Re: Katie Price complains to Ofcom over Frankie Boyle gag
 

Right that's it I'm not taking part in what I'm thinking has now become a wind up..I suggest that others might consider this action also.;)

Re: Katie Price complains to Ofcom over Frankie Boyle gag
 

Well done that man, you finally cracked it ;)

For all the stick i've received I have had to laugh. If a few people go mad on a forum cos they didn't like a joke that's their hard luck. The fact is it's been said now, and will be forgotten in a few days.

There is no hard defining line (however much people try and bully others into agreeing with them) as to whether mr Boyle's actions were right or wrong - it's down to personal opinion.

My opinion obviously goes against the majority of people on here, but it is MY opinion so all you thinking you can change it can jog on!

MAN???

Maggy dear is there something you should be telling everyone????

Re: Katie Price complains to Ofcom over Frankie Boyle gag
 

I think you missed the point. ;)

In a discussion forum like this, the idea isn't to try to change people's opinions in a flash. It's pointless trying that, it can't happen (as you rightly point out).

It's only possible to mould and alter each other's views over an extended period of time. And that's why it's worth complaining about grossly offensive use of the airwaves, such as Frankie Boyle's 'joke' last week. Complaining about this one incident won't change the world, but a sustained and consistent public debate about what is and is not acceptable in our broadcast media can and does eventually affect those who make and enforce the rules.

And still they bite... this is so easy it isn't fun anymore!

See ya!

Re: Katie Price complains to Ofcom over Frankie Boyle gag
 

If by 'bite' you mean 'respond to a post made in a discussion', then yes, it's easy. It's supposed to be. Most of us are here because we enjoy discussing things. Sorry if that's a strange concept for you, but hey. The forum will carry on regardless. :shrug:

I think, from the behaviour you display, we can all see why you think that jokes about disabled eight year olds can be funny.

Re: Katie Price complains to Ofcom over Frankie Boyle gag
 

In fairness, I also think that jokes about disabled 8 year olds can be funny. It's just this this particular joke concerning a particular disabled 8 year old wasn't funny and was in particularly poor taste.

Nice try flyboy, now can you convince me I should care what you think??

Re: Katie Price complains to Ofcom over Frankie Boyle gag
 

and if you respond to the pathetic idiotic troll he shall keep responding to you.

Don't feed it and it shall go away.

I love Frankie Boyle and his jokes are hilarious.

Re: Katie Price complains to Ofcom over Frankie Boyle gag
 

This brings to mind a story from a few years back about Jim Davidson. He also had a problem with the disabled. Whilst taking part in a panto, he asked the audience, "do you know who I am?" (enquiring whether the children knew who his character was). There came a reply which not one person was expecting: In the audience there was a party of scouts, who had all booked tickets for their annual day out. One of the little scamps, who I believe was not identified, called out, "yes, a Mod:Swearing deleted" The whole auditorium was apparently in fits of laughter, especially when Mr Davidson started to get quite angry and demand that the child be found and escorted from the stalls. The point I am making, is that there will come a time when Frankie Boyle will become the "Mod:Swearing deleted" at a children's panto.

I'll see if I can find a link to it later. Mod: No linking to unsuitable material

A good mate was his minder, he hated him, cant really go into much detail but some of the tasks he wanted doing, having the kid at panto chucked out doesn't shock me, put it like that.

Any way back to Mrs Price, I suspect she complained for the right reasons but is very happy with the amount of publicity this has all generated, imo if the public and media ignored her she'd die.
