Re: Where's the line for Comedians
Humour comes in many shapes & forms & what appeals to one person may well be offensive to another, that's the nature of the beast. As to censoring it, it can't work as it's horses for courses because when alls said & done these people are trying to earn a living in their own way the same as everyone else.
Admittedly some things are nearer to the bone than others & if a particular comic is known for their abrasive style & is likely to offend your personal sensibilities switch off or over, that's really all that can be done. We all complain loudly enough when we feel we've been subjected to attacks & infringements on our personal liberties because of views or comments we may make, should our detractors be sanctioned & censored for their opinions too ?
As with all things there has to be give & take, the World isn't perfect so we've got to get along as best we can.
For the record, I don't really like Jimmy Carrs material, but occasionally he'll cause me to grin.
