    If that joke was about any other nationality, race or religion, it would be branded as racism, why do you say fair play to him, when he has just described Irish people as drunken idiots ? Obviously American ''Irish'' must like that kind of thing but you won't catch him saying stuff like
    ''What do you call an abortion in Prague? A canceled cheque''
    because certain people might be offended by that.

    "there's only one ethnic joke you can tell these days"...McCain

    That's true, we know how to laugh at ourselves.
    Maybe if the rest of the world learned to laugh at themselves it would be a much prettier place.

    It is not PC Brigade, I am just wondering why the hell we sit back and happily take abuse when no other nationality does. It annoys me that other nationalties or religions would kick up blue murder if a joke like that was told about their country by possibly the next president of the USA and yet we all just sit back and laugh at our own drunk stupid selves. If it is ok to say that about Irish people then there should be no problems on this forum with these jokes

    In South Africa a black man was walking with a parrot on his shoulder and on his way he meets with a white guy.
    He is so cute! Does he speak? Asks the white guy.
    I don’t know I just bought him! Says the parrot.

    If you like politically incorrect try this one:

    What do you call the 100 members of the black race on the moon? A problem
    What do you call the 1000 members of the black race on the moon? A bigger problem
    What do you call the ALL of the members of the black race on the moon? Problem solved

    I quiet enjoy slagging people, particularly if they're of a minority...

    I'm still in favor of the Irish guy winning over there:D

    I've heard Niall Toibin tell it much better on the Late Late Show. Can't find it on YouTube but if anybody ever saw it, it would be good to compare and contrast.

    Mind you, it was some years ago.
