Mad Monday!

CBF reading this whole thread but I noticed a lot of people weren't so much offended by the fact they dressed that way, but that they posted the pic and how it went from there? What's that about?? If you think it's OK to go for laughs based around a theme of paedophilia then have a good look at yourself. It's completely wrong. Nothing to do with PC and we shouldn't loose sight of that just because it's 'Mad Monday'. Same standards apply across society, they're not different for those we put on a pedestal because they kick a footy.

Spot on diesel. Well said. Probably a good point to draw a line under this and close thread?

Agreed. I think this discussion has run its course and that seems a good summary..

Sorry, but how is that a "good summary"? Because it only summarises one side of the argument?

Okay. Yeah, good summary.

lol..which part of that post presented the alternative view?

You know what, I don't care. Good summary. There is clearly something wrong with anyone who wasn't deeply offended by a Rolf Harris costume. Close thread.

"There is clearly something wrong with anyone who wasn't deeply offended by a Rolf Harris costume. Close thread."

Must be something wrong with me, then. Anyway, the MFC PR flack has put a statement in front of them and said, "Sign this". And we check out the weather in the next teacup.

Ha, I for one was always deeply offended by the real Rolf because he was always creepy beyond belief in my mind, though I always assumed it was a young boy thing.

Deeply offended by the dress ups? Hardly,... but deeply concerned and amazed at their stupidity.

Look at that straw man go! "Those hysterical people, losing their brains over it, going crazy all over the media!"

It was a dumbarse thing to to, lacking a basic grasp of sensitivity. It got a brief mention in media and hasn't really been run with or beaten up at all.

Even the criticisms on this thread have just said 'it was dumb and insensitive, they should cop their whack, apologise and do better in future'.

The only people losing perspective on it are the ones putting it into some kind of conspiracy theory about the evil leftist ABC climate-alarmist soccer-mum socialist Asian lesbian evolutionist latte-sipping thought police.

I'm not throwing around any labels of a PC brigade. That was HH.

It was dumb, no doubt, because it was done in the public eye. It warrants a talking to but I stand by a harsh punishment being overkill.

If it was within the confines of a private environment, some would not bat an eyelid, some would chuckle, and perhaps some would be offended to the extent being shown in this thread. But the concept itself of dressing up as Rolf Harris, to me, is not offensive, and I don't apologise for that view. It's a dirty old man with ridiculous dress sense being lampooned. It's not condoning what he has done. It's highlighting that he is someone worthy of ridicule.

There's my summary. One that wasn't captured in the "good summary" above.

Many will laugh and then again some who have had some experience with sexual abuse won't ?

Isn't the point that before you go and put yourself out into the public spotlight you may want to consider how a broad range of people will react to your attempts at humor ?

I understand black humor or humor that pushes the boundaries but your select your audience. Dressing up as they did, posting it on instagram was never going end happily Even with the constant education these players get, the message that are given to think about their actions, it is obvious that these two did not "think" at all.

The only thing they did wrong was forget just how much the media loves to fire up the public with mock outrage over nothing stories.

I'm sure the lesson has been learnt now though.

The Queen,British Paints ,the ABC and the BBC lived with it for decades.

Conversation is good .Light is good.Darkness just allows multi millionaires/the church and state's pedos to carry on.

Terlich's costume was topical and slightly amusing.

Harris was a govt employee,a tv personality working with kids,a connected elite in the English speaking world.

Georgie boys costume was generic enough to point the joke at the now legally proven guilty Harris.

To paraphrase Ricky Gervais

"Don't confuse the joke with the issue".

Ah Diesel! I just realized that you were using the acronym CBF (couldn't be... bothered). I thought you were having a go at me!

Must have been a long day for my good self!

Oh dear, posters on Demonland complaining about poor taste, can't have been on here for long

Maybe Terlich made a mistake, but he didn't kill anyone, move on, worse than the media some of the self righteousness being displayed here

If we had a female team and one of the players went dressed in very little, most of the male posters on here would be cheering from the sidelines

As for Harris himself, unfortunately these days,you can't be the dirty old uncle with the wandering hands after a bit to drink

Beg to differ.

It's twice as funny in Swedish

Conclusion festivals in the Australian Football League (Australian football) can be compared with Christmas party are in top European football. It is in other words set for scandals.

Last year was fined Clinton Jones, St Kilda, after setting fire to a short man .

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
