Hopes articel in poor taste

I am sure it is done out of ignorance but Hope's opening paragraph about trying to get the fame of 'Anne Frank', even referring to the attic she was forced to stay in is not in good taste.

Really not a subject you should be light hearted or make blasie comparisons about.....like I say I am sure he is a good bloke and didn't mean anything bad by it but he should think more before hewrites stuff like that and his editor should have given him a tap on the shoulder also

To be clear I am not the outrage police here or massively offended--just feels a bit cringeworthy.

It's a cheap shot but I've seen worse. It is cheap though.

Probably the stupidest thing I've ever seen someone moan about

Glib yes, offensive no.. What do you think Mr Kosher?

It's part of the popular culture of the city, so by its nature becomes taken for granted and dumbed down to 'the diary' .... but I don't see disrespect.

Concurring. I didnt see one word to moan or be offended about.

Just a bizarre thread.

Just as well some of the things us and the kids talked about during our trip to amsterdam werent documented. :laugh:

You've got to be a troll.

You're like the bunkers answer to Karl Pilkington but with no dry humour and a few less brain cells.

I think offshore articulated it better than me, glib rather than offensive

Honestly if you were in any way offended by that you must really struggle to leave your home.

Completely harmless.

Infact not even that. A ridiculous thread about absolutely nothing.

We're all really really bored to-day, aren't we? I think I'll go and jump in the Wear for a bit of entertainment.

Jump off the weir into the Wear, that will double the fun.

To honest I think the official site are missing a trick here.

They should be making Jonathan Franks stay in the hotel attic and instead of Colin Cooper he should do the daily diary update.

Actually that probably would be quite offensive.

Only if there's something alluding to Nazis in there. Must try harder.
