Wasn't the joke about a downs syndrome child?

Can you imagine having a down's syndrome child...the disruption to your life......the health worries, the learning difficulties???
Making a joke about something like that is crass.
I worked in the NHS for many years and Nurses and Doctors are notoriuous for their black humour, but only among ourselves.
I would not pay to see these moronic stand up comics. Bernard Manning was slated because he talked about Non PC things in his act...people decided they didn't want to listen to homophobic nonsense, but Down's and disabled children is fair game?
Not in my book it isn't.
