Thread Name: BS: Tommy Teirnan - raving racist or what?
Subject: RE: BS: Tommy Teirnan - raving racist or what?
You know, there are a whole raft or comedians around these days who think that white male heterosexual middle class sniping at easy targets passes for satire, intelligent comedy and clever post-modern bollocks. Sadly there's also an entire raft of decent, liberal minded, intelligent people, who probably think they are caring and compassionate and progressive who take it upon themselves to defend these nasty little shits who are making money out of putting down people who are generally being shat on enough already. Arseholes like Frankie Boyle and Jimmy Carr come to mind.
Tommy Teirnan might think he's being clever when he says that comedy is an arena where everything is up for grabs and nothing is taboo, but even making jokes about the deaths of six million innocent people "in context" only shows the man is at best a boorish, insensitive, self obsessed arsehole.
No doubt all the people who think they are so sophisticated and hip are going to come on and tell me why it's suddenly okay to make jokes about the holocaust. What sickens me is that some of them are the same ones who are jumping up and down about the odious BNP. This crap from Teirnan is as bad as anything the BNP come out with and Teirnan needs to get his shit seriously sorted out. I wonder if any of you could tell me the context in which jokes about the holocaust are acceptable? I assume when none of your jewish friends are in the room, for starters.
