Nasty Comedians

Roy Chubby Brown he has got to be one of the foulest comedians ever well him and the late Bernard Manning.

Manning was know for his distasteful racist jokes and his remarks towards homosexuals.

Why are most jokes sexual, racial, homophobic, or about body size?

I found this on the BBC news website;

Ann Winterton(MP) is not the first person to fall foul of telling racist jokes. But for good or bad, race is one subject of which joke-tellers never tire. Why is
this?
``Ann Winterton's joke wasn't funny. Even Bernard Manning admits that.
In telling a racist gag in an after-dinner speech, she committed an act of
professional suicide which saw her sacked from the shadow cabinet. The
"joke" - in case you haven't heard it - was that there was an Englishman, a
Cuban, a Japanese man and a Pakistani on a train. The Cuban throws a cigar out
of the window, saying they are "ten-a-penny" in his country. The Japanese man
throws a Nikon camera out, saying they are ten-a-penny in his country. Then the
Englishman throws the Pakistani out the window``.

Why is this acceptable,where do we draw a line? BAD and Immoral behaviour YES

I was trying to think of a comedian who doesn't have to talk about any of the above to make a joke and thought of Peter Kay, he can talk about dunking biscuits and get a laugh, so it is possible without having to offend people (unless of course hob nobs have got feelings).
