Had to google who Curtis Scott was. Just another in the procession of dopey, faceless shitbags who have collectively turned Rugby League into a non-event these days.

Interpersonal issues with her kids, her co-workers and at least one student. The common denominator wasn't Curtis Scott, shitbag though he might be.

The “hooka looka mooka hooka fooka” case is before the courts. Ms Molan is arguing that it's not her go and was an in joke.

I think it's fair. In 2021, making fun of foreign language elements is obviously a dig at the clueless merkins who can't pronounce it or still think it's funny. It is meta-humour, coming from a place of irony.

Not quite right. In this case it is not a person who was offended by the hooka looka mooka hooka fooka jibe, it's the utterer of the hooka looka mooka hooka fooka who says she is defamed by the publication that suggested that she was being racist.

The courts will look at it and apply a well worn test "if it is likely to cause ordinary reasonable persons to think less of the plaintiff or shun, ridicule or avoid her". Another test applied by the courts is whether the words have "the tendency to lower the person in the estimation of reasonable members of the community".

So do you think that the court will find in her favour, that the hooka looka mooka hooka fooka joke would not have been taken by a reasonable person as racist and hence she was defamed ?

I don’t think the case has legs. But it’s probably served it’s purpose and allowed her to shift the focus onto online bullying. She’s already got a lot of media out of it.

I don't really care about the court case. I just don't think it is evidence of her being racist. Unfortunately the 'reasonable person' test would be better described as the lowest common denominator test. 'Reasonable persons' are incapable of nuance.

Unsure if your "peers" would take kindly to that observation, old chap.

That bloke is being unreasonable.

She f**ked up but has a barrister who may just save her arse.

If anyone else said that they would have been hung out to dry.

What's wrong with this image ?
