That can't be Gary, it's quite plainly my Dad.

Your dad's a racist. just thought I'd let you know :D

Re: Katie Price complains to Ofcom over Frankie Boyle gag
 

Well ,the comedians I mentions do take the mickey out of their own races rather than others. Something which Jim Davidson tended not to do.

Re: Katie Price complains to Ofcom over Frankie Boyle gag
 

I know. I just watched a bit of Andi Osho on Youtube. Jim Davidson did the black mans voice a lot. (bad)

Didn't Jim do a posh person now and again?

He used to do a white woman in a car with her boyfriend and his handbrake, which was ok. then he'd do a black man and the police. which was very bad.

Re: Katie Price complains to Ofcom over Frankie Boyle gag
 

Personally I see nothing wrong with what Frankie said. He is a comedian and he made a joke. All the stand up on his show is present on his recent DVD as it was all the material from his most recent tour.

Yes he goes too far sometimes but it was still only a joke.

That's not much of answer though, is it really. I really would have liked to hear what your thoughts are on why these people are not allowed to promote their religion.

But he didn't make fun of their colour, did he.

When does it stop being a joke? I mean, if he goes too far, doesn't that mean it's no longer a joke?

Re: Katie Price complains to Ofcom over Frankie Boyle gag
 

Colour or voice and behaviour?

Too far as in what's socially acceptable at the time I would say.

Re: Katie Price complains to Ofcom over Frankie Boyle gag
 

Surely you can see that when the target of your joke is an actual , named, disabled child then that is wrong?

Re: Katie Price complains to Ofcom over Frankie Boyle gag
 

I already knew that.

Re: Katie Price complains to Ofcom over Frankie Boyle gag
 

Well you point out where I suggest

and I'll answer it.

Re: Katie Price complains to Ofcom over Frankie Boyle gag
 

Making fun of those who can 'defend themselves' is one thing. Picking on those who can't through no fault of their own is quite another IMO. There's quite enough paranoia directed towards autistic/mentally disabled people (and with males, sexual innuendo can be particularly hurtful/damaging) and I doubt Boyle would be quite so blase about these things if one of his children was similarly afflicted and his family had to deal with the sort of despicable comments/behaviour all too often directed at them. Life really is quite tough enough for the parents of these people without the likes of Boyle adding to the daily burden.

Re: Katie Price complains to Ofcom over Frankie Boyle gag
 

Unfortunately (and I don't mean to imply Frankie Boyle did this), but a lot of people do dress up serious abuse as "jokes", which is why we have rules on what can be broadcast.

Re: Katie Price complains to Ofcom over Frankie Boyle gag
 

By which it is likely and fair to infer that you would prefer if it was prohibited. Or would prefer to argue the toss about semantics?

Re: Katie Price complains to Ofcom over Frankie Boyle gag
 

I don't want to argue the toss about "semantics"

I do, however, want to argue the toss about where exactly I mentioned "religion"

Re: Katie Price complains to Ofcom over Frankie Boyle gag
 

Okay, I'll play your game for now:

That's not much of answer though, is it really. I really would have liked to hear what your thoughts are on why these people are not allowed to promote their own ideals.

Is that better?
