Images that say so much

Images that say so much.

goth
How you treat your girlfreind says a lot about you.


Led around on chain with a dog collar. This goth was refused entry to bus and is now claiming discrimination.
See BBC website for the full story.
Home grown sexism?

Quirky fetish?
or
Demeaning to women everywhere?


kkk
Wounded KKK man being saved by his mortal enemies.


Few images show the absolute stupidity of a person dedicated to hate as this image does. At this moment he may be wondering why they are trying so hard to save his life.

Thanks for your comments.

Fetish it may be.
However if your daughter was subjected to this fetish how would you react?

Haha.. you're welcome!
Seriously, It's a bus drivers job to ensure safe passage of all passengers to not pass judgement on others.
So this couple has every right to wear whatever they like with any accessory they choose!
It's not as if they were naked!
I think they look great!
I did the leash thing at a party once! Was great fun!

I have 100 crude jokes about this couple and cannot use any of them.

Personally I thought that it was pretty a curiously ironic picture. We get as much controversy over Muslim head scarfs so what is the difference? This just seems to be two people going for a little bit of Fun and some attention.

Harmless kind of subcultural fun that can be interpreted in a number of ways.

However I found the second image much more ironic.

We can be confronted by any image taken out of context.

The second image says a lot.

I'm curious as to how/why/who injured KKK man. Not that it would change what this image says, I'm just curious.

Love & stuff

They're siblings; the pervs. Damo, the hospital staff is concerned that their homes will be torched if they don't help. Better to cap him in private later, then he can't be saved and blame for his demise can't be positively laid at their feet.

Interesting way of making a solid point. Raven

Thanks for your comments.

I do not know the background story for this image. However it may be worth investigating.
It did strike me as ironic. The urgency in the faces of the medical staff indicate that they are totally focused upon trying to save his life.

It makes you wonder if the roles were reversed how would it turn out. Also what do KKK members think when they see this image.

Raven
Thanks for your comments
That is an interesting if not absolutely cynical way of looking at the image. How would the KKK know who worked on this fellow and even if he died be in position to extract revenge?

Thanks for your comments.
The couple made news because they were prevented from going onto a bus by the driver. They are claiming it was discrimination. I can see the image making hard core feminists angry but most other would write it off as playacting.

The KKK image is a classic. It just says so much.

Well Damo I think as a mom I would not want my son or daughter to see this, however whatever you do at home is your business. but that's just me

It is a tough one but I figure that this couple are not really living with mum anymore.
Personally I would go crook at my daughter if she did it but there is a huge gap between stupid playacting and making it into lifestyle choice.
