Comedians can make remarks that are verging on racist, homophobic, sexist etc. because they are hot topics that are just there for the taking. Rowan Atkinson even protested against Government legislation that would have meant comedians can't make jokes about anything -ist, so it's still legal, and I think people need to learn to take a joke a bit better and not jump on the P.C. bandwagon and call OFCOM when they feel offended.

Oh and just for the record, I'm not a Chris Moyles fan - just somebody who thinks it's about time the P.C. OFCOM brigade calmed down a little bit!
He speaks the truth! I'm not a huge fan but it obviously seemed to be quite ironic/edgy humour and it obviously wasn't that bad since it was allowed on the radio.
If you hear it then you'll understand.
