VR Christmas picture satire
Posted In: News. Reading This Thread:

As christmas is nearly upon us, I've taken it upon myself to put together a few festive pictures poking some friendly fun at other members of the great vegetable revolution. Please remember, there's no venom behind these pics and I hope the people satirised in these pictures recieve them with the spirit in which they are offered.
Please feel free to add your own festive VR satire pics, too. The more the merrier guys so get creative.
Anyway, please enjoy and have a very merry christmas, everyone.

I don't really understand the whole joke about Gaz, but, as they say,
"If at first you see a bandwagon, jump, jump again"
It's a very obvious joke, too, but meh.

To be fair, you're the only one who's had a problem with it so far. I'm not gonna tell you how to react, but like I said at the beginning, there's no venom in any of these pictures, they're just satirising different issues that have cropped on VR over the last year.
You're more than welcome to poke fun at me in return.

Rob is dyslexic, Gaz is apparently a kiddy fiddler.
EDIT: hey wait, that sounded harsh.
I like Gaz even if some people don't

other than that, the rox/tabby thing was aight. but i was keeping quiet incase people just thought i was being a bad sport
I don't actually think may of these are very funny.
One of them did make me laugh though.
But which one? ooohhhhh!??!?!?!!?!?!?!

I like an escalator because an escalator can never break, it can only become stairs. There would never be an "Escalator temporarily out of order" sign, only an "Escalator temporarily stairs. Sorry for the convenience."

To be fair, I'm guessing the only reason that one picture was posted was because of Gillian's thread started two days ago where she explained quite clearly how much jokes like that upset her.
Sorry, but I really don't see how you could expect a better reaction. Fair enough with people that you know are happy for you to poke a bit of fun, but when someone goes to the trouble to say how much they don't like it before you even do it then it seems a bit harsh. Especially when you do it because you know it'll upset.

You mean me? You seemed taken aback by someone not seeing the "funny" side of something they'd already said they're sick of hearing and upsets them. Punching someone in the face and saying "Hey - I don't mean it nasty, like. I just thought it would be funny. Punch me back if you want" doesn't make it justified in my opinion.

Oh for f*cks sake, get down off your high horse, Gary.
I've already explained two f*cking times now that there is no venom behind this thead and to be quite frank, I couldn't care less how people want to take it. I've got more important things going on in my life right now than to give two sh*ts whether or not some stranger on the internet is offended by a mild bit of ribbing. "Taken aback"..haha..do come along now.
I mean, there was me thinking that people on VR would be mature and rounded enough to have a little giggle at themselves, but I guess I was wrong. I also expected more from you Gary than such a half-baked comparison as 'punching someone in the face'. Christ, If a horse was that lame mate, it would be taken round the back of the stables and shot.
I've been pretty well mannered on this thread up until now..now I'm just sick and tired of some people on this site being self-absorbed and up their own a*se cracks..whining about their trivial, non-existant problems like f*cking martyrs. It's pathetic.
Oh and before I get rounded on for that comment by the oh-so-holier-than-thou brigade..I know there's plenty of people on this site who have real problems, too..it's not any of them that these remarks are aimed at.
I mean, if you want to over exaggerate the issue any more Gary (obviously there's points to score here), you could say it's the same as me murdering someone and saying "Oh, I'm sorry I shot you in the head, fella. Here's an axe, you can murder me back if you want."
Thanks all the same to a couple of you for ruining the thread by turning it into yet another f*cking arguement. In the future, I'd be greatful for those of you who don't like me, or what I have to say, to not bother reading my threads and that way we can save all the trouble, okay.
I'm sure there's plenty of spamming you could all be doing in the meantime. Cos I'm eagerly anticipating what you might be eating for lunch today. Don't you dare make me lose sleep over it, either.

we all understand there is no harm meant, but gillian specifically requested an end to the height jokes since they really get to her.
gary says: I'm guessing the only reason that one picture was posted was because of Gillian's thread started two days ago where 'she explained quite clearly how much jokes like that upset her.'
i dont think the intention was to upset gillian, but nice of you to stick up for her.

My "punch in the face" analogy was pretty sucky, I'll admit. Perhaps it was more one of those friendly punches in the arm that actually hurt more than it was meant to? I stand by what I said though - if someone makes a point of saying they don't like being punched in the arm and are actually quite upset by people doing it and then someone does it, chances are they won't be too impressed :p
Jamie, I wasn't having a go. I find your posts funny. I find your threads entertaining. I admire your wit and wording. You started a thread with the intention on bringing seasonal happiness to a few people and you succeeded. It got a few laughs, brought out a smile or two and it made the front page. Good show. I was just throwing out that some bad feedback is to be expected when you choose to poke fun at something that's already been made clear is not fun to them. And these things are relative; something that wouldn't upset you can easily upset others. I'll say it one last time - when someone's already made it clear it upsets them then it's just not cricket.
To try and get back into the spirit of things, here's me on my high horse :p

I'm pretty confident that wasn't the intention too. By "the only reason that one picture was posted" I just meant that had Gillian's thread not been started in the first place then I doubt Jamie would have made the picture. It was the "seed" - wouldn't have made as much sense without the thread.
