I have a request. Please keep doing what you're doing, complaining about every little incident, every word that could possibly offend 1 lonely old woman sitting at home all day with nothing better to do than get upset about something she happened to see by accident between the time Countdown finishes and the time she switches over for the Weakest Link.
However, if you could complain without actually changing anything, that would be perfect.
Because the problem I have is we can't say anything these days without apparently offending somebody. And if that's the case then why do we deny anybody from saying or doing anything. We don't seem to be allowed to do or say anything these days without 3 million complaints. And lets face it, 3 million complaints is nothing compared to the 15 million people across the world at least who would actually find it funny.
Where is my proof? Well, lets have a look... Porridge, Monty Python, The Two Ronnies, Fawlty Towers, Blackadder, and at least another 30 or 40 classic British sitcoms have been edited when shown again on tv. And why? Because they made a lot of jokes that now would not be acceptable. Watch them. All I have to say is watch them, and you will have moments where you say 'oh, you could't get away with that now, but God it's funny.'
So, by all means complain, comedians need religion, health and safety and a nanny state to satirise, but if you could do it without making people take you seriously, I would really be deeply in your debt.
Thank you, you bunch of whining, moaning, useless, boring, annoying and utterly fucking pointless bastards.
Yours.... etc.
P.S. I don't condone what Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand did, but I don't want them censored. And 'cunt' is just a word, shouldn't be censored either. Ironically it's a very good word to describe anybody who actually complained about anything they saw, read, heard or were otherwise exposed to and 'offended' by.
