THINK ZOO

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Wednesday December 11, 2002 01:45author by Killian

Does anyone know who is behind this website, I was told today that a prominent Irish anti-war activist is hosting this site!! The caricatures do not come over as satirical, merely stereotypes and the Traveller portrayal is just racist.

That's hilarious! Best Irish website I've seen in ages. Don't think the traveller stuff is any worse than the other charcters. They're all just stereotypes - although some are closer to the bone than others!

wow, good idea, lets promote aparteid!

Yeah, it a great idea to take the mick out of travellers and other people who are less well off than those who can construct and host their own website. I suppose when you've got nothing better to do, creating a website like this, its just great, well done. And as for Gods Ass Pissed? whats an 'emegrant' or was it 'emagrant', is it an allowance from the ema or summink? and as for 'bellow rididcule', thats blacksmith talk isn't it, for someone who blows a whole lot of shit. At the end of the day, travellers are treated like second or even third class citizens in this country, and the stereotypes in this 'thinkzoo' thang (is that because those who appreciate it think like sedated animals?) are about as funny as all those 'nigger' jokes. So continue on appreciating 'his type of thing', after all ignorance is bliss eh? And one day soon at this rate, the whole shitpile will explode in a ball of hate, filth and tinkerfury.

My bet its the DPPs office!

Actually, I think it's very funny.

The Cork guy is excellent - very close to some people I've met. Sorcha is very like some people I've worked with. The Northern Ireland fella is funny cos it's takes the piss out of Sinn fein people (more please). Anyone in Dublin will know what Berno is like. As for Bridie, well, I have relations from Rathkeale in Limerick - she is quite accurate (and funny).

They should do one for a crusty far-left type with no humour whatsoever, who manages to find offence in everything.
