Pool's Closed Controversy

[Zeema]

The News Story

Alright so pretty much this Women has gone bat shit bonkers. No wait jumping to conclusions thats bad, This women belives that a Black man with a caption saying 'Pool's Closed' is Racist. Now i think this women is bat shit bonkers, she just wants to make a big deal of something that isn't actually racist or offensive.

Well at least i don't find it racist or offensive. What do you guys think about this 'news' story?

Well, considering the whole Pool's Closed thing came out of a group of people pointing out the apparently-inherent racism of the users/organisers of Habbo, I think she couldn't be further from the mark if she tried.

Also, the Pool's Closed thing happened 6 years ago, where has she been?

I'm syrprise this isn't from FOX news.

 

[Amphoteric]

This is REALLY, REALLY old news.

Yeah some people aren't that intelligent. We all know this fact.

 

[Stall]

God dammit. Did I fall in a timewarp and wake up 2008 AGAIN? I hate it when this happens! Can anyone please direct me to the closest timewarp that will take me back to 2011?

What makes it so funny is that she took it so personally. It was a public pool, and she's assuming that it was put there for her. Maybe it was, but from what I saw it didn't look that way.

 

[emeraldrafael]

Well if you're not laughing, the jokes probably not for you. Now it is a bit too coincidental that that got hung up the day her grandkids were going to the pool. still I think this is just someone being a dick for the sake of dickery more then an attack on anyone.


...

Although this makes me want to hang a bunch of those signs up when the community pool finally closes for the season (which is going to be soon it looks like).

Hooray old news, Way to jump on the bandwagon after it moved on, was sold, taken apart, and sold for scrap. Why do people feel the need to bring up an issue that happened a few years ago, I never understand these peoples wave length.

Racism: The belief that somebody is of lesser worth and/or do not deserve the same rights, opportunities, and treatment as others, specifically due to their race.

This: ???

No indication that there's any racism behind it though. It doesn't even seem to amount to cultural insensitivity. One can only assume that this woman was adopted into humanity from a race of sentient Jellyfish, or some similar organism without any hide, spine, or proper higher brain function.

 

[Sneaky-Pie]

I think it's bat shit bonkers that you only said "bat shit bonkers" twice about the lady being bat shit bonkers when she is clearly bat shit bonkers.

Bat shit bonkers.

She was upset because she thought she was being discriminated for having mixed-race kids. Why were all the white kids playing in the pool, when there was a black man with an afro telling them the pool was closed?

She's probably sensitive about it, and is just being cautious to protect her kids. I'm actually curious why the sign was up in the first place. There has to be some kind of implication, because none of the kids in the pool seemed to have read the sign.

U Mad Bro? Oh wait, NAACP said that's racist too apparently. It was ironic in the case of that story that the only news source that reported that it was an internet meme was Fox News (even showed a screenshot of urban dictionary).

I hate how everyone with authority, and nearly everyone who reports "news" is about a decade behind what's going on in teh internets.

 

[Zeekar]

Even the report said that it was old and even explained exactly what it was from. Did anyone actually watch the video?

I don't really think she's crazy, I just think she's overreacting and possibly thinks too much of herself; She's convinced that it's aimed at her even though there is no real rational reason to think so.

 

[Versuvius]

Hilarious. I loved it. Stupid whingepots need telling to get thicker skin and to stop taking things so personally. Idiot woman

Old news but refreshed by trolling REAL LIFE.

 

[Tanis]

Crap, I thought this was from 'The Onion' at first...damn.

All I can say to the police and that grandma is...well...

 

[Rastien]

Damn man old meme is old, good times pools closed habbo people. Still made me lol, also not racist some /btard being a /btard

 

[Gottesstrafe]

God dammit. Did I fall in a timewarp and wake up 2008 AGAIN? I hate it when this happens! Can anyone please direct me to the closest timewarp that will take me back to 2011?

Yeah, me too. Hey, while we're here why don't we mess up the 2008 presidential elections in America or the stock market? Using our knowledge of 3 years into the future, I'm sure there's a lot of hilarious stuff we can do. I mean, that or we could visit our past selves and talk to them. What's the worse thing that could happen?

 

[JasonKaotic]

So black people shouldn't be allowed on signs?
That's a bit racist.
