Should Facebook remove the 'dead baby jokes' group?

    Im assuming these childish barstards that actually support the "dead baby jokes" group dont really find the jokes funny (unless they're really mentally fucked up) they just enjoy the attention it gives them.. having petitions and and news articles written about their group must be some kind of achievment...

  • AngelMummy - 14 years ago

    Facebook is not the place for these types of things, and your right Rachel, they have disturbing pics on many of these groups, and you dont need to join or click to see it!! its on the page you scroll searched groups!!

    It really made me sick seeing that picture, and even if its been photoshopped if the childs parents havent given permission for that picture to be used, its illegal and it shouldnt be done, its disrespectful and wrong!!

    Just like some have pictures of stillborn babies etc.. on there and i'm sure they didnt ask for permission first!!

    No one should be forced to see those pics, and you are when you are just scrolling searched groups that relate to the word "baby" etc.. many parents of children who have died use facebook to find other parents in the same situation so they can grieve together! and they need to type in "baby loss" or something similar, and then these groups come up while your trying to find support

    If these people want to have the groups, have them as a closed or secret group and only invite friends or people you know have the same humor, and let it grow that way, having it public or/and open for all to see is NOT ok

    Either do that or stick to your dead baby jokes websites, im sure theres plenty that you can stick to and not need 600+ groups on facebook for!!

    Above and beyond all that has been mentioned on this site and all the jokes and comments - what has failed to be mentioned is that there is also a photograph on this facebook group that shows a baby being strangled, now whether the baby had died/was dead/survived is completely irrelivant, the point is who in their right mind would want to see that? No I did not join the group to look nor have I "jumped on the bandwagon" with nothing more important to do either. I agree with freedom of speech but I do not agree with nor condone it when it is relation to dead babies or paedonphiles or paedophilia. When you're young you tell jokes that you don't always fully understand and I'm sure most people had told one about babies at some point but then you grow up and as responsible adult you realise that it's not funny anymore it's just plain sick.

    Referring to the banning of cheese isn't really a good example of reference to this group in all honesty, it actually just seems really rather silly analogy.

    Lots of things go on in this world that the majority of people would be sickened by and wouldn't wish to be a part of, either by discussion or physical participation and whilst we cannot ban these things straight away we really do need to start somewhere and as a member of facebook this seems to be the obvious starting point for both myself and many others.

    What's the problem here? People get mad, some lulz are had, you attack us again, then we go FTW!

    I see many people posting extremely vulgar things on our page, yet you all complain about what we say...it makes no sense to me...

  • AngelMummy - 14 years ago

    This is also a place where the jokes should not be, any child can read this, if you want to have a place to have these jokes, make sure its a site where its R18+ only, we know we cant stop these jokes being said, but we can try and fight to control where they are said, and this page & facebook is just one of them!

  • Big Steve - 14 years ago

    Shocked: Ok first, I didn't know that there was even a line that stood between comedy and sex with a child... that's a pretty damn creepy place to put a line if you ask me. And how is that a 'fine' line... I think that if you made a Venn diagram of both 'Comedy' and 'Paedophelia' they wouldn't really touch, at least I hope so. Pro-Tip: If you think Comedy and Sex with a minor is either funny or closely related, you shouldn't have children. Perhaps this is why you keep misplacing yours?

  • shocked - 14 years ago

    i cant believe people are even using this to publish there jokes, As a mum who has lost 4 babies this upsets me there is a fine line between comedy and peodiphilia, and this crosses the line. Who finds a joke like them funny get a grip.

  • Big Steve - 14 years ago

    I don't know how she can slander ebaumsworld for something like this. Just because a few people who visit this site are also associated with this facebook group is no reason at all to level this sort of charge against the rest of us. I enjoy the content of ebaumsworld, and don't want to see it gone just because of this fight.

  • Tyler - 14 years ago

    How many dead babies does it take to paint a wall? Depends on how hard you throw them.

  • Jenny - 14 years ago

    Seriously you sick Ebaumsworld users are the kind that like this disgusting humor.What is so funny about a dead baby?You're sick,Ebaumsworld,and I hope you learn your lesson some day.

    Apparently this woman has never seen the Internet outside of Facebook. There is a lot of perfectly legal yet tasteless content out there. This isn't A Clockwork Orange, madam. No one has pried your eyes open and aimed your head at the screen.

    Dude, that's totally wrong. It's the eBaumsworld forums. They ruin polls like these all the time.

  • Heywood Jablome - 14 years ago

    You can't possibly think that dead baby jokes are funny right?

    Just think of all the mothers out there that lost their kids...

    Lost them before they really ever had a chance to grow up.

    The moment I see something like this I am enraged.

    Game as I am for free speech, I think you should read the first word of each line.

  • Cat - 14 years ago

    The jokes aren;t just about dead babies, its also about raping babies etc I have read through site & think what got me is that some of these people are even parents & if I remember rightly someone even claimed to work with children, this page should be looked into by facebook as I am sure that somewhere it is breaking some rules but maybe not now as I have seen today that they have deleted alot of stuff. I wonder why that is.

    "Jokes give us a chance to take the most awful and terrible things in life and turn them into absurdities. When someone tells a racist joke, it doesn't necessarily mean they are a racist. When someone tells a perverted joke, it doesn't necessarily mean that they subjugate women or are incapable of love. And when someone tells a dead baby joke, it doesn't necessarily mean that they hate babies, dead or alive. (After all, they're so delicious!) After all, asking why a chicken crossed a road doesn't mean that that person loves or hates chickens or roads. Nor does telling a knock-knock joke mean that the person loves or hates doors, knocking, or idiots."

    No government can control what can be seen on the Internet anyway so good luck with that. And no, I'm no part of any facebook group as I don't even visit that silly place. I just happened to.. eh... stumble upon this place by accident ^^

  • AngelMummy - 14 years ago

    Heres also a good question to a parent who wants to defend these "dead baby jokes" or "freedom of speech"...

    How would you feel about your child finding these groups?

    How would you like if your child went to school telling friends these jokes?

    Would you want your kid to out of nowhere think these jokes are appropriate at all times?

    To think these jokes are ok to everyone?

    ITS NOT OK to have it on a FAMILY FRIENDLY WEBSITE!!

    AND FACEBOOK IS FOR ALL AGES NOT JUST M15+ OR R18+

    SO IT SHOULDNT BE THERE!! WHERE KIDS/TEENS CAN SEE IT.

  • AngelMummy - 14 years ago

    Molly, anyone can see these groups, you dont have to type in "dead baby jokes" a child/teen could be sitting there and type in "baby" and it can come up after some pages, typing in any 3 of those words not even together you can find it

    Its NOT ok to have those groups there in a place where children can see them! its not ok, and no one goes out to find them, but if someone does they are going to report them, its what the report button is for!!

    It doesnt have to be about a certain "real" person, its about dead babies in general, its not about a specific baby but about raping,eating,killing, etc.. a dead baby, its NOT ok to spread this filth around, its not about someone who can defend themselves, its disrespectful to actual dead babies!!

    Yes theres jokes for almost everything, but making jokes about babies dead bodies is NOT ok, this is a real serious upsetting situation, not like a joke about race or religion, people can deal with that, its NOT the same as an everyday joke!!!

    Like ive said, it can be the gateway for pedos, rapists, & killers to sit around and have a laugh with their sick fantasies, theres a limit, everything should have a point where you say STOP its GOING TO FAR.

  • AngelMummy - 14 years ago

    The other "jokes" that go on in the world, the people are around to defend themselves, dead babies are not around to defend these jokes, yes these jokes arnt aimed at particular dead babies but they are aimed at dead babies in general, its not right

    There should NEVER be the words rape and baby in the same sentence, and if they said this about living children they would be in trouble with the law on risks to children, but because these babies are dead its ok?? NO, this could be the gateway for pedo's and rapists to discuss their sick fantasies and laugh about it

    I'm not ok with it, im uncomfortable with it, and so should anyone that has common sense, even if people ignore it, its still going on, just like people can say lets ignore the neighbour beating up their kid if we dont look its not happening right? WRONG! if we dont like them beating their kid, we just dont intervene right? WRONG!

    It's sick, its not right, its unhealthy, should be legal, chatting about doing things to dead babies bodies is NOT ok!!

    Anyone who defends these jokes, needs some help!!

  • AngelMummy - 14 years ago

    im sick of reading on the news articles people saying "dont like it dont look" and "its freedom of speech" well, i'm sure theyd say the same if people were making jokes about a situation they have been in, having someone joke about raping someone in their family etc... thats not freedom of speech!! freedom of speech is when its raising awareness for a good cause, or getting a point/opinion across to someone without an attack, NOT for the hell of it cont..

  • Kelli - 14 years ago

    I think that these type of groups on Facebook are cruel and irresponsible. To Dom, who commented above, we don't type in 'dead baby joke' when we join support groups to seek people in the same position that we are in, a number of 'related groups' come up automatically.

    One such group is the one mentioned. Sadly, it is not the only one that is there. In reality, dead babies are not in any way shape or form funny. It is the single most heartbreaking and soul destroying event that you will ever have to live through. Maybe, just maybe, if the people who have started these groups had experienced such a thing, then they would have a quick reality check. I would not wish this anguish and pain on anyone, but just sometimes it would be very interesting to see what situation would arise if these insensitive and inhumane people had an ounce of an idea of what it is truly like.

    I hope that Facebook controllers do eventually see sense and remove them.

  • digusted facebooker - 14 years ago

    there should be a line you do not cross , 80% of the jokes consist of abusing "dead babies" in more ways than 1 , should i note that if a pedophile was to set up a group statin "JUST FOR FUN" and loads of members joined and found it funny saying what they found were jokes this would also be allowed !!!!!!! i dont think so , do you , i find these groups almost as disgusting as i would from a known pedophile heres 1 example quote just for fun !!!
    Chris Pooley Q: What's white and bobs up and down in a baby's crib?
    A: My ass!!
    ^^^ THIS IS NOT ABOUT A "DEAD BABY" ALSO THIS USER HAS A PROFILE PIC OF A KNOWN CONVICTED RAPEST AND ABUSER
    "What sits in the kitchen and keeps getting smaller and smaller?
    A baby combing it's hair with a potato peeler" only to be told by some1 the following ...
    "Stop stealin mah content Also, Post on baby walls too"
    ^^^^NOTE TELLING PEOPLE TO POST ON WALLS DELIBARATLY TO UPSET ALREADY AGONISED PARENTS
    these are just a few examples there even worse than this

  • disgusted facebooker - 14 years ago

    i dont think its so much about making a joke about dead babies , its more the fact that the people doing it think its ok and that its "FICTIONAL" not real , where as in real life it is not "FICTIONAL" and is in deed REAL , so many babies are still born , or die at some point while there babies and unless you have actually lost a baby yourself then you will not have the hurt and suffering these mothers have to go through , now ive looked at some of these groups on facebook and the pictures alone made my physically sick let alone the so called jokes , theres the standard i will call sick homour and then the "RAPE" joke which in them selfs are a disgrace joke or no joke "RAPE" is against the law so is child neglect , child abuse the list is endless , all of which are listed on these so called groups on facebook , freedom of speech i ask is this freedom of speech or a bunch of sick indiviuals playing out some sick fantasy .

  • sick cunts!!! - 14 years ago

    i think these people r sick in the head to put these jokes on the sites. if they had lost a baby then they would understand and think twice before putting these jokes on here. i hope that all the sick female people puttin jokes on here actually lose a baby themselves and then they'll know wot it feels like. i think they desserve it!! if facebook won't remove the jokes then we'll carry on argueing till they do something about it. even if it takes like 10 years or more. it will carry on. i can c a problem though. facebook probably won't remove it coz it's freedom of speech which is'nt against the law. so that means all of the people who want it removed can put comments under all these sick jokes and make them suffer yay!!! great plan. u sick fuckers. go lose a baby ur selves then come back to us!

  • TMB - 14 years ago

    seriously i think this group is sick and you need to get a grip of yoursels!!!

  • Dom. - 14 years ago

    Whats the difference between John Major and a dead baby?

    John Major isn't dead yet.

    Seriously is this worth getting worked up about?
    Humour is subjective. Some people don't like certain comedians, so guess what? They don't go see them.
    Why would these women actually take the time to type in ” dead baby joke” if they know it will offened them? It's akin to putting your hand im a bonfire to see if its going to burn you.

  • horrified - 14 years ago

    WOW i can see that the people who wrote the comments above me are probably the ones in the "dead baby jokes" group on the facebook site.
    and all they can do is abuse people who tell them there sicko's, freedom of speech they say well freedom this " you are sick you need to grow up and get a life and stop saying dead baby jokes, yes if people don't want to see it they shouldn't look but you shouldn't be sick and write this stuff. and keep swearing because you so smart thats all you can do is swear to get your point across. or tell people they have bad spelling to make you look better than them when really your not.

    "A DISGUSTED Assembly Member has pledged to investigate a group which is putting jokes about dead babies on a social networking website."
    AAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHRGHBWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

    Oh sh.... oh sh... ah....ahah....hahaha.....hahahahahaha.....ahahahahaAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    No, realy? FOR REAL?
    OH MY GOD JOKES ABOUT DEAD BABIES THAT'S JUST HORRIBLE OH MY GOSH BABIES DIE FOR REAL WE MUST ERASE THAT GROUP IMMEDIATELY OR ELSE MORE BABIES WILL DIE HURRRRRRRRR

    She revealed that despite making numerous attempts to get Facebook controllers to remove it, the group continues to build up support."

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! REALY?! I WONDER WHY THEY DIDN'T REMOVE IT! I MEAN IT HAS JOKES ABOUT DEAD BABIES! AND THAT'S JUST SO F*CKING HORRIBLE AND WE SHOULD PUT PEOPLE IN PRISON FOR SAYING THOSE JOKES TOO AM I RITE?!

    "After making her own unsuccessful attempts to get Facebook to remove the site, she suggested there should be government controls over such “disgusting” content."

    HEY WE SHOULD HAVE GOVERNMENT CONTROL OVER SUCH DISGUSTING "PEOPLE" LIKE THIS B**CH HERE TOO! I MEAN WHY NOT! AT LEAST THIS IS SOMETHING THAT ACTUALLY IS DISGUSTING! "HEY I FIND THIS INAPPROPRIATE SO IT SHOULD BE BANNED DURRRR!!" HOLY F*CKING SHIT HOW STUPID DO YOU HAVE TO BE?!

    "Mrs Burnham said: “This group is just sick and disgusting and I am sorry to hear it has offended so many people."

    SNAAAAAAAAAAAP! HEY GUISE! CHEESE IS JUST SICK AND DISGUSTING! WE SHOULD BAN CHEESE! I MEAN I KNOW I DON'T HAVE TO EAT OR BUY IT OR ANYTHING, BUT I MEAN IT'S STILL THERE SO IT SHOULD BE REMOVED! AND I KNOW SOME PEOPLE DO LIKE CHEESE BUT GUISE! IT'S JUST DISGUSTING!

    “We are living in a very complex age where we have all this communication with hardly any controls."

    What's that called again, let's see... freedom of speech? OH SHIT THAT'S HORRIBLE! SET RULES ON WHAT PEOPLE CAN TALK ABOUT WITH EACH OTHER RIGHT NOW!!! THIS IS OUT OF CONTROL!!!

    "Some of the language used by people on the group is also totally unacceptable considering children can see it."

    Like, if they see the word "fuck" or "penis" they'll just go full homosexual or something, right? And we don't want that! Not to mention that it's actually parents' responsibility to make sure your children don't go to such "dangerous" places on the interwebs.

    "I only set it up at 9pm on Tuesday and by mid-afternoon it had more than 600 members, which shows that a lot of other people out there must feel as disgusted as I do about it.
    I am surprised that after seeing all this going on the people who run Facebook haven’t taken it off by now."

    Oh is she f*cking serious?
    BAAAAAAAAAAW WE DON'T LIKE THIS GROUP AND EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T HAVE TO JOIN IT OR ANYTHING WE DON'T LIKE IT AND SINCE WE THE SUPER DUPER PEOPLE DON'T LIKE IT THEN IT DOESN'T MATTER IF SOMEONE ELSE LIKES IT WE MUST TAKE IT DOOOOOWN DURRRRRRRRRRR

    "I know people have said that the group is also about free speech but if this is free speech then I don’t want any part of it."

    THEN GET THE F*CK OFF THE INTERNET YOU DUMB...!!! FFFFFFFF!!!

    SHIT!

    MIND - BLOWN!

  • Scott - 14 years ago

    Why should this be removed? Why should something be censored just because a few people get offended? Ever heard of freedom of speech? They can say what they want but they can't make you listen, so if you don't like it don't pay attention to it. Really if you think some jokes are bad have you ever heard of the internet? Haha, seriously some of the things on here are honestly hundreds of times worse. Like that group anon? They are an internet hate machine!

    Really? If you want no part of this group, no one on this planet is going to force you to look at it or to join it. And if you think the jokes are sick, you should see the comments made by the people against the group. They're real zingers. Trying to explain this jokes to people against them works about 1 out 4,302 times. They are not for everyone. And unless you're Obama Barrack, no political power or poll will change the status of the group. Facebook does police the group, but only so much. And there have been hundreds (possibly thousands?) of people who have reported it. Do you know why it's still up and running? Because they're jokes. Not jokes about real people even. It's fictional. Get of your high horse and find something better to do with your politically infused time and stop trying to win over the crowd of underaged mothers that won't vote for you anyway.
