People are retards

Seriously.

Just finished watching the latest IPL match (1st semi-final), and I couldnt help but notice - everytime the camera moved around in the crowds, the people were making queer, ugly faces at it. Some yelling into it, some bulging their eyes out or sticking their tongues out at it. Sheesh...

Now, waving at a camera I can dig. So also if you are smiling shyly or laughing, or even trying to hide your face. But making faces and yelling gibberish?

Considering that the live streaming pictures are being beamed to millions of homes watching a cricket broadcast live, it makes all of them look retarded. I wonder what is it about a moving camera which makes them go a few steps down the intelligence ladder.

20,000 people in the stadium. At least half (if not more) are camera-retarded.

Excitement? Dont think so.

Realisation? On the contrary.

Knowing that their peers and family might be seeing them back home? Wtf?

You tell me. I have no explanation for this very queer behaviour.

Oh good, it's not just here. :D

I think the correct response here is: alcohol.

Drunk all day? Geez they must be pissing rivers in a line by the time a match finishes.

No I think they are really camera-retarded. There's no other valid explanation. The moving camera makes them become idiots.

At first I thought it was just the primate part coming to the fore. But then I realised, monkeys and apes look more serene when they face the camera, than people. Oh boy!

Yep, it's all in the juice, baby.

People do all kinds of retarded shit. I've done all kinds of retarded shit, but I have to admit that I've never done it on a level where everyone could see me. But __V__, tell me honestly, the majority of the people who are behaving in such a stupid way are men, aren't they? Be honest with me.

Some people are total retards

i heard on the news today that a man complained to the landlord that a man sexually assaulted his wife.

he said 'good morning' to her - passing her in the hallway.

it seems that they are from some place in the middle east where it is wrong for a man to address a strange woman by saying 'good morning'


i have no tolerance for cultures that promote garbage like this ... fucking go back where you came from or learn how to grow the fuck up and adapt to the customs of the place you decided to call home.

Yeh but its been a man's sport largely till now. More women have only recently started to dig cricket, especially after the new 20-20 format has taken off.

But yeah, I didnt notice many women being retards. There were a few but I guess they were either too young or too drunk.

That might have created quite a scene!

Yeah those ones from the Middle East are very touchy and orthodox about their culture and religion. Largely Islamic, they are still in the mental block stage. Their wives are under 30 rows of veils, and are supposed to feed the menfolk and raise their babies. Only. In some castes, they are not even permitted to raise their eyes, or even talk in a loud voice. All this while, the men can go around and keep upto FOUR wives, and sleep around with as many women as they want. A hypocritical society, if you ask me.

But yeah, adaptability is survival. If you dont change with the times, you are liable to fall back and eventually get snuffed out. I hate those damn bastards. They should be weeded out and sent to some small island to be tortured to death.

Actually i think its kinda stupid to call them retards because all their doing is having fun. I dont think they're really doing anything wrong. I just think your easily angered V. I also dont think they care whos watching them or what their families will think simply because its harmless goofy fun to them.
