Can't make jokes like that these days. You're perpetuating child abduction culture.

[Replies From View]

Who in their right mind uses question marks instead of apostrophes?  This guy is sick.

[Barry Admin]

I like that the swear word has been censored.

[Cerys]

Presumably the place it's cut'n'pasted from has a ban on profanity.  Ironic.

[thecuriousorange]

Maddie probably doesn't know that she's Maddie and may even be making Maddie jokes on the internet.

[Phoenix Lazarus]

Don't think this is going to end happily; rather like the McCann saga...

[Funcrusher]

Maddie probably doesn't know that she's Maddie and may even be making Maddie jokes on the internet.

I think she did a Reggie Perrin and she's driving around in a VW camper with some Deadheads.

[Phoenix Lazarus]

I wonder if she's formed a folk-rock group called Coloboma-Eye Span?

[Phoenix Lazarus]

Or could be called Steal-Child Span.

[Cuellar]

Q: What?s all this

Or could be called Steal-Child Span.

Laughed at this though.

[Utter Shit]

Imagine thinking CAB people would get upset by this nonsense. Know your audience mate.

[Cerys]

Q: What?s all this

Evidence that the whole list is cut'n'pasted, perhaps.

[Dr Syntax Head]

We are the target audience

Did I miss something?

[bgmnts]

I'll be the one to bite and be Buzz Killington but the idea of a little girl being kidnapped and possibly raped and/or murdered actually makes me really really sad and I don't understand jokes about it.

What if she fell in the sea?

None of these are as good as the Ben Needham jokes that used to do the rounds.

Ha ha pussy

[DistressedArea]

And scared that whoever took her is going to come back for the rest of us.

[nedthemumbler]

Is this okay?.

[Phoenix Lazarus]

Lord Lucan was four, once.  Do we know he wasn't abducted, raped and murdered?

That's totally fair enough.

Gallows humour tends to rely on that divisiveness. It's also a way of coping with the harsh realities of life. It ain't for everyone, nor should it be.

Everyone feels really sad about it, people just cope and react in different ways. And, crucially, you can still care while also finding jokes about it funny. If rape and murder are suitable subjects for drama, then comedy should be allowed a crack at it too.

[biggytitbo]

The jokes aren't aimed at a real 4 year old girl anyway, as always with this stuff it's aimed at the abstract construct that's created by the media reporting. If you were to make the same jokes about your friends child that would be horrendous.

I can't be the only one who took a sharp intake of breath in anticipation of what was coming next. Have to say I was disappointed.
