that's what I was referring to. plenty of people thought it was funny and were slapping him on the back for 'putting them in their place'. I just thought 'what a MASSIVE cunt'.

Amusingly Boyle has blocked me on Twitter for teasing him on his appearance. I'd probably not get a better chance to share that info
Haha

Hope you weren't bullying him? If you said it in the form of a JOKE that's okay and you are a hero of free speech.

If you wilfully misread what I wrote yeah it would, but you know full well what I meant, but hey ho....
Where is anyone censoring anyone you thick fuck? No-one has called for any censorship/banning/or anything close, merely pointing out his comedy is starting to get less and less funny to them. Is it sinking in yet? Or does it take a while?

That's because garf took so long to read this, and similar jokes, that he's absorbed the humour that we've not spotted.....
ViolentPanda
Hardly getting over it.
...except for the timing of his death, which was about 30 years too late.

Making jokes about yourself, your condition, race, religion or whatever, is fine. Having some cunt like Bernard Manning or Frankie Boyle making jokes about someone's condition, race, religion or whatever isn't fine, if they're using it as a way of targeting you or representing you.
I'd have thought you would easily be able to see the difference between the two.

Nobody has claimed otherwise, you armpit.

You're free to not listen to the jokes, but you're not free to not be subject to their effects on society.
Jokes don't exist in a vacuum.

Exactly. We're also free to get stuck into the people making these jokes - Mr Boyle/his underling blocking onestrike is priceless.

The 'right to be offended' and 'the right to cause offence' don't exist as neutral concepts in the same neutral zone. Asking to be treated with respect and trying to make people feel like shit don't both start from the same un-weighted, context-free point. One is asking to be treated as equal to everyone else; the other is demanding to assert that someone else is lesser than you along lines that you decide and that elevate you above others. Those two things are not equivalents.
F'ing hell, I made that years ago. How the hell did you find it?
I quite like Frankie Boyle and some of his routine, but being close to the bone and deliberately offensive is only funny for so long then it becomes tiresome.
I don't think he was being misogynistic however, just shit and unwitty. Kind of like Ninjaboy's jokes!
All in all it is undeserving of an article in a national newspaper or a long thread on urban.
I am the guilty party, quite chuffed to see it dragged out again.

To qualify my last post: yes you have the right to say whatever you want and cause offence as a result. But you do not have the right to expect that to go unchallenged. You do not have the right to expect your comments to exist without context. You should expect to be held responsible for any offence you cause, you should expect to be treated as a pariah, to be ignored, to be called out, to be laughed at (as opposed to with), to be castigated, to be called a cunt, and to be shunned. You should expect to have your words and actions held up and have their effects on individuals and society highlighted.
Say whatever you like, but just like the frothing racist rambling down the road shouting "paki" incoherently at anyone brown, expect to be treated with disdain by people who realise you're being a dick, and don't confuse your right to open your mouth with a right to be treated like what you have to say is actually of worth.

long? It's barely four pages, that's nowt!
And it'd be even less were it not for garf...

Is a great bunch of lads.....
Where's his sense of humor eh eh?
revol68
what, fucking what?
he's not offensive or shocking, he's a dull played out twat.
this whole "oh you are trying to censor comedy" thing is such bollocks, has anyone proposed locking him up, or banning him from doing gigs, no they have merely pointed out that he is a bit of a cunt for behaving like a snidey shit towards a minor public figure whose fame has nothing to do with her looks, nor has she done anything to my mind to warrant being insulted by a shit comic.
if Franky Boyle was as shocking and dangerous as he thinks why doesn't do a joke about baby killing british soldiers, rather than pathetic crap about a glamour models severely disabled kid or a women guilty of nothing more than not being attractive to him? Oh wait it's cos he's a fucking coward who doesn't want to really deal with the fallout of something genuinely controversial.

fucking awesome but wrong
in what way is it bullying... is it a sustained campaign of harassment designed to intimidate and harm the individual concerned or is it a return to a joke already known for stoking the fire... oh wait it's the second one and too many wallflowers like yourself are projecting more on to it than was ever there in order to justify your passive aggressive stance on pretty much everything... well the gig is up... we can all see you're po-faced down on everyone and everything not considered to be worthy in your little emo world of hate is in reality just your elitism once again shining through like the snob you are... absolutely typical... as is your lickspittle arse crawling you're doing at the moment... haven't you got a Leonard Choen record you can go listen too to make you even less happy??
fucking goths...

fucking awesome but wrong
just for reference revol snide could be described as you however it couldn't be used to describe boyle who is if anything direct with all his jokes...
which just goes to show how little any of you unhumouros twats have really thought about this...
revol68
what, fucking what?
yeah sorry, snide would be too flattering for his crass shite.
And I see no response to my main point, namely that he's a piss poor shock comedian and the argument that people calling him a cunt for acting like one are not "censoring him" or out to end comedy.

Garfield, this would be a good point to pin down where people have been censoring Boyle:
