Im sure Katie Price’s disabled son might disagree but that’s comedy, eh? But I guess that opens up a whole new debate about what should and shouldn’t be laughed at.
"Apparently Jordan and Peter Andre are fighting each other over custody of Harvey, well eventually one of them will lose and have to keep him." I think it got worse.... Along the lines of she needed the cage fighter guy to stop Harvey from ****ing her
Laughing at disabled children is a deliberate act Nobody I know supports policies that kill disable people. You might just as well say, some support policies that bomb Iraqi children or support terrorists that kill Jewish civilians
We could start a whole new thread on what constitutes a joke and what oversteps the line. I’ve always found it very interesting.
Agree. But if someone is prepared to laugh at those less fortunate in life than them, at least be honest about it and don't engage in whataboutery.
But that’s what jokes are about.......someone slipping on a banana is someone less fortunate but I might laugh at a joke about it. There was a very interesting programme a while back about how far can a joke go. You had a Jewish fella saying it was ok to joke about black people but the Holocaust is a step too far.......but a black person said the holocaust was fair game but racist jokes are a no-no......some argued both were ok...some argued none were ok. As Bracknell said.....comedy is all subjective.
Partly true. It's up to an individual to decide where they draw the line based on their moral values. But I think there is also an objective test. What would the man on the Clapham omnibus (to use a past legal test of the "average, reasonable man") think. Nowadays, that test would find that jokes about the Holocaust and slavery for example, were not acceptable. And I suspect, disabled children would be included too.
