Seperated at birth?

[Just_a_fan]

Monkey Magic was awesome! That's brought back some childhood memories.

His daredevil attitude is also similar to Kobyashi on the track.

Yeah, I used to watch that show. Great fun.

Yes quite brilliant used to catch a few episodes from time to time

I think the poor dubbing in Monkey Magic might well have been the inspiration for that hillarious scene in Wayne's World II.

... and Hamilton & Obama do have a lot in common. Both are young (for their chosen professions) black men who made an impact in their youth, had a big impact at the top table in their first season, and then won the championship in their second season, both were predicted to be the next JFK/Senna, and both polarise public opinion as idiot or genius, both have been accused of not being "black enough".

Little known factoid - Obama's flesh coloured ear studs inspired Hamilton.

Final point is that separated at birth is run in Private Eye, a satirical magazine in the UK. The objective is to deliver a heavy dose of irony. For example Margaret Thatcher compared to a fluffy baby kitten.

Good points, well made!

You are grasping at straws for those "common traits", And yet still none of that means they look anything alike... but from your final point "looking alike" is not the point of "seperated at birth", so Thatcher is to a fluffy kitten as Obama is to Hamilton? Still make no sense.

The common traits was meant as tongue in cheek.

Its not as literal as that, irony doesn't really work in that context.

If we're not doing a good enough job, then please feel free to step up to the plate and post something yourself.

Whats so disrespectful of this one against the rest of them?!
Its all in the fun of the thread

Go ahead then. But if something like that gets posted for someone of color I don't want anyone crying foul or racism.

Im incredibly insulted that you imply my post as being racist, Did you not read my earlier post? About growing up in a multi cultural environment?

In the greatest respects you need to read up on what i'd previously posted before attacking me for something which you have wrongly perceived.

I dont want an apology, just remember im here like the rest of you, to talk F1 Technical and have a bit of a laugh ever now and again.

Lets forget it and move on.

That would fall under disrespectful behavior and it wouldn't be appreciated. All of the pics so far have been understandable and funny, but your suggestion would not. Play nice and there won't be any problems.
Please don't bring your personal agendas against certain people in here.

I'm not too sure that I understand either the suggested lookie-likey or why that would be disrespectful. Am I missing something glaringly obvious? Fernando Alonso does have rather splendid eyebrows, as do schnowzers (or however it's spelt!), but perhaps there's something else going WAY over my head?!!?

Well lets put it this way if there is I'm oblivious to it.

Forty-Two - I'd forgotten about Mr Majeika. Classic kids TV that is. I used to watch that along with Wurzel Gummage.

Isla-matron - all you have done on this trhead is call eveyone racist when there is nothing racist here. I think I speak for eveyone when I write but lighten up - it's just a bit of harmless fun. Go on and join in and have a laugh.
