This link is very, very offensive. Adding more insult and injury to a proud franchise.

If you think this video is funny, then you want General Motors to close down, laugh at Detroit's high dropout  and homicide rates , Mayor Kilpatrick's troubles and October 31st.

Nobody ever made fun of the 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-14).

Nobody made fun of the 1982 Baltimore Colts (0-8-1).

Nobody ever made fun of the 1960 Dallas Cowboys (0-11-1).

Nobody ever made fun of the 1943 Steagles (0-11, team made up of Eagles and Steelers during WWII).

I looked at this video, and it is a slap in the face to the team, the people of Detroit and to the Lions organization.

I think the Ford family should see this and tell Bang Cartoons to take this repulsive cartoon off immediately.

OK

Yeah, it was pretty offensive. I wouldn’t say no one ever made fun of those teams…of course, they did. They just didn’t have the technological mediums that we do today.

GO LIONS! RESTORE THE ROAR!

I thought it was funny

I’m not rooting for anything you’ve mentioned in your first sentence, though. The lil retarded kid as Matt Millens mentor was funny.

Let everyone else laugh, they don’t have the stones to last here. This town is tough and hardworking and I love it. Detroit will rebound

Detroit is tougher than some dumb video....

I saw this when it first surfaced… and I gotta say, it’s not far off… which is a scary funny.

As for GM, if you want to bring politics into this site, I believe if a company can’t survive, it shouldn’t. That’s the american way.

I did laugh at the stupidity of Kilpatrick.

Homicides and Drop out rates reflect the leadership.

Up yours if you don’t like my opinions, you asked for them.

Detroit is never as bad

as outsiders tend to portray it in crap such as this cartoon. I recall a Pistons game a few years back where someone put pictures of poverty-stricken disaster areas up on the Jumbotron. Jay Leno always pokes fun at Detroit as well.

The thing to remember is, we’re still here. We hold our heads high and this sort of crap usually comes and goes.

Pistons at Kings, 11/7/05.

Check out Sactown Royalty for the Kings view of this.

what...

that wasn’t that bad. It’s called a sense of humor, not to mention that posting the link is great advertisement. I’m about as loyal of a fan you’ll find, but they went 0-16, so the jokes come with the territory. And as far as Detroit goes, it’s a big city that has major issues, jokes also come with the territory. I think you may be overreacting.

Oh come on! Get a sense of humor! That was funny! If you can’t laugh at yourself as a Lions fan, then you better go find another team. I’ve been a fan my whole life and haven’t seen this organization do a whole lot of things right in the past. All that crap in your first line have nothing to do with the Lions sucking fart juice last year, which is the whole point of the video. They were pathetic and everyone knows it. They’re doing good things to try and turn it around, so there’s still hope. But the debacle that was the Millen Era was a train wreck that needed to be made fun of. The Ford family needs to be absolutely ridiculed for that mess. Thats the only way to ensure that we’ll never see the Lions have another imperfect season again.
