Firstly, I had a really witty title for this topic made up but you can only put a certain amount letters in the title which ****ing ruined my plans. I would like to please raise this complaint with the CoasterForce management team, thank you.
Now then,
Before you answer this I implore you to watch Frankie Boyles latest DVD 'If I Could Reach Out Through Your TV and Strangle You I Would'. If you are not a fan of standup or even if you don't think you like Frankie Boyle then I still suggest you watch it.... it's ****ing hilarious. That is obviously my point of view (and the view of anyone else with a sense of humour that I know has seen it) but even if you don't really enjoy it, it is a showing of what is probably the most 'extreme' comedian in the spotlight at the moment.
It is, pretty outrageous stuff, there's stuff in there that even I put my hand over my mouth at whilst thinking "how the **** can he possibly get away with saying that"....
It has had many people complaining about it and critisising it, the latest being Katie Price aka Jordan http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=katie+ ... =firefox-a - a list of different newspapers analysis of the whole situation. Basically, Boyle made a few jokes about Jordan's son Harvey, one of which suggested he sexually abuses her which have pissed her and the Daily Mail brigage off and they are complaining to the high heavens.
Below is a quote from The Mail:
'I (Katie Price about her son Harvey) love him and am deeply proud to be his mother. If Mr Boyle had a tenth of his courage and decency he would know that to suggest, let alone think funny, that Harvey may sexually attack me is vile and deeply unfair.'
In my opinion it's all hilarious, I think this kind of humour/comedian is hilarious, I don't laugh out loud at stuff like Lee Evans or Michael Macintyre (who I will admit are both very good, just not laugh out loud stuff) whereas Frankie Boyle is.
So what are your views? Is over the top extreme on the edge material like Frankie Boyle acceptable? Or should it be banned as what seems a fair few people are gunning for....
