it's annoying having to remind people when a post was meant in jest. which mine was - hence the


at the end of the day, irish people and their culture get stereotyped, sometimes crudely (like with the eastenders example i cited) and sometimes just because it's easy to paint us as a bunch of alcoholics. but at the end of the day, we are going to be viewed and stereotyped a certain way. we do it to other cultures. everyone does it to everyone. and if you look around, it seems quite a few are happily living up to the stereotype. so Irish people are seen as going out and having a few drinks, big deal!

Alan Partridges view on the Irish

is incredible.

 

[evil bandit]

is incredible.

I think the Irish are going through a major image change. I mean, the old image of Leprechauns, shamrock, Guinness, horses running through council estates, toothless simpletons, people with eyebrows on their cheeks, badly tarmacced drives in this country, men in platform shoes being arrested for bombings, lots of rocks, and Beamish. I think people are saying "yes, there's more to Ireland than this".

A good slogan for the tourist board [does the bad Irish accent again] "Dere's more to Oireland dan dis."

[rape the drummer]

its just a fucking joke, people should chill out and learn to take things like this in good humour- it happens to every culture/nationality.

 

[ann post]

i think people are taking it in good humour, its a joke, but isnt it wiser to try and understand the joke than to just say its a joke and forget about it??
