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?

I'm happy to go with that.

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.

no it didnt

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!

Edited by Colin B. Flaubert

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 .


A Swedish friend I follow wrote an equestrian article that appeared on that site an i saw the Melb one there... surprised!! and funny.

the evil leftist ABC climate-alarmist soccer-mum socialist Asian lesbian evolutionist latte-sipping thought police.

Hey !!! that's me !!! ( except for lesbian bit)

 

you're a soccer mum?

What's it to you, big boy ?

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
