Re: Katie Price complains to Ofcom over Frankie Boyle gag
 

How often should she "let it go?" How many times must she just accept that her son will be ridiculed abused and bullied by those who really should know better? Should she wait until her son is about to commit suicide because he can no longer take the taunts? You still haven't demonstrated how, just because his mother may not be a good parent, the abuse should be allowed.

what abuse ? it was a joke from a comedian

Re: Katie Price complains to Ofcom over Frankie Boyle gag
 

Again, that is irrelevant. Frankie Boyle cracked a "joke" which (rightly, IMO) Katie Price found offensive. She has just done what I would expect any mother to do. Defended her child.

In her situation,how would you react? Would you just take it (as you appear to expect her to) or would you complain?

if it was me then id be protecting him in a different way like keeping him out of the media spotlight for a start.

Re: Katie Price complains to Ofcom over Frankie Boyle gag
 

What are your views on jokes about race then? Especially if the comedian uses certain racists names (n word, p word etc)? If you think they are wrong, how is this different?

Re: Katie Price complains to Ofcom over Frankie Boyle gag
 

So you absolutely wouldn't be offended or complain if someone cracked a joke about your disabled child, yes?

Re: Katie Price complains to Ofcom over Frankie Boyle gag
 

What complete and utter rubbish..Is that any sort of defence?

Don't complain, you will just make matters worse and the media will be on your back..As if they won't do so whatever Boyle says or doesn't say.

If someone said any such thing about my son on national TV I'd certainly be looking to have some sort of apology.And yes I know it was 'just a joke' but you know what, that's been the comeback by every bully I have ever known.

Re: Katie Price complains to Ofcom over Frankie Boyle gag
 

And if some comedian did make a joke about your child?

Personally I would keep any children of mine out of the spotlight, but does the fact that Katie Price hasn't justify Frankie Boyle's actions? I don't think it does.

Re: Katie Price complains to Ofcom over Frankie Boyle gag
 

id be above it and would try not let my anger show

Re: Katie Price complains to Ofcom over Frankie Boyle gag
 

I think we have already established it was not a joke, seeing no one can point to where the humour lies. Do you not think "jokes" can be abusive?

Re: Katie Price complains to Ofcom over Frankie Boyle gag
 

Angry? At a joke?

Re: Katie Price complains to Ofcom over Frankie Boyle gag
 

But that's a bit like trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube. The point is, how would have reacted of it was your child; would you have complained?

I think Peter André and Alex Reid (I only found who and what he was when this came up), have showed tremendous restraint in this instance. I don't think I could be as reticent.

Re: Katie Price complains to Ofcom over Frankie Boyle gag
 

well she doesnt sound too happy about it

Re: Katie Price complains to Ofcom over Frankie Boyle gag
 

How many times would you allow it to happen? Do you have children?

The playgrounds and workplaces of the nation ring with the words, "what's the matter, can't you take a joke?"

Re: Katie Price complains to Ofcom over Frankie Boyle gag
 

I was talking about YOU. Trying to establish whether YOU would be offended and make a complaint if someone made a joke about YOUR disabled child, as you said it was just a comedian making a joke. Would you laugh along with him or would you be hurt and want to defend your disabled boy?
