Ch**st this world is so PC somtimes it drives me insane. His comment made me laugh, is this to suggest that I condone the taking of a human life?

Grow a frikkin sense of humour, you 188 idiots - if you don't like it, change the channel.

If you watch TG, then by now, you are quite used to Jezza's sometimes profane remarks... :roll:

I agree with you mostly... I think the majority of people probably had a problem with this jolly "murder a prostitute" joke going out before the 9pm watershed. Might be arkward if your 9 or 10 year old asks you about that "joke"...
A little bit insensitive too given its the anniversary of the ipswitch prostitute murders, but I'd say the real problem is the time of broadcast.

Yeah, I think you have mcgon, I'm sure a lot of kids do watch the program, so I can see where some people are coming from. As for people who watch the program, waiting for a comment like this, to go and make a complaint (and I bet there are a few), this PC crap really annoys me.
The second JC said it, I knew there would be complaints, but the question that came to mind is, would this have made the papers if it wasn't for the Brand/Ross incident, and I somehow doubt it.

I think your right TopCat. there are a small few who will wait to complain about something like this... and then when the media takes hold of it and says something like "ofcam has reported 200 complaints"... that will bring on a whole new bunch of complainers who will log on and complain. Thats what ahppened with brand and John Ross. Nobody really complained for the first few days until the media started printing it everywhere, then the complaints started to double by the day. I would bet my last dollar that most of the complainers did not hear the show at all, and just jumped on the "thats bad form" band wagon...

Haha, did you hear his 'apology' last night? Legend.

I must say, last night was quite entertaining, erm, I mean factual. :)

I saw a side to May I thought I'd never see!
