people take s**t to seriously


This is like white people taking offense with racist black jokes. It's none of their business really. We need to see what the paralympians think about it before we make snap judgements. If the athletes don't give a s**t, neither should we.

I personally don't like the guy, but I don't think he should be fired for the same reason they hired the guy. He's brash and controversial, it's why some like him.

In all seriousness, it's not that surprising though. This country is waaay too PC.

I always thought you were american and lived in America Adam? If so then crack on giving your opinion. If you're British then you need to keep your opinion to yourself!!!!! Nobody over here knows what the f**k we're allowed to say just in case we upset a minority, even if we are supporting that minority because that minority might not want supporting in case we come across as patronizing and condescending. Better we all just keep our mouths shut all the time, especially in 'polite' society, just in case. Obviously, if you're from another country then it's fine to say what you think under the premis of 'freedom of expression', we simply daren't, you know, just in case.

Thank f**k Sugden isn't polite society!! I'd rather hear peoples opinions and disagree with them, even on more contentious issues, than wonder what sort of c**t I'm dealing with behind the facade. I think most normal people can make an informed decision about someone's overall personality based on their opinions in various things, some which I might agree with some which I might not.

Yep, far too politically correct.

f**k me, that was a rant!

I'm off to get a sugar sandwich......

I am an American living in England with the US Air Force. This country is too PC though. You're right, no one knows what the hell is ok to say anymore. Is the person blind or are they seeing impared? I say blind, the government says seeing impared. I say we ask the people this actually affects, rather than a bunch of government blowhards who think they know best, but actually don't have a f**king clue. So here we are going 15 rounds about something the media assumes is going to offend a bunch of athletes that have had harder trials in their lives than what some comedian joked about. "Taliban enhanced"...I get it, not funny though, certainly not offensive. Oh well, this is the society we live in.

What if I find the term "vertically challenged" offensive?

No Grin

The whole 'alternative terms to avoid offence' thing is laughable.

Couldn't agree more.

I'd prefer to be called 'baldy scouse c**t' as I frequently am, rather than 'follicley challenged northern vagina'.

It is pretty difficult to think of many jokes that don't have a victim in them; comedy is, after all, tragedy plus time.

Frankie Boyle is not all that funny - has got into trouble with employers in the past over comments about athletes - and most of his jokes are variations on the theme of "vocal tourettes"; but binning him for the same reason you hired him seems to suggest to me that they are mainly interested in not having to pay him any more.

Everybody has different words that offend them, different things that they hear that they get offended by... To me, the thing that offends me the most, is every time that I hear "the N-word." Not "n***er" by the way. I mean "the N-word." Literally, whenever a white lady on CNN with nice hair says, "The N-word," that’s just white people getting away with saying "n***er," that’s all that is. They found a way to say "n***er." "N-word!" It’s bulls**t 'cause when you say "the N-word" you put the word "n***er" in the listeners head. That’s what saying a word is. You say "the N-word" and I go "Oh, she means 'n***er'." You're making me say it in my head! Why don’t you f**kin' say it instead and take responsibility, with the s**tty words you wanna say. Just say it, don’t hide behind the first letter like a faggot just say it. Say "n***er" you stupid c**t! -LCK
