oh man thats cold. but funny

[bodoyle]

When the saints took the field they played the song when the levy breaks by Zepplin.

they were "americas fu**ing team" screw that. welcome to the NFL where my Bears stomped their a$$e$!!!

[Lionsrking]

oh man thats cold. but funny

It's not the least bit funny, especially when some of those comments were directed at a guy who lost his wife and son in the storm. Until you've gone through it or know people who have, you have no freakin' idea!!!

[BEAR]

You know, living in Arkansas we saw countless refugees move here and even make their homes here permanently. I have heard stories of watching loved ones get swept away to their deaths. I have been a bear fan since 1985, my youth, and have kept with the team all these years. I don't blame them for this. But that classless fan should have been punched for that...punk.....not funny in the least.:nonono2: :nonono2: :nonono2: :nonono2: :nonono2: :nonono2: :nonono2: :nonono2:

[slycat]

that sign is horrible. i hope its just some sicko who made it on photoshop.

If that's true, that's funny. Cold, but funny!

[mistersykes]

I have a pretty good sense of humor usually, but that isn't funny at all.

[AZGrizFan]

Looks photoshopped to me. The letters run of the bottom of the paper. :nono:

That sign was not photoshopped. Several friends of mine who went to the game saw it and it was photographed many times. The letters are construction paper cut outs taped or pasted to a poster, that's why they hang off the bottom.

[ISUMatt]

I live in/near CHicago...I dont think that sign was funny at all, but remember this, Chicago is a FOOTBALL TOWN...all we heard about was how the Saints are Americas Team and how they were destined to win because of Hurricane Katrina...Although extremely tragic, the Katrina card was played WAY TOO MUCH for that football game...so of course some fans have no class, and after being absolutely tired of hearing about the team of Destiny (Saints) someone in a group of 65,000 was bvound to make a sign like that...Of couse all Bears fans are not classless, just 1 in particular

[ISUMatt]

Plus look at him, hes no older than a college kid, what do you expect

I'm a season ticket holder for the Browns and our fans are probably the meanest in the whole NFL. (we're always in a bad mood):eyebrow: We tailgate every week and some of the stuff that goes on against the other team and their fans is just really really cold and vicious.

But I have NEVER seen anything like that! If I was a Saints Fan there I would have had to rip that thing up and take my chances.

[Purple Pride]

Or at least loot his letters.:D

You would have ended up in a hospital in intensive care.

Not talking smack, just stating a fact. Us Chicagoans are split on baseball, but we are all the same on football.

[ButlerGSU]

I would have stole his silly hat or pants'd the guys stupid friend wearing gym shorts when its 24 degrees.

[ISUMatt]

MANLAW: Baseball may split the fans of Chicago, but Football shall unite it!!!

[Marcus Garvey]

The righteous indignation being expressed by people over this sign, including those on this board, is well..... :rolleyes:

[patssle]

How did you guys make it through college?

[lambertjr]

It's just in bad taste. I don't care who you root for.

[HIU 93]

I root for the Bears, but that is WAAAAAYYYYYY out of line.

[DUPFLFan]

So we are judging all Bears Fans based on one idiot?

Gee that means there are about 10 million others that aren't...

[crunifan]

I'm sorry but I find it funny.

My views on Katrina are different than most though. So I won't start on that...

[The Gadfly]

PEOPLE ARE DEAD DUE TO THIS STORM! And you find this funny?!?! ARE YOU F#CKING STUPID!? I don't care about your stupid fan fare, your politics, or region, this is not the least bit funny. Yes, this kid is extremely classless and so is the Bear's front office for allowing that song to be played. What the f#ck is wrong with you people. : flamemad

News: Sun Rises in East.

[crunifan]

Okay, so, I feel compelled, call me heartless, call me cruel...

With a hurricane, you have DAYS to prepare. And what do I mean by prepare? LEAVE THE DAMN CITY! If you chose to stay, and something happened to you I have absolutely ZERO sympathy for you. Note, it is completely different had you wanted or were unable to leave. But when I watch the news before storms and see the stupid ass southerner going "ohh, I've riden out so many of these, its no big deal" I honestly couldn't care less if your house blows down.

Every region in the US has dangerous weather we have to cope with. In the Midwest it is tornadoes. You don't see the south, or the east getting all concerned when a tornado rampages Iowa City. Hell, the news probably doesn't even report it there. But I'm supposed to donate money to people who were too darn stupid to get out of New Orleans when they had three days warning?

Now, I truely feel sorry for people that did leave and their house was ruined. I feel sorry for families that lost pets. I feel sorry for families that had no way to escape and died.

I'll prepare to be beaten alive now...

No argument here. Only thing is, if you leave, you miss the specials.

I agree 100% and to add one more thing. I have no sympathy for the people in general. I understand it has been a town for ever. But to build your houses in flood planes and even below sea level. Maybe being from the mountains makes me an idiot but it sure doesn't take a genius to decide: Let me see, should I build my house on that hill over there, or should I build a bunch of earthen channels to hold the water back and build below the river?

:twocents:

One thing I would not do if a tornado came through and killed your family is to make a stupid sign making fun of their deaths or what caused their deaths. I would not even consider the idiot who made the sign funny at all. And what the F#CK is worth a damn thing in IOWA? What sadistic ancestry would have their posterity be tortured in such a wasteland? Actually I feel worst for those in Iowa than in Louisiana. I'll send you donations to get you the hell out of there. Poor things. :(

Sick, twisted, disgusting.

[MarkCCU]

that is classeless!!!!!!!!

[bodoyle]

I agree with cruni on this one.

When hurricanes came by Coastal, I went inland. It's a novel idea.

When we have tornados here in the midwest, we are not given days notice, maybe 20 minutes at the most. I go in my basement, or if I am driving I go in a ditch or go in a store and go where they tell me to go.

You do what you're told to do. It's a novel idea.

I would much rather lose my house and my crap inside it then stay there and watch myself get blown to smithereens, or get impailed on a tree branch, drown etc.

Some people honestly can't get out or get far enough from the storm. Many people stay in thier homes beliving hey can ride it out. Let me ask you something, have you ever been in a Cat. 4 hurricane? Ever had tree's crash through your house, 5 yards away from your entire family? Ever been stuck in your neighborhood because tree's, cars, homes are in the road and it takes 5 days for the city, and military cut you out b/c at day 2 you and your neighbors run out of gas to operate the chainsaws? Ever walked out of your home and had snakes, alligators sitting on your front lawn? I have. Like I said, some people have no real way of getting out. Walking out of town isn't much of an option...

I think he was saying leave prior to the arrival of the hurricane.

I agree. I lived through Hugo. It was ugly, and we missed the brunt of the storm. If you can't leave, you can't leave.

[patssle]

How did you guys make it through college where even the sickest things are made into jokes.

Espesially if you are a threatre or radio/television major.

[MarkCCU]

Yup. I was in Charleston, 5 miles from the Battery, Hugo is one memory that I won't let go no matter how hard I try. If you can't leave, you're stuck...

Joking about the death of thousands is never funny. Now, i'm make jokes all the time but you don't joke about Natural Disasters, the Dead, handicapped people...some things are off limits

[crunifan]

Did people not read what I said? I said if you couldn't leave then I do truely feel sorry for you. But this "I'm gonna ride it out" is complete stupidity to me. It's not like a hurricane springs up over night, you have days to prepare and evacuate. And if you CHOOSE to stay and something happends to you...tough s**t. So again, if you couldn't leave for whatever reason, I feel sorry if something happened. But I do not feel one drop of remorse for the idiots that choose to stay and fight it out and then wind up dead.

Cat: I've had 300mph tornados on my block. I got in my car and left. Others who didnt have cars ran outside the track of the twister.

When you have a week or so to get off your duff to go somewhere, you can find someway to go inland within those 168 hours.

Sorry for the double post

[bodoyle]

I'm not joking about it at all cat. But when you have that much time, you can go somewhere. They were not homeless bums before the hurricane came. They had a place to live and somehow managed to get to a store for food and drink on a regular basis. Like I said before, if this just popped up in the Gulf and only a 24 hour notice, ok, but it was atleast a weeks notice that was given.

[GoldandBlack]

Back to the original question - is this Bears fan classless?

Good Lord, of course he is! Look at his friggin' hat - he looks like a charter member of Fairies for Smokey the Bear club.

If he ever stops making signs, he can become a designer for kidnapping notes.

Would you want this guy in front of your stadium representing your team?

I'm a Bears fans, and I think this guy is a dork.

[The Gadfly]

I've had several warnings living on the SC coast most of my life and take them with a grain of salt because you never know if it will hit until the last 48 - 24 hours. Plus the power of most hurricanes are extremely overrated by the weather "experts" on the Weather Channel, so most tend to ignore them.

[citdog]

I lived here during Hugo as well and don't ever want to go through anything like that EVER again. Chucktowne didn't have the looting problems though because on the local news the night the storm hit our Black, and Jewish Chief of Police Rueben Greenberg told the people "We've got no place to put you the jail is full if we catch you looting we're gonna beat you up"! People believed him.

[Cleets]

That's right. Greenberg handcuffed people to fences and left them there. We didn't take any ****. We didn't bitch about rebuilding. I don't ever want to expierence a Hugo ever again. Anything less I'll stay because I know the power.

I know, I remember. But when you are poor(section 8, etc...) you honestly can't afford to pick up and leave. It's a harsh reality


I know you aren't joking. I'm just saying joking about that stuff in general. It wasn't directed at you.

[lizrdgizrd]

Yeah, sure is a shame that the Federal Government has to be asked by the State Government to help out in a natural disaster. :rolleyes:

Can you tell me what in the blue hell race and religion have to do with a hurrican hitting?

[MarkCCU]

Can you tell me what in the blue hell race and religion have to do with a hurrican hitting?

nothing, but it was a deal when Rueben started. He's a great guy, he was at my Grandfathers funeral(former Cop) and was just an allaround great man. He did a great service to Charleston
