Okay, fair point!
Okay, fair point!
I guess you could say that...
(puts on sunglasses)...
...she puts the "smear" in Smrhova.
YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!
That's pretty busted and demeaning, actually. Just because she's a sex worker doesn't mean you need to be so disrespectful.
Honestly I don't even get what the joke is. What's smeared?
Indeed. MLB is known for his bad sense of humour and his need to make a pun as much as he can which is pretty tiresome.
I was hoping for an explanation that'd make it less stupid, but that works too, I suppose.
I'm just going to assume it is the generic "haha bodily fluids" "joke" I hoped it wasn't and not something with actual thought/humor put into it, then.
I apologize for my tasteless joke. It was inappropriate and also not funny.

I apologize for my tasteless joke.
Why?
You can make whatever jokes you like. (Well, within board rules).
Other people can have whatever reaction to those jokes that they want, and can post same. (Again, within board rules).
Some people didn't like the joke, for what I imagine are varied personal reasons. As is their right. You deliberately made a bad pun for the sake of making a bad pun, which is what you do (that's not meant in judgement, by the way
). Feeling bad or ashamed because other people disapprove of something you say or do (unless there are actual, genuine serious consequences, of course) isn't healthy. Sure, you probably don't want to cause any annoyance or discomfort in others. But then the others risked causing such for you when they posted their disapproval, didn't they? You should just shrug, acknowledge their right to feel and respond in their own ways to what you posted, and do likewise. If you want not to make such jokes in future out of a sense that others don't like them, that's a respectable choice. So is ignoring the disapproval. We all measure our behaviour against the reactions and comfort of others, but it's easy for some to take it too far, especially those prone to giving way.
Take it from me; living your life in shameful apology for the crime of offending or upsetting others is no way to live. I know how it feels to risk causing even the most minute irritation or discomfort for another (You remember Tobin Dax, cringingly apologizing for apologizing? He was an amateur compared to me). But all that this will bring you is misery. You once mentioned on the forum in open post (which is in large part why I say this here and not in PM) that you avoid confrontation like the plague. It took me literally years in childhood and adolescence to learn how to openly disagree with someone. "Would you walk off a cliff if someone told you too?" Probably, because the alternative was confrontation, and that wasn't something I was hardwired for (still aren't. Learned behaviour). Most people are outwardly nonconformist (more accurately, rebellious, to various degrees) and inwardly conformist. I was the exact opposite. My thinking is always my own, but bending or bucking the rules? I was the perfect student in school. Nobody follows the rules as easily and as organically - and without complaint or a sense of imposition - as a natural anarchist. They have nothing to prove in the constant tribal arena of social status and influence.
It's a survival strategy, I've come in recent years to understand - which is to say, in my early maturity (remember, I was a teenager when I started posting here) - that underlies my entire life. Never confront, never stand opposed, never be a rival; move like water around the others, move before them where they step, submit where they disapprove, self-flagellate if you offend - because of course harm to another is the great unthinkable. The unforgiveable. Best of all, never be situated where they choose to reach, lest you block them or force them to come up against a barrier or an opponent, however implicit. As my mother always says, "If I were in a situation where I had to compete with another for food to survive, I'd most likely die, because I'd just let them have the food". It's a tribalist world, though, and they'll run it by their standards. I get the impression, Mr. Laser Beam, that you are, like me, hypersensitive to others' disapproval. I have no doubt that the emoticon you used represents accurately your feelings. But allowing others' disapproval to motivate you to actually feel like you need to offer sad apology...you shouldn't, my friend.
Others found the joke tasteless and annoying. Again, that is their valid response and right. As it is your valid action and right to post such jokes, unless you choose not to out of regard for others' sensibilities. Which is charity on your case, not entitlement on theirs.
Yikes... this thread took a weird turn.
I just wanted to see some fan art of what people thought she looked like. This is an odd thread.
If, perchance, one wanted to recast the role with a more mainstream actress rather than with her original namesake, then I might suggest Olga Kurylenko as a fitting embodiment of Lieutenant Šmrhová.
Excellent choice. I really liked her in Quantum of Solace
Nice! I wish I had half this talent!
