Maybe the fat kid is an earlier version of Ginnivan. So he really is worshipping a future version of himself, but that future version is looking to sue the earlier version of himself.

Great Scott!

The OP’s grammar could do with some help too.

I shudder to think where this society will be 20 years from now….. in fact I can’t believe I have been drawn into commenting on this absolute rubbish….

While this is obviously an absolute non-story, I think it says a little about the way we live now that real-life stories of serial killers can be exploited for entertainment purposes by being turned into TV shows, flogged relentlessly on multi-million dollar streaming services and proliferate through popular culture, yet it somehow becomes the individual's responsibility to respond to those symbols in a cautious, spot-on manner or else risk inviting opprobrium. 0% structural politics or questioning why things are the way they are, 100% policing and spying on our fellow community members in order to punish transgressions. Cool and normal!

This is a Kane Cornes thread incognito.

Yes, I'd prefer what we currently have compared to any / more Government intervention.

Netflix did the same with Narcos - glorifying a mass murderer for entertainment. No one had a problem with that.

Gini is either gay or extremely gay-friendly, so this is a silly scandal.

I appreciate why the families are upset in general, but why not protest Netflix for capitalising on the events? Rather than some random athlete following the lead of pop culture.

A pathetic attempt at Pie bashing if ever I've see it. Please.

LOL.... reaching!


It was a great series too!

Yep fascinating, hard to believe he got away with so much, I confess I find movies about the various oddball serial killers fascinating. To crazy to be made up!

The various Narcos series are my guilty pleasure!

Someone please point me to the list of what is and isn't appropriate, I don't seem to have it.

Of course we need to stay woke, and remember offending one means everyone is offended, remember my truth or your truth are the facts, even if they're not factual.

We need to look for reasons to be offended, and protect those that don't seem to be offended themselves.

Dressing up as someone doesn't mean you are making a statement, agreeing with their actions, politics or opinions, in this case it was Halloween.

We will need to have a list published for next year on what you can and can't go as.

And Ginni's IQ being questioned could considered offensive (refer OP), he's a footballer not a doctor.

Ginni’s actually a victim, of serial killers who decapitate their victims in bad tackles.

Gutter licking clickbait tabloid crap, ignore it

Wow that’s an extremely long bow.
