India condemns 'racist' remarks by New Zealand TV host

[gingerjedi]

Political correctness at the taxpayers expense.

What we need is a new word, one that describes someone who gets offended on other peoples behalf, when more often than not, the other people dont give a flying sh1te

Proxymoron?

Proxymoron?

proxymoron is good

8/10 technical merit
4/10 insult efficacy
6/10 contextual identification

in fact, the more i look at it, the more i like it. top man.

As you may know I'm not a fan of Bobland but that wasn't really acceptable. I can imagine a boyish smirk its up there with Biggus Diccus but "because she is an Indian" is well across the line.

we all have our own personal line, across which we dont find things funny.
we all have our own personal line across which we find things offensive.

"These remarks are totally unacceptable to India and should be condemned by all right-thinking people and nations."

1. Get off your high horse, dear. You're not that important.
2. Get a sense of humour/thicker skin.
3. Stop trying to deflect attention away from the woefully substandard games that you are supposed to be 'overseeing'.

I preferred the TV presenter when he was in Crossroads myself.

An old boss of mine had a last name of "Cockburn".

For some reason he insisted it was pronounced "Coburn".

He was right. Some of us are old enough to remember this.
