Are we allowed to laugh? Pt. II

It has come to my attention that some readers didn't quite catch the point of my last blog, namely, that everyone just complains at anything that might be "comical", and nothing is funny anymore.

One reader, once I made this point out to him, pointed me to a very interesting video that gives the whole issue of these comedian scandals a bit of analysis and historical context:



It is silly, surely, that everyone runs to Ofcom because they don't like a particular joke and they are offended in some way or other?

Surely if thats the way of life nowadays, then God help us all.

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.

The Bermuda Triangle

In my own bedroom.

It would appear this morning that my glasses have gone AWOL (again).

In recent times a friend has lost their wallet and MP3 Player as well.

Things just never appear to be where you leave them.

And somehow I see the funny side to all this...
