Review - Far Cry 3. Best reviewer since Zero Punctuation

Quboid says...

That was surprisingly good, and I managed to understand pretty much all of it.

I was wondering how much of it non-Brits could understand. Hell, even some Brits would struggle with that accent. But it's nye problem for me!

Stewart Lee - Political Correctness Gone Mad

"What knockers" - once a compliment, now a restraining order

Quboid says...

Exactly - political correctness has little, if anything to do with it (and I don't think @radx actually meant otherwise in his/her title). It's a joke, it's funny because it's well scripted and well acted and that's timeless.

It seems there are many people saying political correctness has gone too far (and IMHO sometimes it does) while others say modern society is too liberal and decency has gone out the window (and IMHO sometimes it has). On the whole, we are now allowed, to a point, to express ourselves but are no longer allowed to call people of a different race insulting names, for example.

It's not perfect, but I think we're in a much better place now than, say, 60 years ago when women weren't allowed to wear short skirts but you could bar black people from entering your business.

When I hear the phrase "it's political correctness gone mad", I hear "now when I'm a bigoted asshole, someone will call me out on it".

Stewart Lee sums my feelings up pretty well (edit: damn, the video's dead).

See, the thing is that this is an actual joke. Multiple meanings of the word "knockers", potential embarrassment on the part of Dr. Frankenstein, unexpected grace when Inga accepts the 'compliment'; there's a lot going on in a seemingly simple joke. Too many contemporary movies would just have a big slob walk up to a woman, stare at her breasts, and say, "What a huge rack!" and consider that to be somehow funny.
