[1961_vintage]

Recipients must of been genuinely startled. I know I of been just from reading about it.

Am I the only person who doesn't have a fucking scooby what this thread is about?

If it assists in any way I believe that Snoopy Dog character is one of those Hippity-Hoppity artists.

No, you're thinking of Snoop Doggy Dog

Snoopy Dog is a children's cartoon character from the 70s. He drove around in a camper van with Fred, Thelma, Shaggy and the other one

I really hate to be pedantic.

But her name is Velma not Thelma.

FFs it was supposed to be funny - even park life going kids getting "offended" now. My daughter got the text and at first thought omg mum!! Then about 3 secs later sussed it. They sent one out from snoop dog.

Are you sure?
I thought it was Rik Rok.

I'm not entirely certain what this is all about, but if someone somewhere has done something that could unintentionally cause the slightest offence (real or imagined) to anyone at all anywhere then I think it's outrageous and probably worse than Hitler

Yeahhh, but then there are people who's mum may recently have died like the OP said. I guess that would be quite upsetting to some people, not to me - luckily my mums still alive - but some people.
Hmm

Don't want to be opening up a can of worms as it's been a while (only saw this post as I was looking for my dissertation topic). Let's pretend for a minute that (God forbid) you recently passed away from cancer and your daughter is in mourning. She then receives a text from 'you', what the fuck goes on in her head? I guess I could have found out the answer to that and asked the poor girl who experienced those emotions which led to the creation of this thread.

The Snoop Dog (or Lion, whatever he wants to call himself nowadays) was fine however you're in dangerous waters when you start with this shite.

It was a poor PR trick in my opinion, unfortunate as I quite like what Parklife is becoming and it's going to be a great boost to our cities economy in the coming years. It's growing year by year, I guess as it's only young they'll learn.

Just didn't think it was well thought out, that's all.
