Should you be offended?

[PHiuR]

I was just on the MSN.com at the video section for the World's oldest child.

The advertisment that came on before the actual video had short clips from National Geographic and it showed about 10 different types of animals, bear catching salmon, lion attacking a zebra, a big fish eating a smaller fish, then it showed a group of african women dancing. And back to some more animals...

I haven't been on atot for several months...I forgot that the anandtech has many douches lurking around.

Are you black?

I'd be offended if I was the Bear, I mean I doubt he really wanted to be photographed while fishing. It's an invasion of privacy. Personally I am deeply offended for bears everywhere.

If I was black.... I know that I would.

You are correct, I'm not sure if they were Aborigines or not.
I made an assumption.

It is bad enough that the world is full of thin-skinned pussies who get offended at just about anything but it is even worse when you are looking to be offended. Just remeber.....nothing offends more than the truth.

well you asked if you should be offended...only a fvckwit wouldn't be able to tell if they were offended or not...

and you would have to be a complete tool to be offended by something like that.

why do you have to keep calling people names? Do you need to do it so that you can feel better about yourself?

no...I just tell it like it is, nothing more , nothing less

 

[Majician]

Was there any audio to the ad? Or are you offended based on what video you saw?

 

[BriGy86]

if you have to ask then no, end of story

Maybe you need to figure out what your values are and not ask ATOT about what you should or should not be offended by. If you think you are offended by a clip of african women dancing on an add then you have issues. If you are not sure what you believe or what you feel is right you have even bigger issues. Your post makes you come across as someone who goes nuts at the drop of a hat. We as a society definetly dont need more of those types of people. Some of the dumb responses you are getting from people are a direct result of them not wanting another thin skinned ninny (not calling you this so dont get offended) to get mad about nothing. Sometimes you just have to let stuff slide. Even stuff that offends me, if it isnt worth getting worked up over then I dont. If me getting all mad and yelling isnt going to change it then I dont. Normaly getting mad and yelling doesnt help the situation anyway.

I think its time you did some reflecting on what you think is right and what your values are. Once you figure those out then you can decide for youself if you are offended by petty things. If you are then maybe you need to look a little closer at your priorities.

I hope you enjoyed the response its a hell of alot more helpful than my usual ones and you (ATOT) more than likely wont see another one like this for another 2 years.

Thanks Theo, you may go back to your one word posts for the next two years.

I'm not offended by the video, however I believe people should question what they see more often (not this video). If you let things slide too often, only the person letting the things slide is gonna get fvcked.

If you know me in person, you would know that I normally don't get mad/yell easily...infact I don't think I've ever yelled at someone before or have gotten mad at someone, irritated yes, but not mad.

you probably don't even know why i asked this question in the first place.

what I want to know is why didn't they include asians, indians, whites doing cultural things in the video?
