Why any of you would want to troll this woman's blog I've no idea...that's incredibly retarded.

Logan being classy as always I see. 
Yes, I can see why she wouldn't expect anything controversial, having only watched Mock the Week
Number three is both and 
Number three is both
and the only two bad ones out of that list though are 2 + 1 and neither of them made it into the show.
From the video I posted? What about the World Trade Center joke?
Not heard his routine and always thought him funny on tv and have always thought his targets were, on the whole, 'legitimate': Celebrities, Politicians, royalty. These are generally fair game. To misquote Peter Finley Dunne, to afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted is a general rule I use to judge the legitimacy of offensive comedy.
But if the reports are true then for me it puts him firmly in the Jim Davidson, Chubby Brown, Bernard Manning category - twats who use mean spirited exploitation of the vulnerable for cheap laughs. For me it differs from the reported Jimmy Carr joke because he was making a point about injured soldiers rather then just mocking them.
He shouldn't be censored (and neither should the mother) but people are also free to think him a twat if he behaves like one. Doing the 'spastic' voice and making fun of young sufferers dying early (if he did this) is pretty poor in my book.

For some reason it didn't strike me as bad, don't know why.
I can see why it would offend though. Did that one make it in ? I know the last two were on DVD extras.
It happened because she wrote about it in her blog.
Well yeah, that's what I mean. He should've just ignored her and carried on with his act. I doubt she was making enough noise to detract from the show.
Never been that big on Boyle personally but I do agree that there should be no boundaries on comedy. I've seen Jerry Sadowitz live. Boyle aint got shit on him.
