Ugh, couldn't agree more. Sure let's take out anything remotely offensive to anyone from comedy shows, nobody will laugh but sure nobody will be offended.

Sure I'm adopted, but do I give a monkeys about jokes about adopted people? Nope. If it's funny, it's funny. Irrespective of my situation. Most of these people will trundle along and laugh about jokes about other races, cultures, stereotypes but god forbid you come close to their situation.

Reminds me years ago of when Tommy Tiernan did his routine on people with down-syndrome. He ran the material past Down Syndrome Ireland first and told it to volunteers and those suffering with down syndrome before he ever presented it and they told him that they loved it, were happy to be included, were tired of being seen as the elephant in the room and relieved that people could finally see that they could laugh at themselves too and enjoy comedy, much like other targets of comedy. He did all that before he ever told the jokes to joe public. But when he did? Oh the outrage of people who had no connection to the material and the rush to be offended. Made me furious.

Journalism has reached saturation point....the journal is full of amateur opinion pieces these days...people just writing for the sake of it
