You're worse for starting a tread on it.

Samaris

Did anyone else have to wait to get to the comment saying "Cavan?" to get the outrage behind this one?

Wouldn't have occurred to me to link the two. I might as well have tried to link it to the earthquake.

It's petty. Clearly other people like it. Why not leave them to it and scroll on.

Sure Brian Cody didn't do that?

These websites are called Satirical for a reason. To some peoples tastes and not others. They don't mean to offend. They mean to, in the words of the Irish...have the craic.

Not getting at you obviously Long_b.

If people don't like what they read on WWN just block the page and you won't see their articles. Simple

Might have been an idea for them to headline it "hurled to death"; for one it would have broken your mental join-the-dots and for two it would have been a deadly pun at first glance!

And if they'd said Cody had shot them all we'd have someone complaining about gun violence in America. If it was a bomb we'd have some bleeding heart worrying about suicide bombings and ISIS. There's no way to win when there's always someone somewhere who just wants to whinge about a joke instead of leaving people laugh about it.

It's on the internet. I'm not sure the size of a country matters.

You are looking for everyone to be outraged but unfortunately the incident in Cavan was last week and most people have moved on. It's human nature, bad things happen all the time and the only ones who remember are the families.

Hang on op, I'll reply once I unstuck my sac from my inner thigh. That's a fierce warm night

Knife violence has been a fact of life since man first learned how to sharpen metal. There's never an "ideal" time to make a joke about murder. Most adults have the cop on to know when something is not supposed to be taken seriously, and only a tiny minority will engage in the necessary (il)logical gymnastics required to link the losing All-Ireland hurling finalists with a brutal murder at the opposite end of the country.

Is AH having made up crazy posters now like the radio phone in shows?
