to be shocked at this comment?

[mumbar]

Watching Dancing on Ice and Jason told a celeb his facial expressions made him look like he was missing a few chromosomes. .

AIBU to be upset by this or being oversensitive?

What did Jeff say? Was it something to do with the group he brought with him

It was pretty bad, he was chatting crap before that though, trying to be funny but really just uncomfortable. But it was a definite reference to a 'gang' situation.

I agree what JB said was wrong. But I found JG comment offensive, and actually insulting.

I think they both need to be told to tone it down a bit.

Oh i caught that too. I dont watch DOI and heard it as i was flicking through chanels.

I had hoped i had misheard because it is a fucking vile comment

They were both terrible tonight. I think JB was just more shocking, because you expect that shit from JG. But the chances are JB's DSs are at home watching this....

Sorry, you don't expect offensive shit from JG, you just expect him to be harsh, so when he comes out with something really terrible, it doesn't shock as much.

Think my words ran away with me and I forgot to explain that!

This was what i post at time of watching

Did you get the comment about the boys who are experts in artificial insemination? They are likely to get a lot of complaints about that too."

Oh yes, that was it. Very uncomfortable watching.

wtf
Yanbu
is he a dickhead

That's a very insensitive thing to say. There will be a backlash I think.

I hope so fellatio.

I know a grown up lad with Downs Syndrome and I've found out he has taken extreme offense to this.

From his Twitter

To clarify. My comment to Jeff about missing chromosomes was meant to describe his strange facial expressions like those of a chimpanzee.

That makes it alright then?

It's just lazy.

Could he not think of anything funny or entertaining instead?

YABU to watch DOI. What a pile of wank

weedle

DS was watching it I was MNing. It was the comment that got my attention.

researchin. I think that proves what we've been saying. It may not have been meant in the context it was said, BUT, if it wasn't so personal then it couldn't happen.

That's awful.

Would it have been ok to make a comment about colour, race, sexual orientation?

There are many out there who have kids who DO have "a few chromosomes missing". Ask them if they thought it funny!

JB has said on twitter

"Would like to point out that Jason & I are friends so anything said between us in either direction was NOT intended as a personal insult."

"HOWEVER, I can see how both comments made could cause offense so will apologise unreservedly on my part and be far more careful in future."

YANBU. He's there to be the pantomime bad guy but misses the mark with most of his insults, way to personal and not funny in anyway. Pretty moronic really.

Yanbu, twattish and lazy imo

wendi that was exactly what I thought.

I have watched the whole thing back now and it does seem that JB is suggesting 'gang rape/ torture' to JG.

Its a shame in the pantomine of it all it ended up being insulting to the public not just betwen themselves.
