IMHO Katie Price/Jordan is a valid targets for humour, were as Harvey is NOT.
Any celebrity who has there face/image in all media are targets. their children are not.

I was actually quoting Frankie as I saw him live 2 weeks ago and that was what he said 
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.

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

Re: [Update] Ofcom raps Channel 4 over Frankie Boyle's Harvey Price 'joke'
Well, Katie Price has clearly smelled blood, and is after someone's head. The Chief Exec of Channel 4 to be precise..
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/broadcas...f-c4-boss.html
She may have a point. In announcing the coverage of the Paralympics, Channel 4 does appear to be trying to set itself up as some sort of supporter of disabled rights, but it's also happy to show a programme where someone takes the mickey out of them.

Re: [Update] Ofcom raps Channel 4 over Frankie Boyle's Harvey Price 'joke'
im just wondering after all this if Boyle will ever work in TV again. Look at what happened to Julian Clary years ago when he made that off the cusp remark about Normal Lamont his TV career went down the drain!

Frankie Boyle appeared in a sketch on the BBC1 Scotland comedy sketch show Burnistoun last night, which you won't have seen unless you actually sought out BBC1 Scotland on your EPG as it's not networked.

This isnt even a problem for Frankie. If anything its more publicity 
I've seen and heard worse - Chubby Brown.

The difference is, he's hardly ever on TV. I think he's been on TV once in his career and that was for a documentary.

I know that Frankie can be very funny..I think he just needs to choose his targets a bit more carefully.

See how much mileage Ms Price tries to wring out of this. Think she was in danger of not appearing in next week's Closer before she started going after the C4 boss.

To exploit her child to keep her face in the headlines. Kinda makes a mockery of her complaint really.

Not really.I have no love for the woman and I dislike her behaviour but it does not give anyone the right to target a child in this way just because his mother is a fame junkie.
