re: It was only a matter of time...Pink Lives Matter (Spanish Town) Mentioned on CNN

So the Spanish town organizers would be OK with a float with something like " Baton Rouge- #2 in the AIDS. Here's Hoping For #1" With "Gay Plague runner-up " signs elsewhere on the float? So the OT masses would not say this went too far?

---

It would be in keeping with the traditional tone of the floats, so I doubt it. But the point is to make people say, "Wow, they really went too far this year."

Some people fail to understand that.

That's hilarious, but then I'm into black humor.

The other thinf people don't understand is the target audience. The floats are for the parade goers who know what to expect. Taking a picture of one of the floats and plastering it across a national media outlet is the epitome of taking it out of context.

But, but, but...it's the Spanish Town parade and you just don't understand. The meaning of the parade is to offend. The meaning of the parade is to be racist. Nothing to see here, folks." 

Culture...amirite?

First off you live in one of the most whitest states.

Second, these Mardi gras parades that do satire make fun of a shite load of people of all races.

Third, all races go to these fricking parades.

I seriously doubt anybody on here masterbated to it. That's a bit of a stretch.

You mean after they were long ago anchored?!!!

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOl

Remember some of these people here are the same ones who say Katrina signs at sporting events and other references to Katrina cross the line.

what about a katrina joke on a new Orleans parade?

I'm not arguing against it, i'm just asking - is there anything too far?

quote:

This is the same douchebag that tried to compare the Missouri tornado to Katrina, and said that Missouri did a better job recovering because people in Missouri were more hard-working and godly.

I didn't know that, what a bitch.

I am not sure a Katrina joke in a New Orleans parade is too far or not. But I don't think it should be censured. But some people here get all bent out of shape when people complain. Again some of these people who get bent out of shape here wiith the recent complaints about the Spanish town float are the same ones who get all riled up when people make Katrina jokes or signs. They can't have it both ways .
