Congrats on your great stand and all, but you will be banned and forgotten. The only thing remembered about this thread is how the rest of GAF derails it.


Hope it was worth it!
 
So tonight I turned my computer on, opened my webbrowser and after a while of catching up on my facebook, I opened up GAF. The first post I see just left me shocked and without words.
I'm just going to link to the picture but it involves a "joke" about the Hindenburg disaster in 1937.

I'm not a citizen of Lake Hurst, New Jersey and I was pretty young when this incident happened so it didnt affect me that much at the time, but I was smart enough to know this was a disaster and should not be laughed about ever.
When I informed the person this was about German passenger airship that caught fire where 35 people were killed, I was actually hoping he did not know where this picture was from. But he did know, and he just found it freakin hilarious. He then informed me that its a parody about the word crackerjacks that is being used for so much lately.

Now I dont mind a bit of crude humor, but for me this was a tad much.....

How can people be so clueless, or am I just overreacting? I usually try to just put it behind me when I see something stupid like that, but for some reason this just hit me pretty hard.

Edit: just noticed the person got some serious backlash from another person regarding how crude it is.

I remember when we watched this in my Social Studies class Freshman year, some kids laughed. I just remember thinking how... awful it all was. I agree with you, OP.

edit- I don't THINK this is a parody thread...
 
He shouldn't get banned for this. Its Friday, I laughed and I don't know what else because I forgot as I was typing it.

A+
 
Like I said, I love GAF on weekends.

WEEKEND COFIRMED
is what I'm listening to right now. I love loving things with the Shack News crew.

Yeah, this and the iPhone insurance fraud threads are making it an awesome Friday night to be a shut-in.
 
I guess OP wants everyone to be respectful of our senior citizen posters on this board who have lived through disasters of the past that are often a set-up to a joke for those of us who are disconnected from the tragedy that took place all those years ago.
