    Extra points for one with Mandela in casket

    Yeah, why not?

    I took photos at my uncles funeral last month. Good knees up. Didn't consider the gravitas aspect.

    IT IS WHAT HE WOULD HAVE WANTED.

    Didn't have my cock out in any of them.

    Wouldn't expect the Euromen to understand but us Americans consider this extremely disrespectful; especially since he left Michelle in the cold like that.

    "was moving his hands around but there was no meaning in what he used his hands for,"

    Sounds about right if you're signing for politicians.

    dude - you can troll so much better than this. I believe in you!

    summarize that tl;drness?

    instantly suspicious that something that lengthy needs to be written to explain something so simple (vain politicians)

    The selfie that has PC sweating was not at a funeral.

    It was a memorial service.
    A celebration of a mans life.
    There were tens of thousands of people there from across SA, Africa and the world.
    3 people, friends, all of whom live far apart and traveled great distances, took a picture together.
    PCs phony horror is the bad look here.

    My guess is that PC is upset because 3 commies took their picture together at the memorial for another commie.

    Dude, you need to deal.

    Short version: the tone of the ceremony was upbeat and celebratory of Mandela's life and accomplishments, as opposed to the more traditionally somber American funereal tone, and thus the actions of Obama et al did not seem inappropriate or at all out of place. AKA judging a foreign environment by American standards.
  • LaserWolfLaserWolf Portland Oregon 11,517 Posts
    I thought the point of the article was to say this was one of 500 photos we sent around the world from the Memorial. The 499 capture the mood of the event. This photo - and the story people are making-up - is trivial.
  • DB_CooperDB_Cooper Manhatin' 7,823 Posts
    That's true as well. I was just trying to highlight the part that directly addressed P-Crazee's implication that Obama was acting inappropriately.

    I had forgotten about that picture. Thought Patrick was referring to this article from a couple of months ago which was in the free paper you get on the Tube:

    http://metro.co.uk/2013/10/29/teenagers-taking-selfies-at-funerals-4165911/

    tl;dr, it's just more evidence that over here in Europe we laugh in the face of funerals and don't give a hoot about so-called "respectful behaviour".

    Michelle clearly thought he was acting inappropriately. But don't let that stop you from sticking up for ANYTHING Obama ever does.

    Btw, this is one of the worst looks ever on this board.
    I'll tell you what's disrespectful: you, personally mr Patrick crazy via your GOP shill Reagan, had Mandela on the terrorist watch list until 2008.

    200 fucking 8.

    Son.
