Thinking out loud here. I wonder how many forumites would defend Bernard Manning and Jim Davidson et al with the argument that comedians should be able to touch upon any subject and that no individual or group should be offered special protection, but that joking about WW2 airmen is disrespectful and ‘too soon’.
I would suggest that if you find the Mitchell and Webb sketch offensive then you are weak minded, too readily offended and need to get over it, and get over WW2, in much the same way that women, homosexuals and non-caucasians need to learn to take it on the chin from such masters of their craft as Davidson and Manning. 😮
Any more of this sort of chat and I will start whining about ‘censorship’ and ‘Big Brother’, as many of the defenders of Manning and Davidson do. You cannot even joke about WW2 airmen any more without some whiner with no sense of humour trying to silence you…
One cannot have it both ways. Note that I haven’t expressed my own opinion on Mitchell and Webb as it is somewhat irrelevant.
