    Mods? This doesn't deserve a new thread. If it did, the title would be: "Catalans can do dumb racial humor, too"

    pretty much. It implies that Puyol can't tell a burglar from any of the black guys on his team and that he's an all around stupid person.


    Anyone wanna help me out on finding the humor in this? :rolleyes:

    No, not at all. Actually, what he says is that he is confused because they always use the same actor to portray the players he's naming. He then "realizes"/thinks he must be one of the Three Kings - el rei negre (Balthasar) bringing gifts. When he opens the sac and sees the "toys", he is excited (especially the Benny Hill dvd set) but is surprised because he already has those things. They are the gifts he asked for last year in his letter (equivalent to Santa's letter) - it must have gotten lost . No problem, take them back and he'll write another one...

    Racist? Does it stereotype all "blacks" as burglars or looking the same? I don't think that was the intention. But don't ask me, I'm colour blind. Silly? Has anyone watched Air Farce?

    It only proceeds from a stereotypically racist premise, only to subvert it. It's the same formula Dave Chappelle used on his show with black archetypes like the crack addict, the drug dealer, the dominoes player, the player-hater, Rick James... But after two hugely successful seasons, Dave discovered that not everyone understood the level of humor he was operating at, and that many folks were just laughing at the black guy being ridiculous. (e.g. ETO99 apparently) Minstrelsy all over again.

    I agree with 35mm, it seems like the real joke here is Crackovia laughing at the fact they have one black actor and how he is supposed to play interchangeable parts. But that is as self-condemning as it is funny in some kind of postmodern self-reflective way.

    Ah! Crackovia. Thats what makes the show so cool. First they laugh at themselves, then they laugh at the world, then they laugh at themslves laughing at the world, then they laugh at the world laughing at the show, and it goes on and on and on.

    Hleb + 30 million Euro's for Ribery? Did I understand that right?

    Or is it 30 Million Euro's MINUS 14-18 M with Hleb?

    Aprox 20 Mil with Hleb included in the mix for Ribery?

    Is that the deal?

    Hmmm....With all due respect to all the Francophiles out there...

    I don't want "Another" french guy in front of Abidal on the left. Abidal is a problem, has always been a problem and will always be a problem. Another french primadonna playing with him on his side, will be an even bigger problem.

    Meh. Keep Hleb.

    The article claims this^^. That sounds ridiculously optimistic on both fronts (i.e., 30 sounds like not enough for Ribery and 14-18 sounds like too much for Hleb).
