Heavens, don't use THIS SLUR about THESE CHINESE PEOPLE prince philip! That would be awful! We're not allowed to say THIS SLUR in this PC society anymore! And yeah Chinese people do actually open their eyes now and again. It's almost like... Mac's saying... that the slur is perfectly accurate! PC SOCIETY

Here's a Chinese cartoon with two smiling non-Chinese people.

Just this once, it was worth venturing below the line: Guardian commenter SidFishes posted:I’ve written to two sports ‘celebrities’ in my life. The first was to Richie Benaud after he’d announced his retirement. I wrote to him to thank him for being the calm rational voice of my cricket summers and with good grace he responded. The second letter I wrote was to Howard Kendall when I was a 23 year old. That wasn’t such a nice letter.

Why remove the rhyme though

Yeah the rhyme is the theme that ties the cartoon together and isn't an intrusive use of labeling. Removing it was a mistake.

Its almost like most of the people who complain about over-labelling just do it because they see other people doing it, not because the labels are actually talking down to the audience or ruining the cartoon.

I thought the rhyme was pretty inherent, plus the steel bit made me question the whole thing as the industry is doing the opposite of staying in Britain.Cliff Racer posted:Its almost like most of the people who complain about over-labelling just do it because they see other people doing it, not because the labels are actually talking down to the audience or ruining the cartoon. I'm not sure why you think that Riddell's overlabelling is contentious, he's the guy who puts stuff like "Russia" on a bear and "Tory backbenchers" on the blue monsters on Cameron's shoulders. I've done this before and I generally get rid of all the text for effect - I like the art better without it - and it's clear easily 90% of the text he includes is superfluous The Supreme Court fucked around with this message at 18:12 on Oct 25, 2015 |

Puntification posted:Yeah the rhyme is the theme that ties the cartoon together and isn't an intrusive use of labeling. Removing it was a mistake. + 1 As someone who recently moved from Edinburgh to the east of England this cartoon is way off the mark. EVEL is going to go down very well with with most of England, i.e. the Tory base. EVEL is flawed in so many ways but the basic premise behind it is fairly sound and most people don't look beyond that. Nats like you obviously won't agree but I think we need to stop portraying issues as Scotland vs England because it distracts from the fact that these issues affect much of England as well. Regional devolution is an important issue that should be discussed (I think one of the best New Labour policies that never got off the ground was regional assemblies) and, for example, the "West Lothian" question can also be levied against London MPs given the extent of devolution to the London mayor and Assembly - it's not just a Scotland vs England thing and it does a disservice to the country to continue to portray it as such. The only people who benefit from that are the Tories and the SNP.

EVEL in this is only going to hurt the union, even without SNP involvement. That interpretation makes a bit of sense but completely ignores that EVEL is a party political stunt from the Conservatives rather than something that's been pushed by a coherent unionist movement of any kind. Despite their "unionist" protestations I doubt the Tories are actually that bothered about driving wedges between the English and the Scots if it benefits them politically.
