Hahahahahaha! Oh, even the thought of it makes me break into hysterics.

The point is whether you believe all the lyrics to be true - I don't
but
whether you or I like it or not there is a cross section of the public
who hate LUL, its staff and the way they feel they get treated when
they
use the system.


I'm still wondering whether the singer *does* believe the lyrics to be
true, or whether he's just *parodying* the sort of people who do.
Either way, it isn't clear, ad so the song totally misses its target --
whatever that target just happened to be. As a result, it's not funny
at all, just a confused ugly mess. Didn't even make me smile once.

Thankfully I am not you and you are not me. Praise the fact that we are
all different. Any way it really makes no difference to anyone's life
what this song was or was not trying to achieve.

You could come and paint some walls in my house for free. I'm sure I
would smile for hours after that.

Gerrof 'im. He was talking to me.

Oi! Penguin! I found the song *really* funny, and desperately need some
walls painting. Do you do plastering, too?

I wouldn't go that far - there are far more offensive things on the
Internet. It did make me grin, but it wasn't especially funny, I didn't
think - I don't find things funny merely because they use the f-word a
lot (like Billy Connolly, who would be a lot funnier if he didn't).

I actually find I'm totally unable to take offence at Billy Connolly
at all, whatever words he uses, despite the fact that I don't like
other comedians who go over the top with it.

As for the "song", it was mildly amusing but would probably have
worked better without the excessive use of the C word.

"Commuters"?!

Actually, I've withdrawn my request to remove the file, as there's no
evidence here that any LU staff are bothered about (what I regard as)
the offensive abuse directed at them.

Did you happen to complain about Springer on the BBC too?

How strange. On one hand you are a complaining busybody that thinks LU
workers are too timid to complain if they felt it was offensive and
concerned them (not that anyone is forcing them to download), yet on the
other hand you dont complain when tens of thousands of busybodies are
complaining over a program noone forced them to watch.

You may think you know what I think but you are wrong.

I don't complain about TV programmes that I haven't watched, unlike most
of the people who complained to the BBC before the programme went out.
