Thumbs up Advertisers withdraw from Frankie Boyle's Channel 4 show after N-word outburst Read
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...-outburst.html

Quote:
The words 'n****r' and 'p**i' both featured during Tuesday's programme, in which he has already provoked outrage by insulting cancer victims, Aids sufferers and obese people.

L'Oreal and Nestle are pulling out after the comic's obscene jokes sparked an angry backlash from viewers, politicians and charities.

Beauty company L'Oreal are taking down their adverts from the 4 on Demand website where Boyle's show is available, the Daily Mirror revealed.

Nestle, which promotes its Nespresso coffee machine on the site, also said they will not renew their advertising contract.
Good ..... C4 will be hit where it hurts most - in the coffers .....

Wouldn't they be a "mob", too ?

Don't like it? Don't watch it. End of story. No one is forcing anyone to watch this show. Its based on shock jokes and is going to be offensive. That is the whole point.

I wouldnt mind him being sick, twisted, vulgar, offensive, racist, sexist or pretty much anything else....if he were actually funny. Joan Rivers has pretty much been all of these things over the years. Difference is, she's actually funny.

That's fair enough but would be different for Katie Price I would imagine as he was talking about her child. I know if it was my child, I wouldn't just not watch either, I'd want something done about it.

Yes, she has a right to defend her son who is incapable of defending himself.

During the near-the-knuckle show he referred to a bomb wiping out “a whole bunch of P****”.

The 38-year-old quipped about the 'Ministry of War' having a 'department of n*****-bombing' in one of his most offensive outbursts.

He is now 9/4 to be sacked after bookmakers slashed odds from 5/1 - and he is 8/13 to issue an apology.

He's ****e. Just trying to shock as many people as he can. Who knows what next, probably claims he's a descendant of Hitler? He's joined the BNP?

Default Boyle could be investigated by the Equality and Human Rights Commission
Quote:
The Royal London Society for Blind People last night called on the EHRC, which can intervene when a public body may have breached the Disability Discrimination Act, to act over jibes about Katie Price’s disabled son Harvey.

In a letter seen by the Mirror, its chief executive Dr Tom Pey tells the EHRC: “It is of course legitimate to parody someone in the public eye... but it is quite another thing to mock a blind, autistic child, who is not in a position to fight back.”

Last night Dr Pey added: “I’m surprised at Channel 4 for allowing this to be aired. I’m even more surprised that they would turn around and try and defend it in the interests of free speech.”

I've watched all the episodes so far and i didn't see anything worse than what South Park or the Dave Chappelle Show have done.

Since when is Britain more conservative than the USA?

I know some find him offensive, I simply don't find FB funny so ignore anything to do with him.

I think he's trying to rival people like Jim Davidson etc to be the most offensive comic for brownie points.
