As my dear late father used to say, “Aaaaah, I don’t think it’ll amount to much.”

As Jeff Duncan said today, “The Vikings may be walking into a buzzsaw….”

And as Giselle said sort of but not really, “F da Wikings!”

When asked by the dental office receptionist if she would please take a picture of Brett Farve at the game, suzjo4 replied “Yeah I’ll take a picture of him on his BACK on the Superdome floor. How’s that??”

Misrepresented that quote to Giselle, it was suzjo4 who actually did say “F da Wikings!”

Those who never experienced the horrifying events of Katrina will never understand it. I try not to let it get to me…

But man, that totally lacks tact.

Just as LSU’s uniforms are not “purple and gold”, nor are the vikings’ colors.

That’s yellow.

pure and simple.

It’s guaranteed to dissipate before it can even make landfall.

Completely tactless.

I find it no worse than the fact that some of the options in our nickname voting were “the Perfect Storm” and “Category 5.” It just calls the Vikings a hurricane about to hit New Orleans, and doesn’t mention Katrina.

and f the bears too! minn is covered in snow right now, id rather take my chances with a hurricane then deal with that depressing crap every year. have fun digging your car out of the snow today, and remember that i didnt even wear a jacket to work.

Not cool at all. Very tasteless.

Katrina jokes are classless, but I hate to give something like this a second more of thought than it deserves. I think it’s poor form, but I also can’t expect those people to understand what me, my family and friends went through because of Katrina. I don’t expect them to understand that I had to make my home in Virginia because of Katrina and that while I’d love to move back under ideal circumstances, I can’t. The pain that comes with what I experienced, and to what we all experienced with Katrina to a certain degree isn’t changed (for better or for worse) because of this stupid thing above. I will say, though, that Karma has a way of working things out. I’m a big believer in that, that you reap what you sow. I think whoever sent you that picture Dave will get his in time.

if you look hard enough there’s a million things out there that can offend you. You can either turn negativity energy towards that, or you can ignore it and put positive energy towards things that matter. Like what? How about like the Saints going to the Superbowl??

compared to what Bears fans did. Still, I’d like the person who came up with this to have the stones to carry that on a sign on Poydras Street Sunday afternoon.

How does this make you feel?

Um… Dr. Cariello, I’ve been mean to tell you… I think I’d be more comfortable talking to Dr. Melfi, if that’s all right. She’s better with my mother issues.

I mean, I didn’t even go through Katrina, and had left the area years beforehand. But I saw the twin spans afterwards (in pictures at least). I know what people in that area went through, to at least some degree. Anybody who would make a joke like that is heartless and clueless. I don’t expect them to fully understand. Heck I don’t either, I wasn’t there. But a tiny bit of sympathy is in order from ANY actual human being. The designer of this doesn’t qualify.

Now I’ll also agree with other people that it’s not really offensive. Tasteless. Classless. Idiotic. Yes, yes, and yes. But offensive is an over-abused buzzword with no real meaning anymore, and anybody who wastes their time being offended is only hurting themselves.

But it’s still utterly classless and very, very rude. After this, the only fair and adequate karmic repayment would be for Brett and company to leave utterly humiliated. I hope we get to witness that.

Shocking! Completely shocking!

Seriously, there are always bad apples in evry bushel. On every side of any large argument.

I mean, are all Christians despicable because of things Pat Robertson says about Haiti?

Rude, classless…

But nothing I wouldn’t expect from some 30 year old moron who faps to porn in his mother’s basement, which is where he lives. That might not be the person who made that, but it wouldn’t be far off.

I do feel that NOLA natives can refrence it how they wish without being seen as tasteless. Having never been to NOLA I would never do it myself so yes this person and others show great disrespect. Maybe its the reference of a specific event as opposed to a strong weather system in general. There are the Miami Hurricanes and other such teams around. The point being, they arent calling themselves the Miami Katrinas so maybe thats the difference. Here in Kansas we reference tonados all the damn time in the military, school teams etc. But I do side with the locals because I know I would be offended if I had the Greenwich tonado that whiped out an entire town (and it still is nothing but a blip compared to the devastation of Katrina) thrown in my face. To sum up my rambling, others should show some respect and the locals should take pride in surviving and thriving after something happens to them.

shouldn’t it be moving north to south? he should be somewhere around missouri by now right?

Give the Saint faithful bulletin board material.

The facts are that we have a home game left and ya’ll don’t. You’ll hear from us before we hear from you.

Saints—The Legend Killers

We have to admit that it put New Orleans prominently back on the map (via almost wiping it off). “Those” people just naturally put the two together.

The image speaks for itself: The outside of the hurricane blows and the center of it sucks!!!!!!

Now, having said that, let’s shove a few storm shutters up the Vikings butts and splinter their will to survive!!!!

but will be leaving a mere LOW pressure system……….Favre in the ground (if you know what I mean)……….WHO DAT

…but all we need is a good stiff Brees!
(Whew, I almost stumbled into more Pfizer jokes.)

Quite frankly, I doubt that any Vikings fan created this or did the other trollings about Katrina. Where’s the proof that this came from a Vikings fan?

To the creator of this graphic, I’ll just go N.O. “Old School” and say “YO-Mama MF”

“It doesn’t offend me as a jew. It offends me as a comedian!”

The worst thing about the pic (or the millions of others just like it from the opponents of all Louisiana-based sports teams since Aug 2005) is that it’s just not the least bit funny, or clever, or original, or smart, or amusing.

Offensive? Meh. It’s too lame to be offensive. We’ve all seen this same “joke” done over and over and over and over and over. It’s far too easy. A monkey could “think of it.” It requires absolutely zero intelligence, sense of humor or creativity.

I think (hope) that all but the most pearl-clutching of oversensitive, maudlin drama queens are long past genuinely getting their feelings hurt by things as banal and trivial as this. Which isn’t to say that it’s not “classless” or whatever. Clearly it is, but so what?

The problem, in my opinion, isn’t that it’s classless. It’s that it’s just so very stupid and unfunny.

That is the most pathetic, tacky, poor taste I have ever seen. If I didn’t hate the Vikings before, I do now.

Saintsational has stated that he doesn’t know where the image came from. It was a viral image that showed up in his email.

You have no idea if this image came from a Viking fan or not. More likely it’s some idiot just seeking attention and this is exactly what they are looking for.

Here is what Saintsational posted on the DN response to this post…

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.

You guys have no clue if a Vikings fan even did this but you are treating it as such.

There is garbage like this all over the internet. How is this main page news?

1. Breathe in

Good luck today gentlemen. I thought the picture was totally classless and it does’t represent the great people from the state of Minnesota or the Vikings fan base. I’ve been a Vikes fan my entire life and I was in the gulf region during Katrina so I know what you went through as does most of the nation.
