*Sigh* Cross cultural pollination is the inevitable result of a multi-cultural society. Cheap kitsch is the inevitable by-product of free market capitalism. The level of indignation tends to be inversely proportionate to how much of the market share you are getting.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to don blackface, vinyl lederhosen and a Chinese-made feather war bonnet for Halloween.
http://inukt.com/Browse/Product/2563/260/K… Yay, $50 concert t’s! Does D2 have these, yet?
Much ado about nothing.
Art is art, artists learn from other artists and adopt, adapt and improve upon the art of others.
I look forward to the day when FN put down their stone age drums and appropriate elements of Beethoven, Mozart, Strauss etc.
Same as Africa, silly op, and yet it seems to me “The Tribal Look” is going strong with all the hippies out there. Africa is vast. Hell it isn’t even one single country. And it certainly doesn’t have one single culture. And yet you same people who decry this speak of “Africa” as if it’s one place with one mind, one skin colour, one background and one universal set of needs and one explicit set of enemies.
You are the same people who use words like “Eurotrash” or “Asian Dub Foundation” or (my personal favourite) “The Muslims” who live everywhere on earth INCLUDING Africa, Europe, Asia and the Arab Peninsula.
As Crazy Eye Van says. You either want a multicultural world or you don’t. And if you do, and can’t stand how white folks dip into various cultures to learn more, to try and associate, to try and bridge gaps then YOU op are all about segregation.
Segregation op. No thanks. Not again.
Next up – the Nunavut legislative Assembly is pursuing a class action suit against British geeks, nerds, trainspotters and obsessive compulsives for culturally appropriating the anorak and giving it a bad name.
And now, Ladies and Gentlemen – the Drivers:

hmmmmm….. and just where does the biscuit fall?
But if she was 16% aboriginal and had status, it would be okay, right?
Pretty much. When I had cable APTN would showcase native fashion designers. A quick searched turned up this pretty quick http://www.nativeonline.com/fashion.htm
no offense, but that is a broken fucken link you computer illiterate scum sucking dirt bag luddite.
All of the links work for me, including the OB’s. Maybe your C64 isn’t plugged into your modem?
click this, shit for brains http://www.montrealgazette.com/travel/Firs…
I’m living proof multiculturalism works… I’m a Heinz 57.
Who the fuck cares?
Zed: i don’t know where the biscuit falls, but what I DO know is that when I was cleaning out my dead grandmother’s house I found a tiny replica of a teepee and a canoe out of birch bark. I gave it to biscuit and he exclaimed ‘NOW I’M A REAL INDIAN.’
Blackface=racist, not funny.
This=Art is commerce, plain and simple.
AN ILLITERATE POST
Can’t you paraphrase the content of the article in your own words? Do you have no language in which to do so and – horrors of horrors – then give something resembling an intelligent commentary? Are you illiterate?
I predict that shortly “Bitch” will consist simply of the exchange of old newspaper attachments and cartoons drawn from commercial sites. That will be all. There will be no more people. Only attachments and cartoons.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!

I’m sorry OP, I didn’t follow your link so this might be completely unrelated but since you’re all here:

Cranky, someone obviously fixed the link(but didn’t tell your highness about it), so go poo poo in your royal hand and slap your face with it.
Just saying.
I dressed up as a leprechaun in a Notre Dame football jersey and punched random women while out tonight. It’s okay though because I was honouring the Irish and I had a red wig on so it was totally okay.
Just to make it totally Irish, I peed myself a few times from being so drunk and would cry about my black potatoes; not to be confused with Mr. Sweet Potato Head.
If my costume offended anyone it’s simply because they’re too gosh-darn sensitive. Hey, crybabies, Nancy Grace is waiting for your call.

If I could like U.W.S’ comment a thousand times, I would.
Brilliant. >: )
really? The 1st comment was at 0620hrs. Maybe a cut&paste error on a users part.

It just reads so much better in German, doesn’t it

Like, one of the Tales of Hoffman, or something from the Brothers Grimm.
Who is this asshole Gobuystyle2?
Touche’ MM, couldn’t say it better.
Must be serious business if MM isn’t pleasured as always. ^^

You’re right Monstercock 5000 – I love that name – it is serious. As you have noted, I wasn’t pleasured as always. However, I also note that you were up late at night. The obvious question is, “What were you doing?” Does the answer involve some use of the word “pleasure”? Could you describe it for us? Could you do it now?
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
Lol, MM thinks 11:21pm on a Friday night is “up late”. Us craaaazy kids in our bellbottom trousers and, our rock and/or roll music!!!

Stephen, when I said Monstercock 5000 was “up late last night” I was referring to her, not me. At 11:21pm I’m just getting started. No, I think she couldn’t sleep. She was dreaming about her real-life Monstercock 5000, that large dildo she keeps in her closet for special occasions like last night. It was a Saturday night and she needed solace.
She got up out of bed and went to the closet door. She opened it. There is was, her Monstercock 5000, hanging on the wall. She retrieved it and returned to bed. She lay back with her legs fully apart. Taking the Monstercock 5000 in both hands, she positioned it carefully on her magnificent labia. She set the automatic vibrator dial to “light flutter.” Then she inserted it slightly between those slick magnificent labia. It started to flutter lightly. Her pleasure was immediate, but she knew that these things shouldn’t be rushed.
She re-set the automatic vibrator to “moderate cunnilingus.” The Monstercock 500 model was the top-of-the-line. A little tongue appeared at the end and started moderate cunnilingus. Her breathing became heavier. She began to arch her back. She reached down and re-set for “full heavy cunnilingus.”
Her hips began to undulate. She inserted Monstercock 5000 fully into her by now well-lubricated vagina which began to spasm. She knew that she was going to come soon. She re-set Monstercock 5000 to high-speed, full heavy cunnilingus. She started to groan with pleasure. She hit the “come” button on the Monstercock 5000. It came with a full fluid rush and she came at the same time with a screaming orgasm.
She sank back on the bed. She needed solace and, once again, her Monstercock 5000 came through.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
LOL MM, you just never stop.

What nonsense is this?
The next time someone who isn’t Scottish dons a Kilt, The Captain will be sure to experience an equally sever cultural shock. I mean seriously, this is only an issue because all of our non-native/non-indigenous cultures (those no longer distinguishable from one another) have been watered down and integrated into everyday society. There’s no Scottish culture to worry about being insensitive towards. Nor can a German get upset because people use sausages as an analogy for a penis. And no Irishman can get upset when everything is dyed green and saturated with alcohol, all in the name of their Patron Saint.
Sausage, anyone?
How about a round of Kung-Fu?
No? How about a Rain dance?
Some peace pudding?
…..some pita bread?
Yeah, everyone’s culture has been taken advantage of at one point. Usually for non-nefarious reasons; people see something they like in another culture and they adopt it or emulate it – unlike in the old days when if you saw something in another culture you liked or didn’t like you’d either kill the person and take it, or kill the person to stop it.
Just because a culture belongs to a ‘white’ population doesn’t mean it hasn’t been suppressed or persecuted against.
sure it does…
