This forum is full of sickos

Personally, I think its wrong. Like I wouldnt make a joke about someones mum who died, so I dont think its right to make any joke about it.

Then again, it;s bound to happen and there's no point getting annoyed and frustrated about it. Ignore what they say if you dont want to hear it.

I alerted lAscend about this when he was Forum Manager and the reply I got was
I'm not sure whether this was discussed with the two and what the outcome was but there had been a build up and before this thread, the situation regarding sick jokes was very confused. It seems to of been clarified to an extent now it's 'recommended' they're in spoilers.

I think it does need to be discussed between the manager as it's clearly confused and there's a lot of views on this. Needless to say this thread has had over 150 replies and there's other threads with arguments in as well. People seem upset and it needs sorting, the forum needs clearly to announce it's views on sick jokes and what it intends on doing with them, it cannot continue like this.

Well the joke & spam forum are one thing but if people are just posting jokes in a serious thread in the Current Affairs forum then I feel that it is really a case of pointless posting as justing posting a joke does not contribute anything positive to the subject of the thread and should be reported & dealt with by an Smod. That's my take on it although I stand to be corrected. As far as the allowing the 'sick jokes' that is really not within my remit. Thanks for the very constructive reply. :)

I'll admit I haven't read all these pages so to excuse any repeating of comments but I personally have found these jokes hilarious. I was infracted once for a Steve Irwin joke I posted and to be honest it depends on your humour.

I have a sick sense of humour, I like verging on the inappropriate and trying to find 'the line'. It's who I am. The moderators are keeping an eye on arguments but what I'd suggest is those who don't want to read MJ jokes don't go into an MJ Jokes thread and start arguing.

I don't think people should put down other people's humour because we're all different here, some people like one thing, some like the other. I don't see a need to argue but just stick to your side.

I think the anger at Sammeth. is unjustified as yes, he's an AGM but he's still allowed a laugh! Yes, he perhaps shouldn't of posted in a closed thread but he didn't realise it was closed and to be quite honest, he's a very good AGM so I think people should stop using him as the poster boy for anti-MJ jokes.

Ye, i totally agree with you there. Think i will be avoiding any threads that relate to Micheal Jackson because it really does anger me when i see people, 13 upwards acting like this....

Thing is throughout this thread there are people who are saying it's sick telling these jokes but they would be joining in on the joke if he wasn't dead. Just because he is now dead doesn't mean the jokes must stop. There are jokes still being told to this day about Elvis dying on the toilet, it even features in an Eminem music video. That doesn't mean it's disrespectful, just like paparazzi going to celebrities houses isn't either - IT'S ALL PART OF THE JOB.

I personally love Michael and think he is the best thing that has happened to music, have said it for a long time and have online posts to prove this fact. It's the people who will change their minds as soon as someone is dieing or dead. They are still the same person like it or not. I myself would have cracked out a Michael joke when he was alive and will continue to do so as he put himself up for the life he had and it's going to be publicly documented for the rest of time.

I personally believe that Michael never committed the acts he supposedly done and the jury had the same opinion. I believe the reason for his weird obsession with children is because he didn't have a childhood due to being in showbiz from such as young age. To me it was just him trying to reclaim it by being around children, I still believe he didn't have a malicious mission to carry out with the children. It could be classed as a mental illness just like a lot of people with serious cases of dyslexia can't understand racism. Doesn't mean they are racists, it's something their mental capacity can't maintain and store. Which leads me to the factor of I can't see him having the mental capacity to commit a sexual act on a youngster.

Still the jokes will go on and I'm not going to disagree with them just because he's dead, he's a celebrity and that's the raw end of the dealio.

He made comments which could be seen as offensive... But i was joking... Tbh i would be fuming if i was a family member of the Jacksons
and i came on and i seen comments like that...

Will do. :)

Leave sammeth alone, he wasn't the only one and he's only getting picked on because hes AGM. I personally thought the plastic bag joke was very funny (pat on the back for whoever posted it).
Everyone's humour is different and if you see something you don't like, look at something else.
