Are we allowed to laugh?

First Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross. Now its Alan Carr.

All have been slated for making insensitive jokes, but it appears that we are not allowed to laugh anymore.

I really fear for Jimmy Carr next actually, just look at this 'offensive video' clip below. The "rapist" one actually makes me laugh:



...and there's plenty more where that came from. Just type 'Jimmy Carr' into YouTube and you'll see what I mean.

Just what has the world come to? We can't joke about Karen Matthews (as in the case of Alan Carr), and we can't make prank calls either. Fonejacker on E4 beware!

It would seem that we are just not allowed to laugh anymore. Everyone just complains, though I suppose its keeping Ofcom in business when theres a credit crunch. I just hope that one day, maybe something like this clip could be realised....



South Park, despite all its crude humour, is really an inspiration to both comedy, and to us all.

  1. I just realised, after posting and actually watching the entire video, that the Jimmy Carr clip actually contains a rather funny, if irrelevant advert.

    Sorry about that, kinda makes me laugh even more though!
