Who Decided to Greenlight This Crap?

I wish both teams health and may the best team win (of course, I think it’s going to be us).

No matter what kind of fan rivalry there is, this should not be part of it. Just remember not all people approve of this picture. Again, I think this is just wrong. A joke is one thing. To poke fun at a natural disaster that killed and ruined so many lives in the name of “fun” is just disturbing. Since no one knows for sure who did it, lets not start insinuating who did. Just my take on it.

That’s one clever way to get back at you guys for running up the score on the Cowboys.

lol

Wow. Whaddya know? Jerks exist. As it turns out, they are all over the place. There are probably jerks among each NFL team’s fanbase, with so many for each team that a certain percentage even have photoshop skills.

I decided to hang out at this blog, DN, because there are far fewer jerks here. That really was the only factor in my decision. Now we get accused of this trash? Give me a break.

I deeply resent Saints’ fans trying to stereotype all Vikings fans as traitors to the human race. Meanwhile, they have jokes about tossing Brett Favre around like a rag doll in the stands of the Superdome over at their blog, CSC. For one thing, this is a guy, Brett Favre, who is from the region who grew up a Saints fan. Get some perspective.

That said, I don’t believe this graphic even came from a Vikings fan. Over at Rube Chat they had a post from some unknown joking about Katrina. Same here at DN. Most likely this is some Saints fan posing as a Vikings fan looking to stir up trouble.

I really am starting to hate the Saints. All this voodoo garbage, waving baseball bats at a football game. I know the City of New Orleans and the area has had a hard time due to Katrina, but putting all your city’s faith in a football team isn’t going to solve anything. Look at Detroit. Football is just a sport, a game, an amusement.

It’s incredible how pretentious how so many Saints fans demand that they have a moral right to the Super Bowl because of their terrible tragedy. That doesn’t get you anything except help and relief. They don’t hand out Super Bowl trophies as cheer-me-ups. They are earned. The best thing New Orleans can do is investigate corruption, especially among levy officials, and try to build up the city through business and investment, not just focusing on football like it’s the equivalent of life.

I do not think it is meant to directly to offend anybody. I think that the moment that we are all ready to laugh at something, the worst has passed..

I think this was funny and creative… It was the first time I laughed out loud all day.. Good luck to the saints on sunday.. that team has been an inspiration to that city and helped get them over that very disaster. Just my .02 SKOL VIKES

And I’m fairly certain I’d never go there. I understand that it’s a joke and I don’t think it’s too terrible, but it’s still pretty bad.

Although I must say even cryhavoc would appreciate the artwork, I think I’ll just stick to my usual brand of toilet humor. If you think Hurricane Brett is just fine, would you be OK with a Haiti earthquake joke? It’s just tough to make jokes out of something that kills thousands of people.

Let me get this straight, hurricane references are below the belt due to the flooding of New Orleans? If the levees hadn’t broke would the age old analogy of ‘a storm’ be appropriate or is incliment weather out of bounds all together? Katrina didn’t kill anyone (who’d be out in the middle of a hurricane?) What happened in the aftermath was horrible, but this seems to be manufactured outrage.

I watched the shuttle crash. My friend and I had a bet that no jokes would be made for at least a week (I bet the week he said sooner) much to my surpise the very next day he walks up and says whats NASA stand for? Need Another Seven Astronauts
Man I could not believe people could make fun of something like that so fast. I think its just the way people are.

I decended into the crap like the rest of um!

LOOKIN LIKE A FOOL WITH YOUR PANTS ON THE GROUND.GOLD IN YOUR MOUTH,HAT TURNED SIDEWAYS, PANTS HIT THE GROUND,THINKIN YOUR A COOL CAT LOOKIN LIKE A FOOL,GOIN DOWNTOWN WITH YOUR PANTS ON THE GROUND

I can see your point due to the Katrina devastation. I like to think we Vikings fans are better than that. Due to some posts, I wouldn’t be surprized if this was a fan from the other side ala Fast Times at Ridgemont High “Kill Ridgemont” on Forest Whitakers car. Before a Saints fan call foul on this post, I don’t think of them that way, but a single bad seed on either side can cause a stir. I respect the Saints, and think we should all treat each other with respect. The reality is a few bad apples spoil the whole bunch.

I am too focused on the situation at hand to go down this road of the image in question. I am behind my team 100% and I hope we can come out of this proud of how we handled ourselves regardless of the outcome. Thanks DN for this community.

Vikings will win 37-14 MVP AP. He has been waiting for this moment.

Indy by 10, thinking 27-17 ish. Jets could surprize if they get out front early.

This was sent to me as a forwarded email from a Saints fan friend as if to say, “Can you believe this?” A viral thing. It was not sent to me directly from any Viking fan or anyone having to do with SB Nation whatsoever. I assume it was created by a Viking fan somewhere but we’ve got no way of tracing it and it would only be pure coincidence if this had anything to do with an SB Nation member. Nor does it change my opinion of Viking fans. DN members have been great this week.

Seriously, though, what the hell was Prince thinking?

It has a picture of a Saints logo causing the I-35W bridge collapse. I’m sure you believe me, right? This must have been a Saints fan who is making fun of us. Come on fans, let’s get whipped into a frenzy.

OK, that was sarcasm. I did not receive any e-mail like that. But that is about as believable as that post over at CSC.

FOOTBALL Frenzy, that is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wish I could be in the DOME…it’s gonna be so loud.

I wish you the best….SKOL

I wish us better….WHO DAT

I didn’t see where this originated from however if it is indeed only a picture that is causing this stir, then I personally think this is a big overaction. I see it simply as symbolism and not intended to make fun of what happened in Hurricane Katrina. We as a country have become so “politically correct” and have forgotten how to have some “good ole fun” without it being taken the wrong way.

To further my point, this whole post is part of that transition in this country where we have become “reactive” as a society rather than “proactive” which we all know is better way to respond…. Let’s learn to separate “good ole fun” from deliberate attempts at mocking a natural disaster.

I can’t believe how many people are defending this image and say we should just get over it. There’s nothing for US to get over and, other than those people who lost a great deal to the hurricane, I don’t think anyone is really all that offended.

It’s about trying to hold our own to a higher standard.

Just because there are offensive pictures on the internet doesn’t mean I want people I associate with posting them too. It’s a guilt by association thing and I applaud Gonzo for calling attention to it and saying this is NOT what Vikings fans stand for. And if it is what you stand for then go elsewhere.

It does not have to be directly linked to Katrina. If that is the exact picture of hurrcane Katrina than its tastless. It is not one of those may as well be. Storms come up through that area all the time and Katrina was 5 years ago! They are just saying the Viking storm is coming.

Maybe I would feel different if I was from their, but lets say I were a Chiefs fan and Bronco fans had a picture of a tornado with the Bronco emblum ripping through KC. Better yet a Seahawks emblum on a jackhammer attacking the city of San Francisco.

I guess if the Vikes win and move the storm over Miami it will be okay because they werent hit by Katrina 5 years ago.

This has had all the play it deserves… Let’s go have some FUN…

We are sick of Katrina and by now you should be too.

The Vikings are More Likey to Sail up the Mississippi River with Sail of purple and Gold billowing to try to beat our Arses then as a storm.

Now let’s talk scary Images???? THAT Is a scary image.. not some pretend radar map.

      Skol Saints

that noone has figured out who posted it. it was obviously————TRENT DILFER
on a more serious note, i want to thank the saints fans for their respectful contributions to our site. what a FAR cry from having to deal with those pecker, er packer fans, & bear fans. i’m looking forward to a great game, (with hopefully a viking victory).
GO VIKES!!!
