CXC3000 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I think it's meant sort of tongue in cheek, given how many threads are started by someone irate about the 'dole scroungers'. Meh. Lighten up. I don't think it's that big a deal. My first thought was that the forum had been hacked, then I laughed out loud. They are for the Christmas competition in which you can vote. There's also one with Sheffield spelled with only one F.......wonder how many will notice that:?: I agree, I think its supposed to be a light hearted thing. The advert which refers to all benefit recipients as 'dole scroungers' and calling it light hearted ? I'm sorry but I just can't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Spyda Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 It's only a picture. Get over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but I just can't see it. For once, I have to agree with you. Especially insensitive in the current climate what people losing their jobs etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I thought it was a bit of a jovial prod at the usual forum threads. Whether that actually was the intent is a different matter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrnmrswild Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 Were not being picky when i stated the advert but it does seem a little wrong when people have worked all there life and have no option to claim benefits now i just think the advert was uncalled for in my honest opinion anyway im glad some people see it from my point of view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just get over it and move on. Its just a joke, tongue in cheek, we do need to lighten up round here at times!

Tony Erikson Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 It is a bit insensitive considering the groups that are protected on here. I was banned for starting a thread about Winterville too. Why was the creator of the logo not barred? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
