Re: Katie Price complains to Ofcom over Frankie Boyle gag
I'm a bit stuck on what to say really. My trouble is I don't think, well I will say I'm not racist, yet my ignorance of what you can say and what you can't say isn't probably up to date. So I will be picked up on and labelled racist regardless to what I think which I suppose is the sad part. Also having an opinion doesn't seem worth anything anymore, you have to follow the guidelines or else.
I can take the mick out of myself, and I'm not offended by being a butt of a joke as I hope I can give as good as I receive, so if I go to one of his shows, I'd expect to him to throw his full book at me if sit in the front row. I can distinguish the context, call me anything you like in a joke but if it's not intended to be funny then obviously that's different. I've said it before, and I'll have to say it again, I'm more offended by those that are offended because they can't distinguish it's context or that they just like to follow the PC crowd.
There is a clear difference with singling out a child, naming and making fun at his disability, at least without consent, that to me whilst still funny and I will laugh (because I don't take it seriously nor personal), I can understand Jordon taking offense and it's up to her how she responds to it.
