Re: [Update] Ofcom raps Channel 4 over Frankie Boyle's Harvey Price 'joke'

He is a very funny guy, but many people take his jokes the wrong way. He is a comedian and nothing he says is serious, thats why they are called jokes.

Every comedian and all types of humor poke fun at people, religions, objects, things people observe. Just the way Frankie tells them that gets him noticed mor than anyone else. There will always be someone that gets offended by a particular joke.

I guess its his not giving a crap attitude and saying what he wants.
Not really. In my case, I do consider him a good comedian. In this case, however, the joke was not only an offensive joke (a lot of which I find funny), but it was aimed at a child that he named. That is what is wrong.

Any celebrity who has there face/image in all media are targets. their children are not.
Indeed.

I suspect Katie Price would agree. After all, she has probably been spoofed hundreds of times without apparently commenting on it.
