Delusions of Grandeur and Plain Weird13 Mar 2009 09:28 am

Thanks to Angel for finding this comment on a Times article about violence against women.

women are often as attractive and as beautiful as flowers(with brains) it is normal that they want to show the best of themselves through being sexy : it is the essence of feminity and real men like that .Those who dare hitting a woman are not well in their mind.Who would hit a flower
Didier, paris, France

I tried to explain that to my girlfriend once. She said I was a patronising cunt and then wept as she beat her tiny fists ineffectually against my manly chest.

    Flowers with brains are scary! Has Didier not seen Little Shop of Horrors?

    And ugly women are like… trees? Which are OK to fell and then chop up into little pieces and burn?

    Someone hasn’t seen “Day Of The Triffids” (I would say “read”, but…).

    So he thinks flowers are sexy? That’s a little creepy.

  5. on 13 Mar 2009 at 10:10 am retro

    Yeah, girl power is so 1990s. It’s all about flower power now.

    God, I wish more men understood women the way Didier does. He seems to really appreciate the fact that my whole purpose in life is to look sexy for men and be all delicate and that. When I’m not, a spot of domestic violence or societal rejection puts me back on track, quicksmart. But to be honest, trying to be fully human or have a life outside looking attractive is so difficult and empty that I never stray far from vapidity. Or a bottle of Baby Bio.

    Note: this post may contain unladylike sarcasm.

    @ Bit Special

    Don’t worry your pretty little head about it love.

    Didier’s too busy looking cool and snogging a waif-thin fashionista, (whose sole food daily food in take consists of a single espresso, five gauloise and the scent from a garlic and snail infused croissant,) behind your back to care – the cheese scoffing surrender monkey that he is.

    My daughter would find Didier’s comment very offensive. So it’s fortunate I never allowed her to learn how to read, on account of the risk of overheating her delicate female brainparts.

    women are often as attractive and as beautiful as flowers- but not always.

    the ones that aren’t deserve a good fucking hiding.

    Who would hit a flower?

    I would. Fuck yeah! I kick the heads off dandelions just for a laugh. Cheeky bastards popping up between the yorkstones on the patio! Cost me a couple of grand that did. Taking fucking liberties that is.

    Fucking hyacinths need bringing down a peg or two as well. You never know which way they’re looking. Staring at you with their beady gimlet eyes and acting all laadeedaa like they own the fucking place. They better stop following me around or they’ll get a fucking hiding. Caught one the other day – sitting there on a window sill trying to look all innocent like, but I know the bastard was trying to chat up the missus. Cheeky fucker looking at me all funny like – bastard needed teaching a lesson, I can tell you.

    Them Daffodils are cunts as well.

    Don’t get me started on cunting poppies, Simon – those fucking forrin bastards come over here, blighting our glorious English (not British) landscape with their sickening, gaudy, un-English hues and – AND! – they’re full of drugs, which they’re more than happy to share with anyone! Hitting flowers? The fuckers need HANGING, if you ask me.

    (Unless they’re particularly sexy flowers, in which case we should just imprison them and use them as ‘comfort women’. The dirty botanical slags would love it, too…)

    Since it’s Comic Relief Day and all that, just thought some of you might appreciate how the HYSers are coping when challenged to “say something funny.”

    Miserable failures every one of them.

  28. on 13 Mar 2009 at 5:37 pm Daley Mayle

    Mmm, just looked at the HYS ‘comedy’ thread – it all seems to be fucktards harassing some poor (perfectly reasonable and sane) woman who made the mistake of saying how sad it was that nearly all the *jokes* are racist. You’re on HYS, love, what do you expect: razor-sharp wit and biting satire? Most of them still haven’t got over slavery being made illegal back at the start of the 19C.

    Oh, and ‘david taylor, Southend’ is complaining about about there not being enough variety of racist jokes; he thinks it’s ‘hipocracy’ that there’s no Muslim racist jokes but plenty of Irish and Welsh ones. If Jesus existed, he’d weep. Haven’t we slagged off this blistered bison’s bell-end before (dt, I mean, not the ickle baby Jebus)?

  29. on 13 Mar 2009 at 5:46 pm Bit Special

    It’s truly heart-warming that all the HYSers are defending their right to spew unfunny racist cracks onto teh interwebnets as true English spirit and a fun way of unifying to fight the power. Or something. I gave up at page 2, when someone referred to the moderators as oppressors… there’s only so much I can take.

    I wonder if comic relief ever was funny?

  32. on 13 Mar 2009 at 8:43 pm Kelvin

    I know I should write up some of the entries in that comedy thread. I know it would be shooting fish in a barrel. But even for HYS I find it uniquely depressing, that in a thread about using humour for the purpose of charity, all the HYStards can bang on about is their right to insult the nig-nogs. At least with the credit crunch jokes they were constrained by the topic to something that doesn’t naturally fall to the topic of Britain’s Ruination By The Immigrunts. Seeing what they get up to when they’re free to choose a topic… I didn’t think I could be any more of a misanthrope, and indeed this doesn’t make me more of one. It just makes me feel like I’ve failed because I can’t hate humanity as much as these people deserve to be hated.

  33. on 13 Mar 2009 at 11:34 pm Bit Special

    Poor Kelvin. Too much HYS can be very damaging to one’s mental health. Get your daughter to show you one of the many dances she’s been learning in order to one day snare a top-notch suitor (with your approval, obviously) – that should cheer you up.

    PS Loving the woman whose *joke* was just ‘Gordon Brown’. It’s the predictability that really gets me down. Does the Daily Mail secretly operate like The Borg?

    Wonder why.

  37. on 14 Mar 2009 at 10:19 am OhMyGosh

    How sad to find so many racist comments on this HYS within seconds of visiting the site. And yet the real jokes are impossible to locate without wading through the offensive stuff.

    Kathryn Rimmington, portsmouth

    Quite delusional. I don’t support the self-serving publicity stunt that is Red Nose Day but the above comment is the most comical posting on the whole forum.

    Anthony Karas

    There’s not much you can say about this comment from Ant. Genuinely depressing.

    Withnail Xtreme’s normal cynicism is overcome by a desire to say something nice about Comic Relief:

    I would like to extend my best wishes to all who make tonight a special night, a night where forgotten miserable lives can be highlighted, and the forgotten people who suffer on a daily basis can benefit from the superb charity events courtesy of some fine caring people here in the UK.

    All the very best for Comic Relief Night.

    Withnail Xtreme, Camden Town

    Sycophant! I’d have thought that someone with the anti-Government and counter-culture sensibilities of Withnail Xtreme would be able to see right through Comic Relief, neck-deep turdfest of pisspoor jokes and celebrity guilt-shifting that it is. I guess I’m not “Xtreme” enough.

    You’ve just given me an idea for a series – it’ll be ratings gold.

    “When interspecies bukkake goes wrong!!!”

    Didier – the Parisian lothario, explores the nature of the men and women who defy nature, (and the strictures of 21st century Judeao Christian morality,) by engaging in loving relationships with flora.

    [Features scenes of a sexual nature which may cause offence to some viewers, but is scheduled to titillate sad blokes coming home from the pub. Features brief scenes of nudity and a single pixellated "money" shot.]

    Someone get me David Mitchell’s agent. We’ve got a voiceover to record.

    He should have gone to a proper University then shouldn’t he? Not some Fenland Poly.

    They clearly don’t learn ‘em proper to construct good English sentences, like. Innit.

    He needs to get himself out there and learn some proper life-skills – like twocking, knifecriming and the mad skillz and that.

    He won’t get far in life misplacing his “haves.” You mark my words.

    Back on topic. Have we established whether it’s acceptable to thrash a geranium with one’s wife yet? Can anyone clarify the correct protocol? Is it frightfully infra dig?

    From the David Mitchell comments:

    “Oh look, darling, I’ve just written ‘It just goes to show you can’t be too careful!’ on CiF! Gosh, I feel like I’m a part of something bigger now, even though I’m very middle class and don’t really ‘get’ this internet meme thing, because it’s David Mitchell it must be OK.
    Golly, it doesn’t even matter that it isn’t very funny and with every repetition it gets even more mediocre, but look at all those other people posting the same thing. We’re brothers and sisters of the internet! I wonder if this means David will be my friend on Facebook now?”

    Ahh that made me laugh.

    As a tranny, I wonder where I fit into Didier’s sceme of things? A plastic, artificial flower, perhaps.

    Still, ‘real men’ like it when I project an ‘essence of femininity’. It’s the kick in the bollocks they push their luck that puts them off.
