    His mutton chops are offensive enough. :D

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Blur's Girls and Boys is probably offensive these days to those who identify as something else...

    A product of his times I'd say. I'm glad my times are a bit different.

    Mungo Jerry is fine, it's his cousin Mongo you have to look out for.

    Strange that.

    I find it's more apparent that people search for things they think people might find offensive. Then platform them to see if they find them offensive.

    It's kinda forcing the are you offended question.

    Like this very thread


    When did people lose the ability to , I don't know just cop the fk on.
