Just listened to the Andrew Sachs phonecall

Jazzy · 01-11-2008 04:30AM #1

as the title said.

how sad are the ppl that complained? we can all say the usual about "everyone has their opinion" but in reality - if u took offence, ur a stupid f**kin idiot who is so internetted outta it that uve lost pretty much lost all sense of humanity and that ur vote should be taken from you cos you are far too stupid to use it right.

good god, how have 2 ppl that are funnier then ull ever be (maybe except from pighead) taking so much flak for being funny?

oh deary me, they are making fun of an old person. watch fone jacker? brass eye? anything that will make ur anus bleed from laughing? deary deary. its actually a pretty funny affair but because its from a national institution. apparantly its offensive but tbh, its funny. if u dont like it being funny - then u are wrong... cos it is funny. like it or not - its funny. opinions are like arseh*les.... it just means there are more out there to be wrong.

so if u took offence - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ur an anal knob who should be put down as ur existence holds back the gene pool and ur a thick f*ck

That comment was out of line, and thus offended me deeply. I think you should be suspended from boards.ie.

The Taoiseach shall hear of this!!! :mad:

Damn straight Mr Jazzy. Damn straight.

Do NOT reference or discuss any BBC event or venue.

Sticky to follow.

Turd Ferguson · 01-11-2008 10:37AM

Its all retarted tbh. It got 2 complaints after it first aired...2!!! Then some knob jockey in the Daily Mail wrote about it so over 1800 people decided to either:

A: Actively go and listen to the show to get offended and then complain or
B: Just complain without even listening to it.

Have these people nothing else to do? If I was Ross or Brand I would get the names and addresses of everyone who complained and call to their house and skull fuck them till they begged for mercy.

Tabnabs · 01-11-2008 10:48AM

It's all a publicity stunt, Georgina Baillie's publicist is Max Clifford ffs. Brand is off to the states to work there anyway and Ross is such a nob-end he probably thinks it will further his career to be linked to the youth :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

controversy = FAIL

Turd Ferguson · 01-11-2008 10:57AM

Ross is suspended for 12 weeks. He's losing like €1.2 million over this. Doesnt sound like a publicity stunt to me. On the grand-daughters end yes, the bitch is milking it for all its worth but I doubt Ross and Brand are in on it.

You say Brand is off to America, but if this story breaks over there then he can kiss that dream goodbye.

Dyflin....opinion = FAIL

You have, unlike most of humanity, been blessed with a full keyboard. I'm sure yourself and it can get along fine if only you'd try. There are children in Africa and South East Asia who get keyboards with nothing more than an F, the left arrow and a hyphen.

They still come across as more literate than you.

Why is it funny? Because you say so? :rolleyes:

Is there anything you wouldn't find funny out of interest? Where would you draw the line?

Dudess · 01-11-2008 12:29PM

The stunt sounded pretty nasty to me but I think things have gone too far now. Brand shouldn't have resigned; Georgina was chuffed at the start, then all upset when she realised she had to be - completely hypocritical. Andrew Sachs is even ok about it now after receiving an apology.
It was crap work on the part of the producer. Ross and Brand aren't paid to draw the line, they'll keep pushing it. It's the producer's job to tell them stop.

The BBC seems on the verge of collapse - total storm in a teacup at this stage. The Daily Mail is a scourge on society...

Why should there be a line? No matter what the joke is somebody will be offended. If you dont like a comedian dont listen.

We should totally sex it up after that!!!!!!

DarkJager · 01-11-2008 12:48PM

The fact of the matter is that there were originally only 2 complaints, then the Daily Mail (the most irritating pack of morally righteous ***** ever to produce a newspaper) got hold of it, and of course the P.C brigade jumped on the bus. 30000 people with their faux shock horror about the whole thing - 30000 ****ing idiots.

Georgina Baillie proved she is nothing more than an attention and publicity seeking rag even after Sachs accepted the apologies. She is a through and through slut, regardless of how anybody or papers like the sun want to paint her.

cooperguy · 01-11-2008 12:59PM

And whats even better is neither of the complaints was about the phone calls they were both about Brand slagging Johnathon Ross's speech impediment!! I just heard it on the radio there!

Turd's right. Sexing up would be the right thing to do.

Personally very little offends me when it comes to comedy. However if a broadcaster I paid a license fee towards was showing 'funny' pictures from rotten.com or similar, I'd probably be a bit unhappy about it.
If some other private TV channel like TV3 did it, I wouldn't give a flying feck.

No matter what the joke is somebody will be offended. If you dont like a comedian dont listen.

Of course. In fact I made that point about everything offending somebody only a while ago in a post about the whole "Swallow Bitch" affair. I don't like people complaining about a Tommy Tiernan gig or a Billy Connolly gig that had an offensive joke in it if they weren't at it (or even if they were). It's just when a state broadcaster does something you don't like, I think you have every right to complain.

I don't think "If you don't like it, don't listen" cuts it really when it comes to public broadcasters.

I don't think the morally outraged brigade and the PC brigade are one and the same. The morally outraged brigade tends to get outraged by stuff the PC brigade stands up for...

The difference here is that is was broadcasted on the radio.
I watched Ricky Gervais during the week live on stage and he was taking the piss out of kids with cancer. but that was to people who choose to pay and see him or watch on TV knowing what he was like.
The radio show should have been edited before going out. I would hold the BBC more responsible than Brand or Ross.
I am a fan of both but their actions were out of order however i believe apologies would have been enough.

Yeah, but the fact that that 30,000 people went to listen to it for the sole purpose of getting offended and complaining. If the Daily Mail didnt write their shitty little article nobody would have know about it. Andrew Sachs would have been apologised too (if he said something to the BBC) and we can get on with living our lives.

Dudess · 01-11-2008 01:43PM

It wasn't even "offensive" anyway - what demographic was it offending? It was just a rather mean-spirited thing to do to an old man.

What difference does it make why or when they listened to it or who publicised it so much? 30,000 (probably) license paying people found it offensive enough to complain.

Who says it wasn't offensive? Sure it's probably not offensive to the show's usual demographic but that doesn't mean it's not offensive to some people.

Because its a show that these people never listen to. They are not the target audience. The people who the show is designed for and who it appeals to did not find it offensive and THEY also pay their licence fees and now THEY cannot listen to Brand or Ross anymore.

Just listened to the Andrew Sachs phonecall
