Mental health is never BS.

You'll see in some of my other posts, I've had my own issues with mental health-that was not what I was referring to. Far from it.

I was referring to how Blindboy essentially claimed that by embracing feminism, that it could cure men's mental health. That's the BS.
Mental health is far more complicated than embracing an ideology.

Once again, "comedian" mocks religion, how sophisticated we all are Looking forward to next weeks Late Late Show where they poke fun at the Holocaust or the AIDS virus.

Are you defending the AIDS virus(sic)? I think it's a complete rotter and deserves to be attacked.
What an absolute failure of an attempt to signal virtue.

But religion has been responsible for far more death and suffering than the holocaust.

Tommy Tiernan was mocking Christianity what, ten years ago, when the Church was much more powerful than it is today. It's such an easy, safe target to mock. I want to see comedians target homosexuals, transgenders or refugees. They are the ones who have the power now.

The problem is, those groups aren't as ridiculous as the church. And they don't have the same *ahem* 'track record' here. No homosexual, trans, or refugee individual ever told me people were wrong for not following their silly superstitions.

Also, name a refugee in power?

"My son can't get into a school because he isn't trans!" -No one ever

What power do you think these groups have? Please give examples.

Are you a parody?

You don't have to be in power to have power. Hundreds of young Syrian men have got free bed and board in Roscommon, while Irish citizens struggle to put food on the table. George Soros is pushing his globalist agenda here and elsewhere, bankrolling anti Catholic, pro-abortion groups. You can't turn on the TV or radio without having the liberal POV rammed in your face.

Inclusiveness is the new normal, Frosty. Get used to it.

I don think the dope who talks crap with a plastic bag tied round his head deserves the title comedian. As your posters are calling him. They were over in uk last year and people thought they were pathetic.

Firstly, how do you know they are Syrian?
Secondly, George Soros is a liberal secularist. As such, how do you expect him to behave towards the catholic church?

We note your immediate descent into the kind of incendiary prose beloved of Katie Hopkins, or false news as beloved of the Idiot Twitler.

Do you have anything positive or useful add to this discussion?

They were funny once and wrote a couple of catchy tunes. Blind boy appearing on the late late every five minutes giving us his social commentary with his "I'm very intelligent really " shtick isn't anywhere near as entertaining.
It's getting pretty boring to be fair

In all fairness I think they are silly and scrapping the barrel when it comes to comedy, but none the less what they stated was pretty accurate and to be fair it was satire.
Shutting down comments like this on Irish TV is pretty much equal to banning the airing of Life Of Brian or Meaning Of Life.
Of course we must remember that Life Of Brian was banned in Ireland at one time....lets not go back to such a backwards time.

How many catholic priests would find the below offensive?
I'm guessing many, but that certainly doesn't mean for a second they're beliefs should get protection from satire.

Normally I would agree it was satire-but then again, it's the Late Late Show. It's meant to be serious, even if it does, at times, come across as bad satire.
I was far more offended by both the botox segment, and the 'harpist stuck in the back'. Switching between channels, saw Amanda Brunker, remember the 'she's gonna get botox live on telly' reports, and changed the channel post haste. I'm a simple man, I see that person, i change the channel.
(All the hype, and most of that gets covered on Xpose, a show that goes out in the evenings, and wouldn't even dedicate five minutes to a segment like that. And doesn't go over time either).
But any time Brunker turns up on tv, I just don't wanna know. At all. Ever. So I chose to watch paint dry...I felt more intellectually challenged that way.

But that said, I still think the 'haunted bread' thing was said in jest. I cannot believe that someone could have so lost their sense of humour as to realise that it wasn't said in all seriousness.

Whoa, whoa, whoa...lets not say stuff we can't take back...this is Brunker, Brunker...

The woman who ruined Electric Picnic--well, the woman who helped usher in the death of Electric Picnic. I would argue EP ruined ittself.

Are we even sure BBBC is from Limerick-is it something like the 'went to college in Limerick, started taking the piddle out of them Limerick yokels' rather than actually from Limerick?

Why are the media giving press to a self-founded never heard of before lobby group on this?

RTE set a dodgy precedent with the whole Panti situation. If you dont like what was said on RTE and if you were offended, you might get a payout

It's just embarrassing. I imagine them at home at night desperately trying to write another "Horse Outside ".
If in doubt, appear on the Late Late and say something totally unfunny but seriously offensive to many Late Late viewers.
Let's face it. The vast majority of viewers sitting at home watching RTE on Saturday night are 55+, wether Tubs likes it or not.
Gaurunteed a bit of social media coverage at least.

Because they hate RTE? Similar to every UK newspaper relishing a chance to have a pop at the BBC, but worse because as well as getting the licence fee RTE is competing with other media outlets for advertising.

They sure did, and that's a certainty to bite them right in the bum again at some point.

And therin lies the problem.

RTE is a dinosaur that has nowhere to go but down(perhaps the can all be put down at once in a cataclysmic event that removes all the pension grabbing feckers).

They know no other channel!
