Athos Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 Had this idea a few days ago, initially not with a Joe Vig theme in mind, but as I thought it over, I thought it would be a good opportunity to make another Joe Vig vignette. I hope no one is overly offended by it: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Vi...JoeVig/tsa1.jpg The whole secure gallery (including more of Joe Vig's adventures): http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=122443 Steve Quote
The Hordesman Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 I think it could have been fun, but the turban+dynamite makes one think of the prejudice against arabic people. A balaclava like the one used by "Urban Commando", a dynamite and gun would be less offensive. Second, Im not sure this seen is "oblivious" enough, though that can be discussed. ;-) Quote
Jipay Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 I have to disagree with the 'we will offense those people blabla'. Damn, can't you create whatever you want ? This is humour ! Nothing more. Quote
The Hordesman Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 This is humour ! Nothing more. And obviously there are only arabic peopel who blow themselves, so... :-| Sorry, but my friends from that area of the world did not find it the least fun, nor did I. Quote
xwingyoda Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 Poor Joe Vig again hehe :-P Great Vignette Athos like always !!! (may I give you a suggestion: you should do a directory of all your great vigs ;-) Offended ?? Oh please, I totally disagree against that politically correct rubbish (except a few exemples like sex with underage people, thats it more or less) !! The Hordesman, explain how this is racist please ?? I did a Team Swat story which can be viewed like people like you as racist because it depicts one harsh aspect of today's violence, how is that racist ?? Its news !! *yoda* Quote
snefroe Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 well, in any case, i think there's a better place for this on eb then here.... no need to offend any one who doesn't wanna see this.... or strongly disagree with this Quote
Vader Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 I see this vig as a p*+s take out of airport staff who miss the most obvious things, for me if i wasnt for the headgear that the fig with the gun has, i doubt anyone would be offended. Quote
xwingyoda Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 Witness the power of boobies X-D :-P *yoda* Quote
Jipay Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 This reminds me a lot of the airport. unfortunatly I always had the "chance" to be the choosen who would go a on corporal search. Are all the security guys gays or whaaat ? or I do look like a dealer, but at least not as much as yoda :-D Quote
xwingyoda Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 Hey >:-( Me too, on each flight to the US, I had someone opening my stuff and taking out my shoes in the bloody corridor (so after passing security where I was checked longer than other passengers !!). Go figure !!! If I had Joevig, at the security, this would have been a pure formality X-D :-P *yoda* Quote
Jipay Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 Depending on who's following. Boobies could save us Quote
Kikuichimonji Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 Well, how about me...if I pass a metal detector, it will go off because there's metal in my wrist...try explaining that :-P Quote
Sting Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 When I get on to board a plane the metal detector goes off because of my Katana. LoL. Nice Vig... this is a world of Lego... just because he wears a turban doesnt mean he is Muslim! Last time I checked there was no religions/skin colors in the lego SYSTEM World (no, the black Ambulance Driver from Spiderman and the Basketball guys DON'T count!) (p.s. correct me if i'm wrong!)

Athos Posted April 4, 2006 Author Posted April 4, 2006 Well first off, I didn't mean to offend anyone, though, I do admit, the possibility had crossed my mind. I just wanted to make it crystal clear what was going on here. And in my defense, the last (and only, that I can think of off hand) airplane hijacking was done by people from cultures that seem to dress similarly to the objected to figure. If it is inappropriate for eurobricks, then feel free to lock or delete the thread. I certainly didn't mean to cause a controversy here. Steve Quote
Starwars4J Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 Depending on who's following. Boobies could save us I read the whole thread and I have no idea where that came from >_> *y* anyway though Quote
Sir Dillon Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 Depending on who's following. Boobies could save us I read the whole thread and I have no idea where that came from >_> I think it's because they're talking about how long it takes to get through the security, and if a girl is behind them, the security person might look at the girl and let them pass. (As our friend Joe is doing) Or at least that what I thought they were talking about. :-/ Quote
Jipay Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 Thanks for clearing it ! That was effectively what I ment *sweet* Quote
