Olympics opening ceremony director sacked for Holocaust joke

The decision to remove Kentaro Kobayashi comes a day before the opening show is due to be held.

I'm down for watching the opening ceremony now!

Although I'm sure being Japan they'll be fine.

 

[Scouse]

The fucking left raking up stuff that 50 year old men did when they were at school to get them sacked.

What a whiny pussy whipped snowflake planet we've made.

lol.

'the fucking left'

It's Japan, like Germany I think their policies on political history is pretty much the same across the spectrum, apart from the far right ofc.

Feel free to criticise the policy, but it's pretty incorrect to stick it on 'the fucking left'.

Also it's pretty awkward if say Israel shows up and the director of the Olympics has said some anti-Semitic shit when their country was once allied to Germany.

It would have caused a diplomatic incident in the 'good old days' too.

 

[Scouse]

Yes. The fucking left.

No-one else is digging up shit on what people did at school, or something someone said about fat people, or jokes made in the 90's that are now no longer "acceptable" in this day and age. That entire environment and way of thinking is the fucking left.

The fucking left. Nobody else.

You've been drinking way too much Trump juice, friend.

 

[Raven]

Some guy quit because he said women talk too much in meetings.

They do, end of story.

 

[Raven]

Oh ands it's not necessarily "the left" it's just people with too much time on their hands.

Trawl through anyone's posting history here and some of it is not something people would want on their CV.

Fuck social media.

 

[Aoami]

the right can't meme / use the internet

Well, I don't really believe in the whole left-right thing (as I've posted many times). But how about "touchy anti-free speech wankers who want to enforce their social morality on the planet".

Those cunts.

 

[Gwadien]

"touchy anti-free speech wankers who want to enforce their social morality on the planet".

But this is where I disagree.

Who are these people? Because all I see is shit being released and then organisations responding to how they think they should respond.

For all we know it could be far-right figures finding this shit and taking advantage of stuff that they're against.

organisations respond how they think the world requires them to respond. To avoid a shit storm.

They respond as per the twitter meltdown that their comments might cause. Very few people give a shit but again, they base their opinion on the optics of social media. People are empty, companies have to pander to vacuous folk, because they are noisy af.

 

[Scouse]

Who are these people?

What? You want a list of names? I know the left loves lists of names.

The type of person is the "touchy anti-free speech wankers who want to enforce their social morality on the planet". There's fucking loads of them - hence the shit we see now.

4chan boards have been doing that kind of thing for years and years.

Fuck social media.

I hate social media and how people use it, I setup a twitter account just to use a support function then deleted it.

Anyway, watching the opening ceremony. It would be nice to think we can build on our previous successes, but it might be a funny year with everything gone on, also athletes dropping like flies.

Let's see how doped we are

Anyone know any North Korean bookies? Might stick a tenner on them winning it.

Also, I'm pretty sure Adlington's konk has grown since she stopped swimming.

 

[Gwadien]

I do wish the commentators would shut the fuck up apart from good information, constantly having a chat over the whole thing ruins it.

Also, aren't these opening ceremonies about art? It would be nice if you could interpret that art for yourself...

 

[Raven]

Did they forget to mic up the tapdancer? lol

I've the 2012 London Olympics on Blu-ray, I made sure I have each audio track including the one without commentary.

Very good day for the brits so far!

 

[Deebs]

Peaty's live interview was fucking brilliant

 

[Embattle]

He is a beast.

 

[Raven]

Rugby 7s!

 

[Aoami]

I went to the 7s at Twickenham a couple of years ago. It's absolute carnage there. I was absolutely off my tits by about 3 in the afternoon.

 

[Raven]

GB getting mauled.
