Surely this is political correctness going to far. The day we let Yo mamma jokes become a punishable offense is the day we turn the AFL oval into a childrens playground is it not? Poor form by both umpire and Pettard to blow the matter out of proportion.

Does she wear army boots?

Social engineering via "role models" continues. The world is slowly being overtaken and controlled by precious tossbags.

Soon we won't be able to have a normal conversation without a lawyer present.

I think we should fight back by contributing 100 "Yo momma" jokes as a protest against PC insanity.

1) BTW Coledinho, your mother is so fat that when she steps on the scales it says...'to be continued'

Here's how this thread will play out:

WCE fans will think it's a joke and PC gone too far
Melbourne fans will think the book should be thrown at him
Everyone else will sit on either side of the fence.

PS: Your momma's so fat that when she gets in an elevator, it HAS to go down.

 

[andypie]

News reports are saying he has appologised.
If that is the case, why is this not the end of it?
P.S your mommas so fat, when she sits on the toilet it says "get off me"

Running parallel with the Milne thread where his lawyer has threatened to sue some spectators for insulting him....it will be interesting to comapre the threads...

I didn't read anything in that link about Pettard complaining or blowing the matter out of proportion.

What a joke, shouldn't need to apologise, and the umpire should be told to shut the hell up. Leave that stuff on the field.

No but if you watch the game, Petterd was having a nice heated yarn with the umps and a lot of finger-pointing after things died down.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Did he make the allegation that Petterd's mother is in actual fact his father?

Pettard talked to the umpire and pointed to McGinnity after it happened.

Hmm they changed the article from last night it seems. Before it said Pettard told the controlling umpire what was said and the umpire then lodged a complaint in Pettards behalf

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

[alfy!]

need photos of petterd's mother

 

[MaddAdam]

I have just asked Melbourne fans in the office if there's anything known about his Mum that could be considered vilification: if she has a disability etc. That would be pretty offside.

But if it is just general 'Your Mum' stuff, then toughen Melbourne princesses.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

umpires remind me of the teachers pets at school crying and dobbing at every little thing. they should just go **** themselves. sick of this precious politically correct society were heading to. screw the stupid parents, media, so called professionals and tools that are pushing it that way.

 

[Gone Critical]

Worlds gone mad

Control freaks are in charge. Dont they understand you cant police everything nor should you want to

 

[ManWithNoName]

Whoever Melbourne play next week, I want their fans to sing John Lennon's "Mother" at the top of their voice.

Pink Floyds "Mother" would be better. That one's mother is a control freak.

as long as we don't become victims of rampant hyperbolism!

Yo mumma's so fat she has her own postcode.

So she DOES wear army boots????

As long as its not the Police's "Mother". That song sucks big time.

 

[new breed]

McGinnity is a very funny lad , stand up comic material when he retires !

 

[ManWithNoName]

Am I the only one thinking the AFL's overreaction here is an attempt to be seen doing something about verbal abuse, in the wake of the whole Collingwood fans/Milne thing?

 

[Marlin01]

Is this the logical extension of the racial vilification laws? Who decides what is considered banter and what is considered vilification? Can you make fun of someone with red hair, for example?
