to complain about Peter Kay's 'Autism' joke ?

[densekay]

BBC One show last night, Peter Kay enters studio flanked by a couple of Children in Need 'Pudseys'. Peter Kay falls prone on floor & flails arms etc. Jokes he is 'autistic'. Laughter.

Not on iplayer, been cut. Very offensive so not surprised.

Is he that dense that he can't see it as unreasonable to get a cheap laugh from those with a condition that benefit in many ways from financial aid supplied by Children in Need?

Google throws up he often jokes at expense of those who are Autistic.
But on a show with Pudsey?

I think it not unreasonable to not only complain to the BBC but also wish a child with autism on him & his wife, maybe he would be less insulting.

can't have been that quick if he threw himself on the floor surely

I definitely heard the 'VT on Autism' quip but nothing else about Autism.

People missed him falling prone to the floor, flailing and stating he's autistic? How quickly did he manage these theatrics? He's a ninja!

And nobody else in the cyber world saw it either? Or if they did, they weren't at all offended?

Really?

PMSL @ "he's a ninja"

YOu also claim that googling wil show that PK often mjokes about autism, can you show links because I havve drawn a blank on that one.

me too bruffin - I'm usually pretty good on google but can't find anything on that bit either.

I need a new keyboard, my typing and spelling isn't that bad

awww - if it's any consolation I've spent the morning doing the church newsletter.

Went over and printed out 60 copies of it at church (double sided) - folded them and as I did the last one I suddenly spotted that I've typed that people don't have to be "ablet" too .

We have shitloads of pedants in our church among the older lot ARGHH

Maybe somebody has Sky+ it and can confirm or deny what did or didn't happen?

If you look at the entry on iplayer it doesn't look like anything could have been cut the sound is seemless, also the programme runs the normal time a full 30 minutes. There is an entry of 30seconds but that would have been the time between the programmes anyway.

I also watched it and don't recall the first item that the op decribes.

I have an autistic brother so did notice the vt comment but also took it to mean "cut to vt"and autism just happened to be the subject that came into his head.

Gosh I think the op sounds libellous tbh. Falling to the floor and saying 'I am autistic' is totally different to what opther people saw ans what was broadcast. Ass for the wishing an autistic child on them, now that is incredibly bloody offensive and disablist! I too have an autistic son and I feel completely honoured to have him, he is loved and valued every bit as much as our other children and I feel very lucky to have him. How dare you suggest that autistic children are some kind of subhuman curse. Oh, the irony of accusing pk of being offensive in these circs!

arf at ninja

Ooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Chris Evans didn't look very happy !!

Like I said earlier - I was watching The One Show please don't out me and at no point did he fall on the floor or say he was autistic.

The iplayer episode is as was live last night.

LOL detox at not outing you

So - it would appear that the OP, saw something on The One show which it appears no-one else did.......and then seeks out MN to tell us all

Some people are easily offended, couldn't see anything to get me knickers in a knot over tbh

oh show - at the end of that in suggested clips in that infamous Chris Rock clip - as unPC as it may be (and with an awful lot of swearing in it) I've just PMSL watching it again

I missed the one show, asked dh who watched it and he didn't see this(he would have noticed as we are very anti sn jokes)

Is that the 'I take care of my kids' one? You're supposed to you dumb mf...

Show - yup that's the one - and some other fab lines

MaMo - you should hand out little pieces of paper at the door saying there's a prize if they can spot errors in the newsletter.

"I 'aint never been to jail"

"what do you want - a cookie, you're not expected to go to jail"

oh nickel - I had 7 people (including 2 of my own kids) at choir practice the other night - enough to actually do something

yeay! that's brilliant!

I told you you'd get more nearer the time (and that's why you have so many children, too, to populate the choir! )
