I thought this was a good article about the Jimmy Carr business that was quite funny too, by The Mirror's Brian Reade http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/columnists/reade/2009/10/29/jimmy-carr-angry-brigade-is-beyond-a-joke-115875-21780879/ Edited by Baz Windham, 4th November 2009 - 05:57 PM.

Sieg Heil Posts: 3,798 Group: Members Member #34 Joined: July 2008	I was talking to Colin Kane after one of his shows and he was saying that he had been dubbed a shock comedian by his detractors and his defence was that the ones who try to shock are simply trying to offend people whereas he is using offensive subjects to make people laugh which is something else entirely. And I agree with that, I thought he was hilarious. Also, he's a photo of me on stage with him looking like a bellend, absorbing the boos from the New York crowd after he asked me what I thought of New York City and I said i'd seen better:

I am a slight fan of his, in that I've urinated myself when I've seen him but I haven't seen him a lot. I love offensive humour - its funny. I even find that joke about Mr T being Baby P's dad funny because of the stupid use of the initial only to stop using it completely after everyone knew about it. As has been said though - it's about your intention. I've called some pretty devout Muslims stupid paki cunts and told them to go back home to their face but they worked with me for 5 years and knew I was pissing about and they gave me it back because I am Scottish and living in England, I am not even home myself. You can pretty much say anything to someone and not cause any harm if people know you aren't really a bigot cunt. The problem is when you take it out of a personal conversation context. That's when you get the white students protesting everything because they know better than the nig nogs you're joking about when it comes to prejudice.

Oedipus Complex? Posts: 473 Group: Banned Member #160 Joined: October 2009	Condeets 4th November 2009 - 08:34 PM I find Jimmy Car's stand up 'offensive comedy' Because he isnt funny I don't usually mind him, but I was very disapointed by his stand up DVD, it said on the back that this show is for people with no moral compas, I never felt at any time in it's duration that he was nearing the edge, at all. Why make a joke at the expense of Rebecca Adlington anyway, I mean, WTF?
