"Sinking ship" slide - bad taste?

[gully is my god]

That looks fun

I'm not sure that NSC is the best arbiter of what is in bad taste. But, hey hum, I go with the majority on this one.

I'm firmly in the "FFS get over it" camp.

Me too. The ridiculous amount of media coverage it has got is ridiculous, the only reason we are so interested in it is because of the massive irony of the "unsinkable ship" and te fact that James Cameron made a massively overrated film about it. There are many worse disasters which actually deserve mourning and remembrance, but judging by the amount of interviews with bleary eyed relatives whose great aunt's second cousin twice removed died on the titanic, it's sinking was a worse event than both world wars put together...

Is it the SS Pompey?

Nah can't be...some of it's still above the surface...

There is always someone coming out of the wood work to "take offence" no matter what it is!

Wasn't the Titanic built in Belfast? Antrim not being to far away. A bit like having a Hillsborough Kop slide in Liverpool.

A jewish guy on a train sits down opposite a chinese guy. The chinese guy says "Hello". The jewish guy says "I don't talk to you lot, You were responsible for pearl harbour and you supported the germans." The chinese guy says "No. I'm chinese. That was the Japanese". Jewish guy says "Chinese, Japanese - What's in a name?" The chinese guy says "well f*** you then, I'm not talking to you. You sank the titanic." The jewish guy goes " No we didn't, what are you talking about? That was an iceberg". The chinese guy replies "Iceberg, Goldberg - what's in a name?"

Couldn't agree more. Its absolutely ridiculous the amount of things that get over reacted these days.

No more than in the past, it's just than in the internet age every has the possibility of a published opinion. Newspapers also like to drum up a story,

If anything people need to get over that.

No it would be the "forgotten" sister ship, the "Brittanic" as that sank as well. Or if you believe the conspiracy theories it could be the "Olympic".
