I assume all the big VIC clubs are now demanding they play the Giants in the first few rounds.
If we cop multiple suspensions Tigers may be back in the running but otherwise it will be Bombers with the Stringer angle to promote it .Slight chance of Heavenly Swans versus evil Giants another angle that could be promoted .. Watch them promote Port v Hawks after fining Kenny 20,,000.Nothing surer.

Why would you dress up as twin towers geez like that isn’t going to ruffle a few feathers ey
Twin Towers is literally one of the most joked about events on the internet. You type "9/11" into Instragram right now and you will see thousands and thousands of jokes about it. The Family Guy clip has been posted, the Norm McDonald joke is posted. In his most recent comedy show Shane Gillis does a hilarious joke about an Australian in the twin towers on 9/11 "oh ****, get down - naaauuurrr" Bizarre that people find it offensive.
 
Reading between the lines, a skit featuring a person dress as Jarryd Hayne and a sex doll, could never end well.

If he replicated anything that allegedly happened, then he crossed a line he shouldn't have. I assume this is why he is in the most trouble.






 
What are you actually on about?

As Jim Spigelman (one of Australia's grreatest legal minds) once said, there is no right not to be offended. That is the very essence of free speech.

Want to use big words like reducive? Possibly the most reducive thing I have read on this thread is you saying the threshold for what is acceptable expression through soeech or behaviour is that if one person out of thousands or millions is offended, it crosses that threshold.
And there is no right to freedom from consequences.

Womp womp.

There’s dark humour and dark “humour”. The first is addressing dark topics in a humorous way typically with word play or making fun of the bad thing.

The second is just saying/doing horrible things (sexist, racist, etc.) and pretending it’s fine because it’s a “joke”

Given they are suggesting there was simulated sexual assault. This falls into the second category.
 
100% this. Approaching a member of female staff to ask them about a work-related issue they caused is fraught with danger. You basically have to remain expressionless and speak without any emotion. Even if they have in fact caused the issue.
And make sure you don’t do it alone, because that could be misinterpreted. And don’t do it on a group, because that’s too public.
