When jokes go too far

Recently a friend of mine on facebook invited me to join an event called "International Round Up The Women & Herd Them To The Kitchen Day". When I saw the invite I was shocked but decided to find out what it was all about before getting worked up.

I went on the event page and was at a loss for words to say the least. The humour was tasteless and the images were the final straw on this camel's back.

If you are reading this and think that the 3 images (out of about 50) I have placed below are offensive and go much much further than any "joke" should. Please visit the site by following this link and reporting the event and the images that you find offensive.


There is a line between funny and just plain offensive. And this event and its members have definitely crossed it. I have a fairly tough skin and am not overly sensitive, but even I think that this group and the images advocate violence towards women. Its sickening & worrying.
