Oscar Pistorius arrested for shooting his girlfriend

I've heard he was legless at the time.

John Cleese apparently made the same joke, and is getting lots of stick for it.
Good old John. Keep it real. Be nice if Richard Dawkins followed it up.

I've looked at few other forums today, and all the same jokes are in evidence everywhere. The only mistake Cleese made was to say something in public, forgetting that he's well-known.

If he makes them believe his story will he get nominated for an Academy Award?

It would be the only competition he's ever likely to take part in from now on.

I think he would deserve an Oscar, don't you?

Who is this guy, and why do we care?

He must be one of the top 100 even 10 top famous people on the planet, I can't stand sport and even I know who is is

Well I can't stand sport either and I had no clue as to he was.

I thought it was a misspelling of General Petreaus.

Well he has done wonders for the handicapped, no one is going to look at him and see disability , they will just see a whiner and possibly a murderer

Which is good. So many people patronise the disabled (though is he? or is he a prototype cyborg?) that perhaps they'll think twice about it now.

Jimi Hendrix spells it out, what I guess really happened. Why wouldn't it be that she wanted a real man with real legs, rather than a sad kangaroo half man?

[Audley Strange]

Scrumple, that was unnecessarily mean to disabled people. Tell you what, the lad downstairs from me has blades instead of lower legs. How about you give me your address or contact details and you can discuss with him and his wife whether or not he's a "kangaroo" half man.

He ceased to be disabled when he shot his girlfriend dead.

Let me rephrase that as a question?

[cronus]

I am not saying all disabled people are potential murderers. I'm considering the genuine human dynamic and how pretty the non-disabled partner was, which feeds into my suspicion she would not be happy with the blade-hopper guy, as a father...in this situation.

Thing is as I said before, is he disabled? I'm certain he could run faster than you or I. So certainly he has a lack of lower legs but it's disabled him as much as a bad haircut and a wig is a disability.

There are no physically disabled people. Everyone can do something. Consider Steven Hawkings? In mental health there are real disabled folks but everyone ignores them...ever seen any in the para-olympics?

Maybe he got upset 'cause he couldn't get his leg over?
