You're sort of defeating the purpose of that suggestion, considering you used it yourself.

There's something wrong with the other connotation.

There was quite a lengthy debate about this in the UK last year, when various radio stations censored the contentious words in that song.

OK, lost in translation. My point was that the original use was not directed at anyone, merely a quote of the lyric, but I'll shut up now.

Can I have your snow please? I have no reason to go to school tomorrow, apart to learn of course. But HWNSNBM is not part of the curriculum so I've concluded it's a waste of time anyway.

You can have mine, but it won't be enough to stop you getting anywhere. Loads coming on Monday, so they say.

Seeing this topic is going nowhere, I'll tell a Christmas joke I contrived yesterday in my Language class...

"Jean-Denis Deletraz and Giovanni Lavagi were hungry after a tense meeting with HWNSNBM so they decided to go to a McDonalds to satiate their hunger. Juan Pablo Montoya, who was eating there, yells as both Lavaggi and Deletraz enter:-"What is this, a joke?"-"

I thought HWNSNBM represented all things Hung(a)ry. But he must not be subject to jokes for jokes' sake so his name has to be substituted within the joke...???? Am I correct?

No because he gave me permission to put his acronym in the joke.

Who am I to argue? There again, did he give you a letter of authorisation as proof?

Time to bump up this thread. This isn't F1 related but the facebook campaign to get a seventeen year old Rage Against the Machine song to Christmas no.1 in the charts against a Miley Cyrus cover from the winner of "X Factor" (Simon Cowell's show) succeeded!!! The facebook group got around 400,000 members and sold 50,000 more copies, making my day...

Pretty stupid if you ask me. Fighting the power by making people by their product? Thats like saying: "Im anti-capitalist, so support me and buy my product." So the people in the UK will get a crappy rap metal song on #1 instead of a crappy pop song. Anyway:

That's not quite how it worked actually. RaTM had nothing to do with the campaign, it was a Facebook group. Plus the money made from the sale of "Killing in the name" has gone to the charity Shelter. About liking the song, well thats all personal opinion but I'm sure most brits would have preferred many other songs to be number one right now.

Yep. Don't like rap metal and don't like X-Factor. I was hoping for the charity single by Aled Jones and Sir Terry Wogan to be no. 1 - Silver Bells.

I was actually thinking of a slightly younger version of the less than cool James Allen. Not that the Glasvegas one is in any way cool.
