Hmm... don't reckon much to the 'Lee Van Cleef' one.
As to the 'I'm a Mong' one... I just rckon that that's offensive - having at times worked with people with 'Learning Difficulties' I think it's very insulting.
Way to wind me up with your first post by the way... let's hope you improve on this please.

Must admit hadn't had chance to listen to any yet, But By the sound of it I'm glad I've not.

It's not the tune as much as the images... some 'wit' has decided to show what he/she would class as 'mongs' to accompany the music... so you have people with Down Syndrome (a.k.a. 'Down's Syndrome') and other perceived 'disabilities'/identifiable 'physical' conditions.
Maybe if the images were 'spoof' rather than real, then it would possibly be a tad less offensive, but I personally feel that this is a 'taboo' and an area that I avoid like the plague... such as child abuse and domestic violence too.
Nope, don't like it - but on reflection moomin, it does raise an interesting subject for debate... so although the vid. wound me up, as far as I know, you didn't produce it, so I apologise for 'having a go'... it's just that it hit close to home.

no i didn't produce them but i know the guy who did. Well of course he didn't use images of people with real learning disabilities! Just some very wiered you tubers. to be honest i think that the whole thing is somewhat political... it's free speech, not an attack on anyone in particular but then again, isn't that what happend to comedy when South Park hit the scene? I've seen several episodes where child abuse is at least implied.... and cartman dressed as Hitler once.. anyway you shouldn't judge anything unless you have seen it, personallly i found the song about the seat sniffing pervert 'menstrual cycle' to be very funny indeed. where he got footage of that perv i will never know www.youtube.com/watch?v=43hB6ppMLiY'When a manatee loves a woman' wasn't half bad either. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YaOFfk2Nms&mode=user&search= |

I have seen the one in question now, didn't think much to it to be honest.
But Each to their own

Well, I reckon we certainly offended someone - this spam-monkey never came back after I slagged his mate's efforts. Although I do think he left a comment on my 'Bearnard Manning' vid - what a gent!  N. |
