I haven't seen the show and never heard of the bloke and in any case I never find comedians funny in the slightest, so can't comment on what was said, but I do find that tv is close to the bone many times in situations like this and I for one are not impressed. I understand all your comments about freedom of speech etc, but in my eyes its all about respect and many of these stand up comics have never heard of the word. Yes i agree many years ago there was "disrespectful" shows such as "love thy neighbours" which by the way I loved, but look at that and others, they were all deemed racist etc and were pulled, so why is ok for programmes like the above to be shown and yet no one bar a few bats an eyelid. I personally feel its all part of the yob culture which seems to be taking over.
