blankspace 62 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Video makers cause offence as they compliment shakers, breasts, melons and jugs... but it's not what you think Canadian pranksters Nelk Filmz have a history of doing very strange things to cause a reaction - from leaving lemons on strangers' shoulders to running off with a football stolen from a match. But their most recent effort has taken things a step further, approaching strangers to compliment them on their jugs, their rack, or their melons. It sounds offensive but it's not what you think. "Now this is how you do a prank," wrote Kristela on YouTube. If you haven't watched the video, they are talking to someone behind their supposed target, holding whichever item they are making reference to. But there is a rising amount of criticism that this prank is sexist in itself and doing this at all, even as a joke, is offensive. "These guys are walking around making women feel extremely uncomfortable," Michael James wrote in the comments. "Shame on them. They should be required to attend a sexual harassment seminar before being allowed back on the beach." (source) video sexist or just harmless fun?

The Jack of Hearts 156 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 video sexist or just harmless fun? Dunno if it's sexist (certainly rude though), but it's definitely not funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFury 3,019 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I think in order to become a SJW you first need to have a complete lack of understanding of how humor works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrazyAjumma 1,925 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Like my mom always told my annoying wanna be comedian brother, "It's not funny unless everyone is having fun." In other words, humor at the expense of other people is rude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer 883 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 What if someone said, "Wow, you have a gorgeous penis/butt" to a man? Would it be considered that as sexual harassment? No, it wouldn't. Double standards... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monologue 2,484 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 It's funny but it's definitely using sexual harassment for humour. It would be better if they picked a joke that doesn't involve street harassment of women Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chipo 60 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I laughed. It really isn't necessary to overanalyze and find sexism everywhere. None of the women looked offended when they got over the initial surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Phoenix 105 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I wish people would realize how harmful this term is. Comparing nazis to women with radical views makes no sense to me. The term was first used to identify radical pro-abortion feminists who advocated using the power of the state in a Nazi-like way to silence religious believers and other critics of their views. It was never meant to apply to feminists in general, though it gets used that way because the users think it sounds funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
