As the response to her complaint pointed out, people like Jeremy Clarkson are frequently referred to, in a very nasty way. Would she have like to have been portrayed in a cartoon in this manner? Would any gay person be allowed to be portrayed in that manner, no matter what they had said or done, especially in publications like that one. |
Some people will never get it!!!
To make it really simple how about this, would it be OK to have made a crack about say Lenny Henry in the late 70's whereby the comment praised his skills as a comedian and singer, but in the same article described him as "the c*** who could hold a tune"?
How is the above example any different to what you are defending?
As regards people being offensive to Clarkson...so what, he has purposely brought that on himself by making a living out of being contraversal and offensive, CB hasn't.
