Peter Kay’s Car Share degrading women?

[ZeroOneOneTwoThree]

If you haven’t already heard, Peter Kay and the BBC released a new episode of Peter Kay’s Car Share yesterday.

At about 6 minutes 53 into the episode, Peter Kay and his costar start discussing a three year old breastfeeding at soft-play.

The language used to describe something so natural was absolutely abhorrent.

Can I recommend that you listen to the piece here? www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p088wzsg/peter-kays-car-share-audio-special

If you are as appalled as I am, can I also ask that you make a complaint here? www.bbc.co.uk/contact/complaints/make-a-complaint

There are so many things wrong with this. AIBU to think that in this day this should not have been aired?

Can you type a summary please? I’m not in the U.K. so I can’t use i player.
Very interested in this because I love Car Share.

Is nobody allowed a different opinion from you?
It’s a comedy, you know where things can be made fun of 🙄

It’s a joke. If we weren’t allowed to joke about things that may offend people then we wouldn’t have much to joke about at all.

You definitely shouldn’t watch The Inbetweeners then...

He also made joke about expressing, 9 year olds wearing crop tops, operation yew tree and Rolf Harris. Don't forget to include them in your letter.

Seemed ok to me.

It's a comedy. We shouldn't police what's comedy/funny - it can be a fantastic medium for discussing a variety of issues.

What else are you offended by?!

My rule of thumb is 'if it makes me laugh its okay'

I didn’t interpret it as anti women

Christ Almighty. It's a joke. It made us all laugh when we heard the line about 'hanging off her tit in Timberlands' .

It's really not offensive unless you want it to be.

Is the OP Michael McIntyre?

Get an absolute grip - seriously how pathetic being offended at that.

My rule of thumb is 'if it makes me laugh its okay'

The problem is that a good number of MNers can't even tell something is supposed to be a joke, let alone get it.

I'll bet OP self-identifies as having a great sense of humour so this can't possibly be funny.

She probably thinks she's tolerant of difference too. People like this really have no clue.

Thank you for the heads up OP have shared with all my friends , have mised Peter Kay so much he is so funny

Did you immediately switch off, due to your outrage? Or did you continue to listen to see if there was anything else funny or of an equally abhorrent content that you could include in your official complaint?

YABU, we enjoyed it - especially as it must have been "rushed through" due to the current circumstances.
I was more upset reading about Benny Hill on Wikipedia after he was mentioned on the podcast. Poor bloke.

have mised Peter Kay so much

Me too! He's the best comedian.

Jesus it was a frigging joke. I know lots of people think breastfeeding is up there with sainthood, it isnt, it was a joke. Move on.

Thank you

Didnt know about this.
Really enjoyed it.
Dont agree with your complaint though, a bit silly really, havnt you got anything serious to moan about?

Thanks Op, off to watch it later.

I didn't know he had released another episode! Thanks for the heads up OP! Will watch it later.

Ohhhh wait, this is Peter Kay drumming up views isn't it! Hi Peter, love your work! You went to school with my ex husband 🤣🤣

Also, you are degrading women. The woman in this has a name, but you are choosing to call her “Peter Kay’s costar.” As if she is not a person in her own right.

If you insist on making stupid complaints about things...

Totally prepared to be flamed. Enjoy it if you like that type of thing, everyone has different tastes.

I’ll name change now!

For those of us not in the UK -
