Do you eat ice cream?

QED. You think it out of order (as do I but that's not the point), others don't. It's not offensive, homophobic or anything else, just marginally bad taste. There's a world of difference. Offensive, AFAIC, is anything about gross differences such as impairment. But it still says a lot more about the person making the "joke" than anything else. Ignore the morons - especially those telling us to be offended - and move on.


Is that the same 52% that don't understand metaphors I wonder...

Hammond should and does know better, so why do you think he made his comments?

Because he's an ignorant w***er, and wants to increase publicity for their the show which is already the most pirated Amazon one ever?

You are missing the fookin point - it was a non comment.

The only people who are getting upset about it are people who have fook all better to do with their lives.

Is it the fact that you like ice cream and are not gay which is upsetting you?

Is it the fact you are gay and do not like ice cream?

Or is it simply the fact that someone said the word 'gay' in a context which you have been told should be offensive and so now you feel you have been 'offended' and someone should do something to make you feel better?

The kidz today use the word "gay" to mean simply effete or refined, and no doubt that's what Hammond meant.

Anyway, while we've been arguing, has anyone noticed that the "yes and I'm gay" option has two votes?!

And based on our small sample, there are no gay people who don't eat ice cream.

which, taking Hammond's point literally, rather proves he's right!

(To my knowledge he never said _only_ gay people ate ice cream.)

If you are not offended then you are self hating

[BrilloPad]

And based on our small sample, there are no gay people who don't eat ice cream.

And on CUK we never extrapolate...

[WTFH]

Do you eat ice cream?

I'm starting to wonder about BrilloPad's obsession with extrapolation. A quick bit of statistical analysis reveals that 50% of his posts are about it.

My favourite is rum and raisin ice cream, but nowhere in the UK ever seems to sell it.

You should try mango ice cream with medronho's licor, it's a kind of brandy.

I don't know how to say Medronho in English so I inserted the picture here.
