It's gone. What was it?
A soldier in blackface with the comment 'being in the army requires a robust sense of humour' I imagine there's a vacancy for a social media officer if anyone is interested...

That's just not true is it? He was in camo cover. Mostly green. But hey, it's 2016 - the age of being of offended. https://www.rt.com/uk/363330-army-twitter-black-face/ (Yes I know that's from RT, but it's the only place I could find a close-up photo and some mildly sensible comments)

I swear that some people must scour the internet looking for reasons to be offended, that's fucking ridiculous. Instead of issuing apologies over this kind of thing, I'd wish people started responding to the uproar with 'Get a fucking grip. It's camo pain, you narrow-minded muppets'.

It just looked as though he may be enjoying himself.
But, of course, it couldn't just be a soldier enjoying himself while wearing black* camo point, (which soldiers are prone to do). Oh no, it must be a racist slur. BAN racist camo paint.
*It was actually dark green.

Enjoyment and humour aren't linked, you're being silly. stop being silly

I'm always hesitant when clicking a link to that forum but I'd find that a little bit amusing regardless of the club involved.

To be fair, it's not all that bad. Certainly not as cringe worthy as some of their other recent efforts.

In a debate group that I am a member of, a new member has joined by the name of Gary Barlow.
All Take That references have so far gone over everybody's head. I think I'm perhaps a bit more amused by it than I should be.

For all those like me questioning their faith in humanity, a small antidote to some of the really miserable stuff dominating news at the moment http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-37782899
