Nope, still too scarey for me. Take it down.
FMD.

Maybe corporations need to stop being so reactionary and stick to whats right. That billboard was not offensive and they should have ignored protests from bigots.

Props to Campbell's Soup, They know whats right.

I believe the sign was taken down for representing a minority rather than multicultural group of people and not including any indigenous people. Heard it on one of the news channels.

So what? Those kids looks like Aussies to me.

This Kyrgios merkin must be one of the more mentally weak players on tour. He's raving like a madman at his family in the crowd, copped a couple of code violations as soon as his opponent started showing some backbone.

Hope the f**ker loses so that channel 7 can stop promoting him and trying to convince us how good he is...

There was certainly a deliberate and motivated reason why they used this picture. I don't have an issue with it, but denying it was deliberate would be silly.

It's just a shame they didnt have the balls to follow through and stick it to the loud noises!

He is a real mental midget .... there is a fairly vocal crowd trying to cheer him on and he's moping around like a sooky 5 yr old

I'm not pretending that I'm not serious.

I'm serious.

And Gaz is a thief.

Someone told me the clue was in a simple nursery Rhyme

Row, row , row your boat gently down the stream
Merrily , Merrily,merrily, merrily
life is but a dream

 

[hindy111]

- The boat is your life, the stream is your time, rowing is working at it getting to your dream

Hey Gary - You ever been called stinkfist?

Did Casper take over hindy's account there?

From my understanding the billboard the little girls picture appeared on was digital and showed other pics of many different people from different cultures in Australia. The pic in question was actually taken at Australia Day celebrations last year. Apparently an extreme right wing group whose name escapes me at the moment put just the pic of the girls on their Facebook page where a few morons lost their shit about it without knowing the full story. Not that it should matter anyway and probably wouldn't to the type of people that would visit any extremist website. What it does show is that society has extremist groups fueled by hate whether they be muslims, anglos or whatever.

Kyrgios lost 10-8 (having led 2 sets to nil) in the last set yet McEnroe claims that he tanked it ? True ? I didn't see it.

Kyrgios worries me. Add to that, Tomic has been accused of tanking in the past as well. I can't recall no f**ks given teenage professional tennis players ever throwing matches in all of my time. Clearly we are raising our children wrong for them to think that it's OK not to try and then not give a shit about it.

"Tanking"

I happened to flick over to the coverage last night just as his meltdown in the 3rd set started. He had just been given his first code violation for audible obscenity towards his crew... then he received a 2nd violation for smashing his racquet... From what I could gather from the commentary, he was all over the other guy in the first 2 sets...then it was like someone flicked a switch and it all fell to pieces.

When he lost the 3rd set and then went down a break in the 4th, to me, he looked like he didn't give a shit, he wasn't going through his normal serve routine, wasn't chasing anything down... like he was basically conceding the 4th set and saving himself for the 5th set....which the scoreline indicated. He was meek in the 4th set, tried harder in the 5th, but eventually ran out of steam and maybe motivation.

He's got talent, no question, but he's just a complete douchebag and carries himself appallingly....

For whatever reason, he has the mentality of a toddler. Someone needs to get in his earhole (Lleyton or Rafter perhaps) and convince him to piss his brother off out of his coaches box (every time he has a meltdown it's directed there) and get an actual coach. Just f**king hire Roger Rasheed

 

[hindy111]

No.

Hey Stinkfist you have now

 

[hindy111]

Yet plenty of player in same position if down 3-0 in 4th commentators would be calling for the player to just save energy for 5th set and tank the 4th.
At 10-8 your not tanking.
