And then everyone goes to town on Mools.

Do you guys agree with yourselves or not? I'm confused :-)

But consider this: I am thinking of another sticker for Toyotas - "Made with the latest technology, not knives and forks". Trouble is without a racist stereotype it doesn't even make sense does it?

And before everyone goes on the attack recognise that there are a variety of views, opinions, people and races on this forum. It is not whether you mean to cause offence or not - it is if you actually cause offence to the reader.

Drover I think you knew your post would cause offence - hence your disclaimer. Why are you even surprised you got a bite?

Very well put. It's a bit rich isn't it.

The racist card is a tricky one.
I am a foreigner and grew up in Oz since the age if 2. I would not consider
that sticker racist or take offence to it, but accept that others may.

Can't please everyone.

especially on AULRO

Whatever happened to that song "We are one, we are Australian, ect"
I for one am sick of people pulling the racist card when ever their views are not taken as gospil. We are Ozzies, not African Ozzie, not Japanese Ozzie, not Lebanese Ozzie, JUST OZZIE.
For ****'s sake

STREWTH!

The joke of the future

A ***** walks (sorry may offend disabled (sorry can't call them that anymore) into a **** and says (sorry may offend persons who do not have English as a first language) to the *****, Hey that a funny ( sorry may not be funny to every person in the establishment at that time due to a religious festival that may or not be being celebrated at the time) that you are wearing (sorry may offend those persons who are confirmed naturists and as such do not wear clothing which may or may not be too revealing and may or may not offend persons of another ethnic or religious background).

This is about as silly as it gets and it is only going to get worse. Soon we will all have to have a disclaimer before and after posts, e-mails, texts so as to not offend anyone. What a boring monoculture of nothing we are becoming.

What happened to the Australia we knew where you copped some and gave some back all in the name of fun.

Come on AULRO, overeacting much!?
This sticker and the reaction to it does not signal the end of Australia as you know it! Calm down.

I dont think any one in this post is truely outraged by the 'chopsticks' joke. Used around the campfire for engaging in western vs asian 4x4 car banter it would raise a chuckle - nothing wrong with it. But it is not so funny that it deserves to be constantly repeated and promoted on your car.

I think the air of disaproval in this thread is more about its format (a printed sticker) and that there are suggestions it should be stuck onto a Land Rover!

Why people feel the need to stick tasteless jokes or risky whitissisms on their cars is beyond me. I expect these kind of 'dont give a ****' stickers from the Pootrol/Nissan jacked up 4x4 hooning bunch but not you friendly Land Rover Owners!


If I see this sticker on a Defender, you will not be getting a landy wave from me - you have been warned
