Punishments to fit the crime? Page 2

That one's mainly for obscene flashing ones than just a boring animation like Ruby has, for example. And in any case, I didn't see your animated avatar anyway!

Nah mine wasn't obscene, I had a blinking eye at one point and a geek at a computer who beats the puter so hard that his arms fall off and blood everywhere, etc

Ohh yes, I recall the computer one.

Gr8 thred m8.

Hmm always thought people who commit crimes of honour (e.g. forced marriages, honour killings).

Should be forcibly converted to their most hated religion.

I'd pay to watch Abu Hamza be circumcised, and then forced to have a Barmitzvah.

Then forced to watch every Woody Allen film, even the crap later ones.

Twice.

Surely all Woody Allen films are crap.

Old Abu might like Woody Allen films. I remember an episode of lois Theroux where Louis met a really vile right wing American who hated gays, and yet loved John Inman in Are You Being Served.

Only if he had to do it himself, with the hook. But aren't moslems bare-headed anyway?

Yeah, but he didn't accept that Mr Humphries - or John Inman, IIRC - were in the gays.

From Take The Money And Run through to Sleeper he was pretty funny; then he made Annie Hall and people started saying he was auteur, and it was all down hill from there. From Ingmar Bergman to kiddie-fiddling is only a short step.

Banana, Take the Money and Run, Sleeper, Annie Hall, Radio Days, Love and Death etc

Are among the wittiest cleverest films I've ever seen.

Oh and Bullets over Broadway.

Look 'em up they're a bit like Carry on Films made by Dostoyevsky.

A bit of controversy on Annie Hall there. Maybe it's a Jewish thing.

Ok Annie Hall is more of an intellectual rom com, and not so laugh out loud funny.

But Bananas, and Sleeper etc are hilarious.

And substantially funnier than those moribund Carry On films, made by depressed actors for peanuts.
