Aibu to want to share my anger against Frankie Boyle

[JeuxDEnfants]

For his disablist comments? I would like to anyone who shares my anger to post. His a ridiculous person and a crap comedian. I'm sure I must have missed a thread about him already... But can't find one...

[toucancancan]

I follow him on twitter

[DappyHays]

Me too, cheers my day right up.

[MmeLindor]

I don't think he should be banned.

I don't think that the MN Collective (whatever that is supposed to mean) gets to decide what is funny and who should be banned.

I do reserve my right to think he is a cunt, though.

[JeuxDEnfants]

"Katie Price/Jordan is a bigger cunt than Frankie Boyle, I like to think."


That's your opinion but what is it based on?

[nancy75]

Dappy, what ever you think of Jordan the stuff he said about her son was totally vile, and it wasn't aimed at her having the kids on the media, it was utterly awful things about a little boy.

[DappyHays]

Okay, here's one... she's a cunt because of the media whoring she involves her children in.

I think Peter Andre is a bigger cunt than her.

As Freud said
"There are no jokes, only the truth"
FB's jokes are a direct channel to his black rotten soul. Jokes are not harmless, lets drop that line of argument for a kick off. They have often a harder impact than any other form of communication.

He is a media slag, though takes the position of despising it all. FB is here to save us from medicority and capitalism. I rather he didn 't on my behalf thats for sure and certain.

The only boundary he pushes is that of good taste. For me he symbolises the cynical and hateful lack of respect for people that seems to be staple in our interactions with each other. We cunt each other out, judge and belittle all around us. Lets begin with ourselves shall we. Make ourselves a better member of society and there will be no gaps for FB to sneak in under

[AKissIsNotAContract]

I don't think anyone has suggested he should be banned. If people want to pay to laugh at disabled people they should be able to, just as people can pay to laugh at racists and misogynists. I don't have to like it but it doesn't mean it should be stopped.

[PicklesThePottyMouthedParrot]

You might think Jordan is a big cunt whatever.

Thats nothing to do with her son and those "jokes were utterly vile.

I'm no great fan of hers but like she said say anything you want to her, but using someone's children to get a cheap "laugh" is pathetic IMO.

[DappyHays]

I'm interested in the banning thing. Who exactly would be doing the banning?

Would someone turn up at Frankie's front door with a clipboard and tell him he's banned from being Frankie Boyle?

[toucancancan]

MmeLindor I don't find his rape jokes funny. It I think what he says has to be taken with a pince of salt. Life isn't black and white, not everyone who is disabled is a victim. I know someone who cares for a man in a wheelchair who is an ex gangster and has been in prison for murder. I just can't see what is wrong with saying rebecca adlington looks like a dolphin. She does. Why are u offended on her behalf?

[lolaflores]

I would like to underline the fact again Dappy that I don't think anyone has said he should be banned. But if you want to worry at it like a dog with an imaginary bone, do continue

[DappyHays]

lola wasn't referring to you just the reference to banning throughout the thread. Nothing to worry about

Not banning.
Bring back the throwing of rotten tomatoes.

Sorry, Toucan. Not seeing a resemblance there.

She is a fairly ordinary looking woman, with fairly extra-ordinary swimming skills. You could say she swims like a dolphin, although that would also be rather exaggerated.

[lolaflores]

toucancan the reference to her looks was done very publicly, Mr. Boyle is entitled to feel anyway he likes about her face, but he said it in a public forum which is humiliating. I think alot of people felt embarrased on her behalf. I don't think anyone would feel any differnt. What has she done to attract his ire? She is a sportswoman, not a politician or actor. Oh, it is because she has no right of reply. like the rest of us plebs

[WelshMaenad]

Anyone who finds a skit about disabled children funny is as much of a cunt as FB.

I'm no fan of Katie Price, I think she's a cunt too, and I loathe the way she whores her kids to the media, I loathe the way she holds herself up as some struggling single mum of a disabled child when she can afford nannies and help and all the equipment and opportunities that most of us parents of disabled children can only dream of. But neither she nor Harvey deserved Boyle's low blows. It's bollocks that it was only aimed at her. When she claimed his comments had caused Harvey to be bullied he said something like "I don't believe the kids at his school have been wanting to bully him and until now have struggled to find an angle". What a smug self righteous twat.

I don't want him banned. Possibly kneecapped. But mostly I want to laugh at the slow slide into tragic obscurity and career graveyard that most certainly awaits him.

[UserNameNotAvailable]

YANBU

I can't stand him after what he said about Katie price's son Harvey. His disabled jokes when they ate aimed at no-one in particular aren't my cup of tea but I just shrug them off but to name an innocent child who is disabled and mock them is horrible and then to add insult to injury say he has an incestuous relationship with Katie took it too far and now I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire.

[DappyHays]

I thought his comments about her face looking like a face reflected on a spoon were closer to the mark than the dolphin stuff.

[threeOrangesocksmorgan]

wow what a sick post

[DappyHays]

That was one good looking dolphin you posted a pic of Mme.

[MmeLindor]

But don't you see how unacceptable it is to point and laugh at someone because of their appearance? And how unkind.

How would you feel if your looks were ridiculed by a comedian? Or if your children were made fun of because of their looks?

He is out for the cheap laugh

[ScarletLady02]

I used to like him, but he's just doing things for shock value now which just isn't funny. You can poke fun at things that are seen as offensive without being vile about it.

Has anyone seen Brendon Burns? He was banned from the BBC I think. I watched one of his shows and there were times when I wasn't sure if I should be laughing or not but it's worth sticking with it because it's actually very clever. He's not for everyone obviously.

[lolaflores]

Dappy are you laughing in that sense of "glad its not me". Like the minions of the playground bully, happy to snigger in the background.
What qualifies you to pass comment on how anyone looks?
