fellow Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Whilst reading The Daily Mail website I came across this cartoon which I happened to find quite amusing. However, upon reading the comments section, I was shocked to find that most of the readers disagree as they believe it is sick and that it encourages animal cruelty. Am I missing something here? Are people really going to go and put their pets in the oven after viewing this cartoon? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1346981/Mac--soaring-petrol-prices.html Link to post Share on other sites
Pauly_Boy Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 The key word here is the word 'joke'! It's a example of society that is slowly being created after our debt binge! Link to post Share on other sites
libspero Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Don't know why the dog's smiling.. who does he think will be Sunday roast? Link to post Share on other sites
Number79 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I didnt think it was funny because I can see how many people will be struggling. The cat was irrelevant imo and anyone on about animal cruelty because of that cartoon needs a good hard kick in the nuts to give them a reality check. Link to post Share on other sites
Tiger Woods? Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Don't know why the dog's smiling.. who does he think will be Sunday roast? The cat is a HPCer. Mum and dad are our political masters. The children are the general public. The dog is a mewed out BTLer who's "done well" over the past 10 years. I thought the cartoon was mildly amusing...perhaps quite funny if the irony of the dog salivating is taken into consideration. The Wood's household loves cats and loathes animal abusers - much discussion of lynching and worse. However, we often threaten our self basting Mau with the oven if she doesn't stop stuffing herself. People need to stop taking the world so literally. Link to post Share on other sites

HPC=dream Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 It would be more relalistic if it showed the 50" plasma in the lounge, iPad on the table and Range Rover in the drive. Oh and some twigs in a vase. Link to post Share on other sites
24gray24 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 I found it rather old fashioned. Like a joke from the 1970's. Link to post Share on other sites
