Should chanell 4 apolgise? They clearly knew what kind of show it was going to be...

Ken who I like? Frankie Boyle. He’s funny, real funny. He offends me in ways I never thought possible. And I love it. So I do rather think that this whole Harvey joke thing has been blown completely out of proportion. There are comedians out there who are a helluva lot more offensive but you don’t see the public exhuming Bernard Manning’s body and making HIM apologise (I would however be the first to back that if it gets suggested as a means to an end in this ridiculous dispute).

I mean there is nothing I would love more than too push Roy Chubby Brown into a pit of cheese wire and then serve his fatty remains to the homeless. But, rather than got to jail, or have contact with the homeless, I simply just ignore him. I don’t watch his stand up and I certainly don’t buy tickets to go and see his shows. That’s just sense. He won’t go away but I don’t have to look at him. I don’t agree with a thing he says but I don’t have to hear it.

So, if you have a disabled child and do not enjoy Frankie Boyle’s style of comedy, why would you purchase a ticket to go and see him? And sit in the front row no less, where he can see all of your hideously shocked expressions. Well, a one Sharon Smith did just that back in April of this year. She was so offended that she wrote bout it on her blog and it caused a huge public outrage. Disability charity Mencap’s ambassador and comedian Mathew Horne described the routine as “rubbish”. Strong words. I reckon society is perhaps getting a bit too liberal with that word comedian…(Gavin and Stacey aside mind, that shit was awesome!)

Katie Price has some firkin nerve pulling the caring mother shit all of a sudden too. Not that many years ago when asked how she juggled being a model and full time carer, she said that she just took Harvey with her to all of her tack ass photo shoots and if he was “playing up” she would chuck a bag of crisps on the ground for him to graze on while she finished getting her tits out. Frankie Boyle couldn’t even make that sick shit up.
I don’t condone abuse to the disabled but free speech is just that. Free. Frankie Boyle just seems to be the one we blame for society being so fucked that we all find his inappropriate filth secretly hilarious.
