Contrary to fringe theories, the ancient wonders - Giza, the Nazca Lines, Easter Island - were built by humans.
Except Stonehenge.
Having observed British people at pubs and soccer stadiums, and catalogued their skulls and craniaI capacities, I can assure you that aliens built Stonehenge.
Given how much our northern neighbour boasts how hard they are it's weird that I can always rely on seeing some whiney scot's reply trying to carve themselves out as an exception to other British people. You're all about as ugly and guilty of Imperialism as the rest of us, pal.
Alright, yeah. Irvine Walsh was not holding up a mirror to a distinctly Scottish society, it was all in his head. Scotland is an immaculate place of wonder where all the buildings are by Macintosh and you all look like Ewan McGregor or Gerard Butler. No wonder you want independence.
most of the comments here can be summed up as "oh, why oh why won't anyone think of the dignity of white men?!"
...in response to the Onion. well known shit stirring site of satire and bad jokes. irony is dead.
Honestly, I just think this is a nasty, vicious little article. And a pretty stupid thing to do about a decent sized group of people who are likely Onion readers.
I’m not sure, “American men are inbred horrific ugly freaks descended from dogs” would be considered a witty joke. This isn’t okay.
First of all. Note your spelling of satirising I’m literally Irish/british, we’re masters of taking the piss out of ourselves and everyone else.. I saw the article and snort laughed … it’s not serious..
I agree, also if it is satire which I assume the author would claim, what issue is it seeking to highlight? I don’t really get it… it is nasty but also just a bit shit.
Yeah, genuinely I have no issue whatsoever with exposing the hypocrisies or failings of another country or people. But this just feels like a weirdly vindictive personal attack against a whole people for … no particular reason? I don’t get why it’s funny.
It's funny as hell idk what you mean, I could go to my nearest pub right now and find twenty guys who all look like bulldogs and they'd go tell their mate that he had an article written about it. This is literally the same sort of piss take joke that english people make about eachother all the time
I mean, I disagree. And also I think there’s a difference between people in a group saying things about each other and a completely different group saying “you’re inbred ugly freaks descended from dogs” and then saying “it’s a joke”
Ok then, disagree, I won't stop you. But if the people it's supposedly insulting find it funny then what makes you think it's so offensive because I genuinely don't understand that
Lots of nasty jokes are common. Sexist jokes are common. Homophobic jokes are common. Racist jokes are common. Them being common does not make them okay.
The number of people who #AteTheOnion on this is mad. Also, I'm trying to work out how The Onion got hold of a photo of two of my uncles and an aunt...
