UK "Burns" the White House

[Ian Anderson]

BBC News - UK embassy apologises for 'burning White House' tweet

Can nothing be celebrated without someone else taking offence?

 

[Pete McCluskey.]

They have had a sense of humour bypass..

 

[Mark]

I suppose most People over there, don't know that is why the White House is white!?

 

[Jack]

Ithought it was funny...but I'm a WOGG!

 

[Steve]

Funny if it's Graham Norton. If you're the embassy it's in poor taste and more than a little douchy.

And Mark, every 5th grader knows that's why it's white. . . . . And most have likely forgotten by 18.

 

[Jack]

Yes, in poor taste but still funny.

Can nothing be celebrated without someone else taking offence?

Obviously not. Not on a personal OR international level. There are those who make CAREERS out of looking for things to be "offended" about these days...not to mention lawyers who are more than willing to litigate over them.

But, as regards the particular Brit action referenced in the "offensive tweet" above; we pathetic, rag-tag 'colonists' somehow managed to kick your Royal, Imperial, 'stuffy', prim 'n' proper Brit butts regardless, 'innit'. :lol:
