Why the small heads in F1 2000?

8 posts by 7 people · 14 Feb 2000 - 17 Feb 2000

Here is my theory (not for the easily offended!): A (presumably blonde) female EA representative was discussing the upcoming F1 game/sim with a member of an F1 team. When the talk was close to the end, she asked him, `So, any other special wishes?' and he looked her deeply in the eyes, and said `Ahem, how a about a little head?' So that's why there is a small head in all the screenshots.

Yes, you did say "not for the easily offended". But why is it ok to assume that blonde (and presumably white) women are dumb, but had you said "black" up there you'd be called racist? For all I know, you might be black your self. Oh yeah, I forgot. Blacks can't be racist, can they?

The internet is able to reach all the parts in the world, and although there is a lot of globalization going on around these days, luckily there is still so much diversity around. Therefore one must be very careful in formulating his or her statetements in order not to insult anyones religious/national/ethnical/ethical feelings, especially when the message can literaly be read by anyone in the world that has internet access. The joke was actually a recycle of another old joke, but in my opinion it fit perfectly into the current topics of this newsgroup. I wrote it hastily and in a manner I would have told a joke to my friends. While this style of communication would have been perfectly acceptable in the circle of people I am with daily (my ex-girlfriend, who is as blonde as it gets and by no means dumb, enjoyed this kind of jokes just as much as anyone else), I do realize that there are a lot of people and places that are much more PC sensitive. While I tend to believe that jokes about stereotypes are a part of the popular culture and can, in fact, help demistify certain taboos, I know this viewpoint is not shared by many others. I again apologize for being a bit inconsiderate. Greetings, Gregor

I thought it was rather more of a slam against all of we typical males (I can say that, I'm one of them). I didn't think it implied blondes were dumb at all. FWIW, I thought your "Blacks can't be racist" comment was far more derogatory than the blonde joke. -Chris- Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
