[ProZak]

Best photograph stance ever? Left my camera on top of the car roof, and took off. God bless Best Buy extended warranty

So? Let's see the photo!

Hi all. as may be the only Chinese on this forum, I do not think it is funny to make fun of people from different culture. As a pro photographer who make half a living in the craft, I think what ever poses is fine as long as they produce a sharp picts, as they say, the proof is in the pudding. we are all here because of the love for BMW's, so please cut it out.

You're obviously joking....

no Jon I am not, if you are pig head enough not to see that you need some sensibility training, then I am wasting my time. It is one thing to think the Chinese poses are funny, it is another to shoot monkey like poses to try to make fun of them.

Do people in China ever laugh? This is causing me to think not!

A sense of humor is a great attribute when it comes to the interweb.

Giggle a bit.

Hi Jon we do. but you are right that Chinese seems to be more serious than others, and there are more Chinese that have none of the P.C sensibilities in China than here in the States. But I just thought that you have a right to think what is funny but you do not have a right to make fun of any group of people especially in a public forum, whatever you believe or do in your own home is none of my business, but in public, it is different matter. As for myself, I have been told many time by my wife( who is white BTW) that I have made fun of something in an un p.C way, or made a sexual jok that put someone down. so I am by no means profect.

hey Chuck take it easy, this forum may poke fun of everyone at some point in the picture, (no pun) some make fun of themselves but this was a funny subject to the retards in the states as I am. No one is perfect and I accept your criticism, your input besides this thread may be awesomly welcomed.

there is NO aimiable posts against your culture as I can read except the title, take a breath...have a soda and make yourself at home.

we welcome you!

I think you're not looking at the big picture. If it were polish people doing it, or germans, or hispanics, it would be just as funny. It's making fun of a specific habit of a specific people. The amish are funny in that they ride horses, but i didn't get any amish pictures yet. But, rest assured, as soon as I do, there will be pics of them up here.

All cultures have distinctive habits. In France they make fun of Americans because we all walk around carrying giant sodas. I find that hilarious because I am a diet coke addict and am regularly seen with 64 ounce sodas.

I regularly make fun of the Aussies on this board for their wicked sense of humor. What is their response? They tease me unmercifully.

In fact I probably get teased more than most for being the only woman who posts regularly. And I rarely get my panties in a bunch about it.


We all make fun of each other here. I have said it before and will say it again--I love this place because it is respite from the draconian sense of political correctness that has overtaken our country. In fact this board was founded in response to a desire to be free from the censorship at roadfly.


I sincerely believe that our country has taken a turn for the worse that everyone is so quick and self righteous to proclaim themselves offended and victimized. What happened to the oh so wonderful ability to laugh at ones self?

I don't like to see anyone suffer. In that sense my heart goes out to you. But I really think some self examination about the pain you are experiencing over this is in order.

But as ever, call me the official spokesperson for the totally clueless
