Spoiler: Very poor taste joke (click to show/hide)

Where's an Anders Breivik when you need one?

[Doomblade187]

In other, extremely important, news... Norwegian handball player Frank Løke has "stunned" and "horrified" audiences with his "ghastly" behavior during the latest episode of a popular TV series involving people dancing with each other. His dancing partner said of the incident: "What happened [at the dance] crossed a line".

What, you want details of his crime? You sick bastards. It pains and sickens me to even mention such despicable acts, but if I must...


...he showed up to the event and danced wearing only a mankini.

I'm thinking Norway should reinstate the death penalty, personally.

What confuses me is that his partner said that it was a terrible thing. Did he spring this on her? That would be the only objectional thing there, imo.

Supposedly, that's exactly what he did. I'm not entirely sure how that happened, seeing as there tends to be a great deal of coordination involved with the routines, but eh.

I mean, he's done similar things before... He's previously gone through a Top Gun-themed dance number (with the same partner) before the grand finale, where he ripped his pants off to display the glittering stripper undies beneath. I'm not entirely sure what people expected, he has a reputation for being an unpredictable clown, and he's lived up to it on multiple occasions.


But yeah, people are talking about how she (his partner) worked really hard for this, and then he goes and prances about in that red little number there. And yeah, sure, if she's really put herself into this thing and legitimately expected him to not provocatively swaddle his willy, I can understand people being a bit miffed with him for screwing her over in that way.

There have been plenty of over-the-top angry comments about his lacking moral character and how he's effectively ruined the entire show for everyone forever, though.

[Loud Whispers]

Probably just manufactured outrage to boost the popularity of the show. People love tuning in to watch something after it's scandalous

[hector13]

If I had his body I’d wear a mankini erry day.

I mean, Anne Wideecombe was lowered to the stage via crane in the British version. I don’t think anything can beat that.

[TD1]

Also of note, that thing people keep mentioning where NYC has less murders than London?

It literally didn't happen for more than a single month - February. So, yup, people should stop repeating it as a meme since it was merely a statistical blip and not indicative of any trend. In May and June for example, NYC had three times the murders of London. One of the suggestions for why NYC dipped so low at the time is that there were excessive snowstorms in NYC in January / February meaning people stayed indoors.

Apparently, revenge is not a dish best served cold.

[hector13]

It doesn’t say the person serving it has to be cold too, man.

Where I am, last Winter one day the high temperature was expected to be -18 Celsius. The local schools didn’t even close.

It's best served with finest English cuisine of meat vinegar soup with salt

Most of the grunts in my platoon were in agreement that -16 to -18 is pretty much the ideal temperature... Not too cold, not wishy-washy-slushy-sloshy warm. Just the right temperature for when you're out in the field.

It's funny the things you get used to...

If I had his body I’d wear a mankini erry day.

Right? The dude's 38 years old. If you got it, flaunt it baby...

[ChairmanPoo]

If I had his body I’d wear a mankini erry day.

If I had his body I´d get rid of it before the authorities noticed he was missing.

[Loud Whispers]

Honestly it's his body, his choice, why Nords gotta slutshame the slut

[Adam Mantine]

And lo, the EU sends us back into the Dark Ages.

Thank you, EU, for cementing EU-skepticism in my mind, you vile cretins.

It still needs to be ratified in December. People need to get active before then. If you live in Europe contact your MEP, if you don't live in Europe sign a petition or donate to an anti-web-censorship group like the Electronic Frontier Foundation

[hops]

Since I highly doubt anybody would give enough of a shit to reverse it, how would the EU internet actually look like after this, and how would people deal with it without having their internet experience completely distorted? This just seems like something that is such a huge deal you got to wonder how people would let it happen. Even the politician these days use the Internet so I don't understand how they can express this SOPA-level of not-give-a-shit.

Would EU meme culture just... straight up cease to exist?

[Il Palazzo]

Anyone have a link to the actual text of the thing rather than an article that contains literally no details on what the thing does?

https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A52016PC0593

Ref. 21 would be probably good to read through as well.
