Why have you posted something that's doing the rounds on facebook at the moment?

This is bollocks;
there is absolutely nothing that should not be joked about.

...which is why Bernard Manning and Jim Davidson remain so hugely popular to this day, and why Frankie Boyle is venerated as a comedic genius, rather than a bitter unfunny cunt.

Racisim can be joked about, it just has to be funny.
Blazing Saddles is a great example. Jim Davidson and Bernard Manning were never funny IMO, it had nothing to do with their subject matter, though. I still piss myself at Frankie Boyle.

Absolutely
Making jokes about the issues of Racism was what made Blazing Saddles so funny, but not once did it actually become racist.

Davidson though is not only a racist, he is bigoted in many varied ways, just ask any of the disabled people who have been to his gigs!

When Frankie Boyle mocks the afflicted,
it is oh so different, of course.

Righto, then - prepare your best racist material, and do an Open Mic night in Brixton. It'll go down a storm.

Your bigger issue is the total lack of a circle
for "things that are actually funny"
