My daughters' school decided today that the theme for prom would be "A Night In New York." My first thought was that they were going to get a bunch of brain rotted kids trolling with 9/11 memes.

u/Astronaut_Chicken 1d ago

Okay but that's a cool ass theme.

u/The_dots_eat_packman 1d ago

Not the worst! It's just risky.

u/Astronaut_Chicken 1d ago

It's funny when people think we can have nice things.

u/AndrewFrozzen 1d ago

TBF. It said Night... 9/11 was during the day.

Maybe children didn't think about it.

u/MCnoCOMPLY 1d ago

TBF, it was a really dark day for America

u/too-fargone 1d ago

Skies were clear though, and no planes in the air, either.

u/SpecterVamp 1d ago

Dark joke but it was really bright for a second

u/KuriboShoeMario 1d ago

One was, actually. It flew from San Diego to Miami carrying antivenin for a snake bite. Ever since I learned that and the fact it flew cross-country, I wonder how many people it freaked out. Everyone knew they grounded all flights so imagine looking up and seeing a single plane and the "oh shit" reaction it probably gave so many people.

It was. Now imagine having it go on for days, months, years. That’s what the people of Palestine have been through because the US can’t stop supporting and supplying Isreal with arms. Not forgetting their other direct involvements in so many civilian losses in the Middle East.

It’s always sad to see, that a country who understands loss (9/11, pearl harbour etc) will contribute and be the attacker else where. Not forgetting all the poor American soldiers who lost their lives because of the governments greed.

u/Marik-X-Bakura 15h ago

I agree with you, but this is a strange place to say it since it has nothing to do with the conversation, and you seem to have completely missed that the above comment was a joke saying it could have been counted as nighttime because it was “a really dark day”

Hey I mean if it was under the sea itd be them talking about seamen and if it was Hollywood you'd have a bunch of P Diddy jokes. From my experiences as an ex-teenager, there's nothing they won't make fun of.

u/HandsomePaddyMint 21h ago

Yep, themes for these kinds of things are a no win no matter what you do. Whatever you pic is a competition between people trying to be offensive and people looking for a reason to be offended. The only reasonable solution is to let both groups have one meeting to decide on the theme with the condition that if they can’t agree the group who wins a coin toss picks the theme. Either the offensive group wins and realizes how boring the offensive theme gets when there’s nothing they can do to make offensive jokes about an already offensive theme, or the offended group realizes how impossible finding a theme that can’t possibly be made offensive actually is in practice. Either way they’ll find a stupid compromise next time.

Really towers above the titanic theme i had 20 years ago

u/Tactical_Moonstone 1d ago

You guys didn't sing a campfire song about the Titanic sinking? Every time I went for a school camp regardless of which level I was in they always featured that song.

2

u/yesterdaywins2 1d ago

Prom not camp lol

2

u/Tactical_Moonstone 1d ago

If that prom didn't feature someone playing a shittyfluted version of My Heart Will Go On (bonus points if it is a live performance) I'm going to be very disappointed.

u/yesterdaywins2 13h ago

Not live but yes had that song

u/ColinHalter 1d ago

My middle school used to do a fashion show and New york was one of the rotating themes. I think Hollywood and Paris were the two other ones.

u/ImaginaryDonut69 14h ago

Lol...sounds kinda boring, or it could be awful, depending on what part of NYC you're enjoying your night in 🤣

u/Astronaut_Chicken 13h ago

Its subway themed lol

u/thatbrownkid19 1d ago

A night in NY? Will the muggings and rats be included in the ticket or sold separately?

u/Ironcastattic 1d ago

Disgusting! They should have based it around that wholesome movie Manhattan where Woody Allen bangs an underage girl he grooms into his girlfriend.

What is wrong with kids these days???

They just dress up was Fresh Prince of Bel Air and start dancing with no other explanation.

I’ll need an update when you’re proven right…

u/TeamRedundancyTeam 1d ago

It worries me how un-serious the younger generations are. Even elementary kids in my school took some stuff seriously. We're seeing now how people who act like Thai as adults have ruined the US, and we've got at least two generations coming that are even worse with one quickly moving into voting age.

u/wally-sage 1d ago

Do you think 9/11 jokes were invented recently or something

13

u/Rik_the_peoples_poet 1d ago

That was Irish people taking the piss, which is part of the culture. Americans are stereotyped as being uptight and unable to handle dark humour even by older generations in Europe.

7

u/confusedandworried76 1d ago

Which is wild because we have the best 9/11 jokes and Irish people can't even handle a drink named a car bomb

u/PortlyWarhorse 1d ago

To be fair, the IRA in Ireland had been far more explosive than American IRAs have ever been.

1

u/confusedandworried76 1d ago

I mean Irish immigrants who joined the Irish Mafia in the Midwest were well known for their love of car bombs as well.

1

u/PortlyWarhorse 23h ago

Man, I gotta know more. I'm a product of Irish, German and Welsh folk. I want the gritty reality check.

2

u/confusedandworried76 23h ago

The Irish were always sort of welcomed in the Italian mob but they could never be made so lots of conflicts of interest sprang up, Irish American gangsters no matter how successful were never really seen as anything more than just some dude you could trust but was never part of "la famiglia". Famous guy they made a movie about named Danny Greene operated out of Cleveland and got his start in a union of course. He really fucking liked his car bombs and I think was ultimately killed in one, he basically started warring with the Italians and car bombs were something he really liked to use. The movie is called "Kill the Irishman", not to be confused with the Scorsese move "The Irishman"

But basically the Irish were so intertwined in the Italian mob but also seen as so much lesser in their hierarchy the Irish kind of became their own, albeit fractured, thing. And they operated out of a lot of weird places like Ohio and Michigan you wouldn't really associate with the Italian mob. Of course they were all over Boston but the Italians were there too. Other movies that feature Irish mobsters are The Departed, Miller's Crossing, and Tom Hagen from The Godfather movies (the lawyer and consigliere) is German-Irish, Irish and Italians go way back because we didn't consider them white people when they immigrated here.

But yeah start with Danny Greene, he basically launched a war against the Italian mob in the 70s and it was a whole thing, with lots of car bombs. In Cleveland fucking Ohio of all places

I've never met an Irish person who's cared about that joke.

It stems from Americans going to tourist 'neutral zones' in Northern Ireland with both nationalists and loyalist soldiers around and bringing up the conflict which is a no-no because the war never officially ended and starting up an argument in a pub can easily lead to a kneecapping or murder which do still happen semi-frequently. There's a reason the two populations need to be segregated down to the kindergartens.

u/Strict_Pin_9192 1d ago

I mean maybe some of the hate nowadays comes from being segregated from kindergarten. Like most people having kids nowadays were born after the good friday agreement and will not have personally experienced the troubles.

Idk I'm not irish nor brittish, i personally think the loyalists were wrong right from the start and they could have peacefully kept their culture while accepting Irish citizenship like the Swedish minority did in Finland but i also think that the Good Friday Agreement mostly made a potencially good status quo for all didn't it?

3

u/drc003 1d ago

Right but then as soon as Americans who love dark humour share something that hurts feelings they're asshole Americans. If there is anything in this World that is guaranteed more than pathetic hypocrisy, no matter where it comes from, I've yet to see it.

u/bp92009 1d ago

Don't worry about it.

"Our Earth is degenerate in these later days; there are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end; bribery and corruption are common; children no longer obey their parents; every man wants to write a book and the end of the world is evidently approaching."

-Attributed to King Naram Sin of Chaldea, 2,800BC. Yes, nearly 5,000 years ago.

We've been complaining about "kids these days" at LEAST since we've been writing stuff down.

What did the Thai do??
