Do you have CP?Just out of curiosity.
Will understand why you're upset if you do.

and not otherwise?You can't understand that it might be a bit crap to take the piss out of disabled people by stressing their inadvertently antisocial inability to control their bodies? Whether you're CP or not?

probably upsetas the jokes are tired, some of them are nasty and many of them are just not that funny or clever. Can't argue with that, personally.

In reply to all of you,although some were worse than others, originally they were taking the piss out of Leslie Crowther and the language in the ad.
Having said that, I've lived with someone with CP and looked after a little boy with CP, and although some of the jokes were in bad taste (and would've been with reference to anyone), a lot of them didn't offend me.

What started offas humour based on a the use of the word Spastic in an advert did indeed turn into something much nastier
