Nick Kruger, are you God in Disguise?

*sigh*

Baiting should be a bannable offence. Seriously.

And taking the bait should atleast get someone suspended.

Life on PC used to be so much better...

 

[jkartik]

its things like these which reminds me again and again of the "Golden Era"
of PC and why my interest in Planetcricket is diminishing day by day.

No one is forcing you to stay. Just a joke and if people are silly enough to get upset by it, they need to get out more

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Problem with the internet is that

a) There will always be people making offensive jokes
b) There will always be people who don't get it and get offended


Best solution? Ban the both of 'em...

 

[Highlander999]

This isn't offensive, it's a joke

 

[ZoraxDoom]

It is quite offensive to RDF (It's making a mockery of his work, and not in a good way), and to all those who are really, really HUGE fans of Sachin Tendulkar (As it is straight forwardly dissing him by using an article to describe him to describe a virtually unknown cricketer).


I found it funny, honestly, but you could tell this was a mean spirited joke, meant to offend Sachin fans/RDF, and more importantly, meant to bait them and cause another small flame war till this thread was closed.

And that's what sickens me. Just stop it already, please. The baiters and the baitees. Just quit it. Stop fighting.

Didn't read much of it (or the original article) but this made me laugh so hard -

"Kruger, kya yaar! Ghanta greatest batsman hai tu. Great batsmen don't get out on 10 runs when the team needs them - This is a statement you hear when Queensland, in dire need of a magical Kruger knock is disappointed.

:laugh:laugh

Funny, but apart from being ridiculously plagiarized, I wasn't even asked for my permission to use my Article for tomfoolery of this sort. Next time, be courteous enough to ASK!

rahuldravidfan added 7 Minutes and 36 Seconds later...

For starters, add a link to the original article in your post - Sachin Tendulkar- Are you GOD in disguise?

A 3 month ban for blake,isn't it mods?

 

[barmyarmy]

Satire is satire.
I think it would have been nice for Blake to ask permission but the actual article is a funny look at the hype and bubble that surrounds Tendulkar.

Oh well, you stick yourself in the spot-light you gotta except the banter which comes with it. Remember when I got made mod and all the Yuvraj banter that followed me around. Just a bit of a fun and as Colin said a very funny, well written article.

RDF needs to lighten up and get off his own soap-box if he is upset about this.

RDF doesn't mind humour. But as Colin said,

Ask for the person's permission before you use his article. Thats all I've said !

 

[Highlander999]

You posted it in a completely different tone to Colleen

 

[pcfan123]

If you ban Blake for this then you might as well ban me with him because I will go on a mother tweaking tear on this forum.

Brilliant stuff blake, keep it up!

 

[Dare]

funny way to put a spin on the article.
what happened to peoples sense of humor?
