Well stated, Jane from Canada, I was going to say the same thing. Some people are just trying too hard to be offended and then grand-standing it.
Cheer up every one! Or to quote my favorite line from a very non-PC movie, Life of Brian:
'Always look on the bright side of life'
(then wistle the little tune... ;-)

9:41 Home with the boy again. Although he seems much better today. In other times, it took 40 minutes to get him to fall asleep for nap, average these days.

Wow!! Interesting comments.......& I agree with Jane from Canada.....it's just a photo!

The picture is in very bad taste

you all need to GET A LIFE

Are Japanese ladies who whiten their faces in bad taste or Native Americans who paint themselves all colours or is it just the colour black that offends??? I am black and see no offence at all

I see there only me who sings the wrong words to songs!! well i will tell you about it.
When i was younger i always wanted to travel to 'Avenusun' Tony Christie sang In the Avenues and Alley Ways and i thought he was singing Avenusan alley ways!! I thought it sounded like a lovely place!

And who knows 'hot dogs jumping frogs albert turkey'

In America, it's an offensive picture. No two ways around that one. Blackface performers lampooned and ridiculed black people.

The very fact that there is so much controvery from so many folks indicates that there are sensitive feelings with this Pix....

Chilled in Colorado Today....BRRRR...!

america land of the free unless you are a native american

hello all
quel ramdam!Je ne sais même plus ce que je dois penser de l'image d'aujourd'hui. Ich weiss nicht mehr was ich soll denken von dieses Bild!

Bill,où êtes vous?

new to this site - I agree with warren from philly - And wrong words to Bad Moon Rising are There's a bathroom on the right. ???? must have had too much to drink that night and couldn't find the bathroom.

12:41 one of my best om medium.

I had always thought that too from Bad Moon Rising..there are a series of books titled 'Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy'-Misheard Lyrics.

I had always thought it was 'Drop the Catbox' instead of 'Rock the Casbah'...Don't know why anyone would want to spill the litter box...

You could say that the pic is 2 colonial white settlers indulging in some typically insensitive mimicking of the local indigenous population without due regard to their feelings after having dominated them militarily and financially within their own countries OR it';s just a couple of old farts More...

Are these misheard lyrics not known as Lady Mondegreens?? This derived from a misheard line of poetry way, way back:'he was dead and they took him home to laid him on the green'. ????

To Yvette From Rossendale England
If you look at this site you will find many more Mondegreens i.e. words to songs that are not quite right.

From Lady Mondegreen (Laid him on the green)

Don't be such a PC baby. It's a photo for God's sake. What a dill!

No, I've never heard them called 'Lady Mondegreens' but I like it! You Brits are so clever and exotic!!

Bonsoir Catherine. Comment va tu ? J'ai eu beaucoup pour boire lundi nuit. J'ai oublié beaucoup de mots français. Le feu est maintenant dehors. Les nuages noirs ont disparu. Plus de mauvais air.

I love linguistics and learning the different slang expressions for things. I'm learning more UK slang from a series of books my daughter (hormone? is that the right slang?) is reading, one of which is 'Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging'

Love the word 'Wellingtons' for rainboots. We used to call them rubbers when I was little (they went over your shoes) but now rubbers is another word for condom....

Hello Bill. Je vais bien et toi? Your 'ale french' was very good! So fire is out. It's an accident or an attak?
As-tu lu les commentaires sur la photo? c'est terrible! what is Mondegreen?

4:56

Mots aux chansons. Inexactement entendu.

Must go retrieve the children from school. It's about 2:30 here and they get out at 3:00.
A bientot! (cant find how to do the circumflex or accent grave on my computer..sorry QRP)

Thanks for all the wonderful comments...it is nice to here some explination for the photo which may NOT offend. I wonder if there are any people that were offended by the picture, or just people who thought that it would be offensive to the black culture? I like to be politically correct, but get More...

'hot dogs jumping frogs albert turkey' c'est ça un Mondegreen?
Que penses tu de la photo?

As far as native americans are concerned, I don't understand why they are offended by schools using their images as a mascot. 'Warriors' are used as mascots because they are strong, powerful and respected images of native americans...it is not used to mock!! But is that offensive just because I don't understand thier possition?

Sudoku-kiss to your children, Suzanne ^^^^:)

The two characters could well be Mummers, or Morris dancers - there's nothing racial about the face colouring. These traditions were carried out by farm workers at times of the year when work was hard to come by, to make a few extra pennies; they couldn't run to elaborate costumes, so they tacked More...

Whoever doesnt think this pic is horrifying clearly doesnt know anything about blackface. This isnt even a political matter! It is, in fact, offensive.

Are you all blind? Study the picture carefully. It contains iconic representations from many different races and creeds. If, when YOU look at it, all you see is a black face, the problems of prejudice and bigotry are YOURS, due to your narrow-minded thinking and personal paranoia. Please try to open your eyes.
