Why is that gone? :saywhat:

Mocking the IRL is permited. Mocking "gomers" in a general sense is permited. Personal attacks on specific individuals who aren't in the racing industry isn't allowed and never has been.
This is a place to talk about racing, not "who we don't like."
Another thing that isn't allowed here is making light of driver injuries. Kenny Brack photoshopped on an electric wheel chair falls pretty squarely into that category.

OK - I quit.
You might want to rethink that decision. Porn laws make exceptions for "artistic merit," and that video clearly had artistic merit.
Besides, Kenny has been out of the hospital for a long time now.
Warlock!

Yeah... I guess I didn't see much problem with the Brack thing, considering last I heard he was gonna make full recovery. The skater dude and whoever is dancin' in the lower right in the beginning is a judgement call. Not my judgement, but...
Oh well.
That is a finely crafted PARODY. National Lampoon magazine sold zillions of copies doing it, I frankly can't see why it's labeled as an attack. CArtoons and comic strips all across the country attack this nations honor and many of it's citizens, all in the interest of editorial humor. This is no different. The song said "what do you want to do with your life" and Kenny is sitting in a wheelchair. THIS epitomizes what the EArL hypocrisy has become and is CUTTING EDGE open wheel editorial humor at it's finest.
Come on, Hornish nodding his head, and then dragging the gas pump behind the car is pure genius. I can't see the harm in any of it. They are what they are, and are open to public scrutiny too.
I wonder if the video would have been okay had it been limited to a parody of the IRL and IRL drivers, and left a couple of "fans" out of it.

But the "fan" part is what made it so funny!
Yeah, but how would you like it if someone took the pictures from OC gatherings and used them to mock us?

OK, AR1 has just posted a link to the video. Can we please have the thread moved back into a discussion forum so that we can all discuss this "Hot News" item that has been posted on AR1?

Pfffft, if we can't parody the EARL and its fans, what good is this place?
YMCA4EVER. :rofl:
Sucks.

Agreed.
It was funny IMO, and the response was un-"enthusiastic".

But isn't one of those fans a self-proclaimed "ultimate insider" with the IRL?
:gomer:
