It was an awesome pleasure to see them enjoy an experience that under normal circumstances would never be able. Hollow tried to explain that - and people just kept flaming him for being an insensitive prick! It was disgusting. If watching that video doesn't make someone think fondly of it, that's their problem; they should keep it to themselves and forgo puking such ignorance over all of us that do. "Awesome party" "So fucking metal!" "I think they found themselves a new singer" That's his first post. Does that sound like genuine sentiment or mocking sarcasm? Everything else was just him backpedaling after he realized what a dick he looked like. | ||

Only if handicapped people actually acted like Timmy. Timmy is grossly exaggerated, so no it doesn't necessarily mean you're laughing at handicapped people in this case. It only means the creaters of south park are horrible people! | ||

However, i am not as certain as you guys are in regards to his motivations. If normal people were dancing like that, they'd be laughed at. I don't consider myself depreciating the handicapped despite the fact that i'd be laughing at them - people who dance like that are funny, regardless of whether they are handicapped or not. It does not belittle in anyway the fact that i'm genuinely happy to see them having a good time, experiencing their own metal concert when they most likely would never be allowed to attend one. To censor such laughter is to say "Wait!, do not Laugh! It is not nice to laugh because their existence is tragic!". If i broke my legs and ended up in a wheel chair, i would not want people to stop making wheel chair jokes. I am homosexual, and would never dare begrudge others making gay jokes. To be any different is to say that i (or them) are in need of your pity; i can not speak for them, but i am in no need of it. Maybe Hollow was back pedaling. I guess i just did not see it that way since i laugh at handicapped people all the time, despite having the utmost respect for them. I do apologize for coming across as harshly as i did though - it was uncalled for. | ||
