Roos pull 'sick' video off the Net

[RoosterLad]

For those of you saying that it was a 'joke' gone wrong... can you explain to me where the humor was meant to be?

Can you explain what was wrong with it? I mean it was a rubber chicken making sweet love to a ready to roast chicken.. that is comedy gold and just a bit of Aussie humour.

Now you can please explain what is so wrong about it and why it degrades women.

Shouldn't the question be where is the serious side meant to be in a skit. Do people go ape shit over south park or movies depicting women being killed in action movies.

Adrian Anderson is saying the players responsible will be "sanctioned" by the club in addition to taking "collective responsibility".

On SEN they're saying the 7 players responsible for making the vid will be named in a newspaper tomorrow.

Something tells me this issue is not going to go away in a hurry.

The club's decision not to name the players, as I said, is dumb. The names will be the point of speculation and they will be named eventually anyway. The matter would be almost dead now but instead the media will still be all over it tomorrow. Cover ups rarely work.
Name them, shame them, let them apologise and the matter is closed. until then it is the point of media and public speculation that has every player under suspicion.

Maybe it was the warm up act for Essendon trying to play football.

 

[RuthlessRichmond]

This all seems quite paltry to me!

Degrading to women.... please, welcome to the world of political correctness gone mad.

Boys will and can be boys if they want.

 

[budge11]

lol... I can see why some people would be offended but... come on, I'm sure the players involved don't feel that way towards woman... this is such a beat up.

 

[RoyalBlue]

I'd like to see those responsible officially dubbed the "Poultry Sum".

Close the thread.

 

[Zondor]

Gday Z how are u mate? This video is the most shocking thing i've seen since Ariana Jollee's last movie.

Yeah shocking indeed. Just like Ariana's work in Spring Chickens 4.

Of course, there were also people in the media who were adamant that whatever Shannon Grant did last season was a heinous crime "it had to be - otherwise why would they suspend him?" was more or the less the quote of one 'senior' footy writer on a certain TV show when questioned as to how she knew Grant had done something really bad.
As I understand it, turns out Grant simply broken a team guideline forbidding drinking on a particular weekend.
But she hung him out to dry, without even knowing the facts.

The dead heterosexual chickens have a powerful lobby group.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Just watched the 'edited' version on the Herald Sun website. Friggin funny stuff.

Unbelievable reaction by the media, i sent the link around to about 40 people at work and had a 100% 'thats hilarious, i want to see the video' reaction...and that included about 20 women.

Phil Cleary and the over the top killjoy do gooders can get stuffed, and i would have the same feelings no matter what club was involved.

Memo to the media (especially The Age): there is a massive earthquake in Italy and a former aussie champion cyclist has just passed away....where are your priorities????

I actually got the mX today feeling a bit worried as I figured that if anyone would make this front page news, it'd be them.

First time I've ever been happy to see North Melbourne related news all the way back on page 15. Even they went with the cyclist who recently died as their lead story.

 

[theduckfan]

What has the world come to?

How a joke about a rubber chicken and a real chicken can be seen as hatred or degradation to women is plain stupid.

In no way, shape or form does that video show abuse, offense or anything like that to women, it was a video with ****ing chickens FFS.

Phil Cleary has run his mouth of for no reason this time, it is not offensive to women, for all we know it the chickens could both be male.

Lighten up a bit, some seriously big time beat up by the media here.

Reading the first line of the article you would have thought that something bad (real sex tape) had been made, read on an you find it's just a little joke, taken to far by the media.

 

[snapperbowler]

I nearly drove off the road when I heard Adrian Anderson on the radio.

This whole issue is making me so mad.

It's the journalist who labled the chicken a woman.

The chicken is a chicken and any degrading has been done by the media.

 

[giantroo]

Great to see other clubs supporters showing their support.

LOL at those 2 individual Essendon supporters who received a pounding.

 

[__aria__]

i know for a fact that the chicken was a man

Yep, noticed it Kate. Did you read the headline on the front page though?

This was it:

"Kangas Chicken Livid But..... No Names, No Games missed"

Since when does a player get dropped for something as stupid as this? I tell ya, the players might be stupid, but the media are a lot worse.

 

[The Other Dean]

Imagine the scandal if that other chicken had have been fried.

 

[Roosurgence]

Just watched the Herald Sun edited version and **** me what a beat up.

They are really clutching at straws with this. I thought the music chosen was used to make Little Boris seem like a tough gangster, hip hop character.

Laughed when Anderson said it was degrading. All I could think of was how much this arseclown continues to degrade the game we call football.

Typical AFL response though, scared that a small minority will be turned away from the game.... get a grip AFL!

BTW I thought it was some funny shit the edited version.

Spot on Franga and let me say I thought your cameo in the Little Borris Movie was great.

Anyways the priority of The Age is to make CASH. Sad but True.

Just because it had a cut and shut doesn't make it a lady. Damn you media.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

A rubber chicken taking a frozen chicken on a date is funny. A rubber chicken performing sex acts with a frozen chicken is a bit weird, but I can see how some people would still find it amusing. Running the whole thing with the song they chose and throwing the "date" under a van at the end kind of takes the fun out of it for me. I don't think making the association with women is extraordinary given the soundtrack.

Don't bring logic and reasoning into this. Seriously if you try and logically deduce all the ways this a typical media beat-up your brain will explode.

Just sit back with a bucket of KFC, and give each piece a nice hard ****, as a means of protest against media sensationalism.

 

[Rippednew1]

Sam Lanecheap journalism from a terrible journo.

Phil Clearycheap shot at males in general, wrong case to condemn man.

Bewick No show at presser, couldve taken one for the team.

Laids No show at presser, strangely quiet.

Whoever put this on youtube arseh*le.

Players get a brain, your public property.

Laids No show at presser, strangely quiet.

Actually, given Laids' record in terms of media performance- which can politely be described as not stellar- I understood that one.
