Would love a Brighton version of this flag!

Really ? As someone who is on the transplant list I think it's quite offensive. If you think which team you support is more important than life or death then you really need a reality check.

It's only a joke

 

[The Fifth Column]

As Stephen Fry once famously said, 'It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so f*cking what.'

But if you weren't, would you find it funny?

Stephen Fry is as capable as any of us of being pig ignorant and insensitive - Sometimes it is all about the context.

Looks CRINGE

If Carlsberg did __________ it would be sh*t, just like the 'beer'

Maybe you could substitute the word offended with upset? As CheeseRolls said, it is about context.

No - it just isn't in the slightest.

Offended? So what.....Steve Hughes

He's undeniably a very intelligent chap, doesn't mean he's always in the right though does it?

It's a careful balance, as with all things, if you make a slightly off-colour joke that offends one person out of many then it could be easily written off as a difference of opinion, if you were to instead sit in a pub wearing a shirt mocking Hillsborough (to use a modern example) then you'd be being an insensitive pigheaded tit and you should be pulled up on it.

'Has no reason to be respected as a phrase' = depends on context

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

I think, regardless of how funny someone else finds it, if someone is offended by it the best course of action is to say "I'm sorry if I offended you", isn't it?

Was thinking of that exact clip and was going to dig it out
[MENTION=2695]Tricky Dicky[/MENTION]

I guess for me the flag is actually more likely to do good than any harm. It isn't mocking people who require a donor and instead is more likely to actually raise awareness whilst also having a dig at Palace.

It's okay to be offended.

It's also okay if nobody gives a shit that you're offended
