I went to see Frankie Boyle recently, who I have to say was ****ing hysterical, but unfortunately he tried to make a few jokes about Baby P; you could actually feel the audience recoil! SOme things just should not be laughed at!!

I can and have managed to find some humour even in the direst circumstances, as a kind of anchor of sanity, but there are some things I can honestly say I could never find humour in, and the thought that someone could actually make jokes about the tragic and horrific life of Baby P is beyond disgusting. Frankie Boyle often tries too hard to shock and just comes across as desperate and insensitive.
