 Possible Joke in Bad Taste by a PoliticianSo a Canadian politician makes this joke. Personally I found it hilarious, but apparently some other people are taking offense at it.
"I called a suicide hotline. I got a call centre in Pakistan. When I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited and asked me if I could drive a truck," http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundl ... -1103.html |

Re: Possible Joke in Bad Taste by a Politician I like his rebuttal:
Quote: "If anyone who thinks the joke is offensive, or there's something wrong with it, well I'll apologize to them, sure. If that's what they think. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings," Being of mixed races, people often try to make disparaging remarks about one or the other in my presence and if the joke is funny it is funny. There's something wrong when you can't laugh at the qualities inherent in the lifestyle of some or all members of your heritage whether universally true or not. Take it in stride and realize that oftentimes there is a basis, usually from some past behavior or some misconception, for another person's joke or comment. Make a big LOL and say 'hey, from the perspective of history or media attention, your remarks are hilarious or even poignant in their representation of a particular reflection on my culture.' _________________  |

Re: Possible Joke in Bad Taste by a Politician If John Stewart said that joke it would be funny but when a "Representative of the Queen" tells the same joke it's offensive. The F*CKING asshats need a life, it's just a joke and a funny one at that too.

Re: Possible Joke in Bad Taste by a Politician I swear I've heard something similar from a comedian before, Stanhope maybe? Either way, if Canada is much like the idiots in the US, one little bad sound blurb or dumb gesture will shape their entire campaign, despite how good at their job they might actually be.
