I am one of the most dark humoured people you could meet. I find a lot of things funny which have a dark side to them but that was just unbelievably bad and nasty to Jade Goody. Don't care what you think of Jade Goody but it was terrible in its taste.
And people say 'well its only a joke' but Boyle doesn't put it across in a sort of manner which would make you think that. You get many comedians which do 'dark jokes' like Jimmy Carr but you never really think its that bad with him but Boyle does have problems imo.

Have to agree with these posts.
I have a pretty sick and black sense of humour but there are boundaries and Frankie Boyle has crossed them.
Wasn't he booted off, 'Whose Line Is It Anyway" (mmm.... was it that show or am I thinking of another), for something similar? I can't recall the subject matter but it was something in extremely bad taste.
I mean, jokes about Baby P...... what kind of deranged mind would even consider that poor child's short life on this earth and the way he suffered, as amusing, or anything to laugh at. Seriously?
