Close, but no cigar. Wearing a pink ribbon is the sign for this girl and her new friend madeleine to stop playing hide and seek and return from neverneverland.

Traditionally pink ribbons are breast cancer awareness.

No idea but if people want to wear one fair enough. It's not really something I get (but I also think that wearing a red nose is too close to being a massive bell end).

Too skool for cool
And funnily enough it is breast cancer awareness month as well.... I bet the family are well pissed off with this.

Actually, might as well flounce.
Could you PM it? Would be extremely interested.

Doh, all these bad-taste postings. We'll all have take ourselves aside and give us a good talking to.

I'll just post it. If the mods think I should remove it then I will.
So, definitely in poor taste. Criminal and deserving of prison? No chance!

Was it *just* posted in a public space, or was it purposefully directed at someone close to the girl?
That would be the distinguishing factor for me, that would turn it from 'being a dick' to harassment/abuse/somethinglikethat.

I think it was posted on his Facebook wall. So not directed at anyone close to the family unless he specifically befriended them (unlikely, I'd think).

That someone can get locked up for that is absolutely fucking disgusting. It really doesn't matter if it's an offensive joke or not.

Where's the McCann reference though?

I suppose this feeling of anger and injustice, this sense that what is being done is not in my name, this is what you Spartists must suffer all the time. How tiring it must be.

Apparently he said a lot more than just what Fez posted - there are some of them in this Guardian article: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/oct/08/april-jones-teenager-jailed-facebook and it says that he made further sexually explicit comments too. he seems like a total dick...

If it's true, then it's the person who reposted it that should be up in court. IMO etc.

Hardly. Widespread mocking, perhaps. Career-limiting publicity. But criminal proceedings? No.

I do. A prison term is not exactly fun.

By sending it directly to those involved, I think it steps over the line to become abusive (or something along those lines). It's not unreasonable to assume that the April Jones facebook page will be read by those directly involved. So the person who (re)posted it there is guilty of that IMO.
Equally, it's not unreasonable to assume that those directly involved wouldn't be reading his own facebook wall. So if that's the only place he posted it, I'd see that as fuckwitted but not illegal. Mob justice, not court.
I'm no lawyer though, so it's very much just me whittling on about what I 'reckon'.

Dont be scared
fwiw, the guy didn't send it to those involved. That was someone else that took a screendump from his facebook wall and posted it to one of the groups in order to inflame a situation.
