It's not a question of what's PC but what is respectful, yes some still find funny but not as many.
Not sure why you align this view with the nativity and porn issues that are in no way linked.

Roy Brown's humour is not everyone's 'cup of tea' but people who do find him funny should be able to buy a ticket to see his show or buy his dvd. In the same way that in a majority western democratic Christian country we should be able to see our children in traditional Nativity plays at C of E or Catholic schools at Christmas - especially seeing as how Christmas is a festival of Christ - but cannot now in a lot of schools, because the active, aggressive PC minority have exploited the passivity and apathy of the majority, and imposed their own 'anti-nativity' wishes upon us by intimidating the school heads and governors into replacing the traditional nativity with 'secular' plays.

In the same way, the PC minority are vociferously campaigning against porn, brothels, certain films etc, and also campaigning to have innocuous words such as; 'Chairman' changed to 'Chairperson', the labeling of 'Boys' and Girls' toys abandoned by retailers, and even phrases such as 'White Christmas' changed to 'Snowy Christmas' and terms such as 'Blackout' banned.

It's all madness, but effective madness nonetheless, because such campaigning is being very successful.

It is also a steady erosion of personal freedom.

I genuinely don't watch porn films, or visit lap-dancing clubs, or pay to see Chubby Brown, but I have no desire to strip away anyone else's personal freedom to do so if he so wishes.

Isn't Sony's capitulation with 'The Interview' just yet another example of the minority forcing their will and denying the majority from having the freedom of choice of whether to see this film or not?
