With comedy It can be very funny just like most things in life. Maybe you are unaware that Payback is ALWAYS poking fun.

I have a hard time finding suicide funny. A joke about suicide has to be pretty spectacular for me to not feel uncomfortable. We all have OUR things based on OUR experiences. If you want to get bent about someone joking about 'road safety', that's on you. I do however understand why you would feel this way based on your job as a paramedic, and what that has comes with.

Bonus hilarious joke about suicide

Oh youre so right, I really fancy arguing that there is no battery here, perhaps common assault but who gives a fuck... Seriously dude, you need to get off that high horse and realise your opinions are as inconsequential as the very short period of time this vid will be visible and about as important. Meanwhile why don't you spend your energies somewhere more meaningful, like lying down in the road to peacefully protest whatever it is that Peace Will Find a Way Weekly tells you is flavour of the month - perhaps articulated lorries. This is all rather boring now and lets face it, yesterdays news. You go ahead and butthurt rage a little more, i'm moving on. Peace out Mannnn.

{edit} gah im breaking my golden rule of not arguing with retards on vs, ah well. You think everyone should research the vagaries of common assault vs battery before commenting on a video about someone trying to grab the olympic torch... hokay. How about I stick to commenting on the video at hand and leave the shouty shouty nerd rage to the people like yourself, who try to turn every post into an emotional battle, presumably because thats how you get your emotional needs met rather than learning how to interact in the real world. Im sorry you feel that way, hope you get fixed soon. Im going to leave you alone now.
So, in other words, you were completely wrong, got schooled, and now you're playing the "waaah, I'm not talking to you" card. About what I'd expect...

The ideal of peaceful protest is one of the great propaganda victories of repressive government.
'You can have your little protest as long as you don't actually try to accomplish anything. We can steal billions of public money to fund a PR stunt for our nationalist authority, effectively equivalent to several days of forced labour for everyone in the UK, but if you try to grab a torch we bought with your money then you're a violent criminal.'

Er, yeah, if you assault someone then you are a violent criminal. Quelle fucking surprise.
And I never said you couldn't be disruptive. He could have gotten a group of people to lie down on the road in front of the torch bearer, he could have streaked along side her, he could have done something vaguely clever or even funny. A funny story will bring attention to your cause (see the Yes Men and the Arctic Ready campaign).
Unfortunately, those things require wit and imagination, two attributes he clearly lacks.
Meanwhile, most of the rest of us simply don't give a fuck. Why? Because, frankly, the Olympics ranks pretty low on the list of things to be concerned about.

If I spit in your direction with the intent of hitting you and I miss it's assault. Look it up. If you try to hit someone with your fist and connect it's battery. Maybe you should actually learn about laws before you talk shit about them.
>> ^thumpa28:
That was assault was it? The bit where she had to hang onto the torch? Actually the torch was assaulted. Maybe you should shout about olympic torch rights in block! Angry Angry huff huff.

Good for this guy, Hate the olympics, not usually but im a londoner. Not allowed to wear pepsi t-shirts, eat non-mcdonald fries, use a mastercard in the olympic village, zil lanes, not allowed to link to the locog website with 'derogatory' comments, locog refusing to release ticket details because all the prestige events sold to sponsors... All organised by that smug git Lord Coe. The sport comes a distant second.

For the sake of argument, let's agree that the Olympics was a once great idea hijacked by corporate marketing and political interests.
Now tell me where you think that gives anyone the right to fucking assault some poor woman.
