'Eight out of ten cats'?

Why is it acceptable to make derogatory remarks about Susan Boyle and other celebrities who can't answer back ? Is it really comedy or bullying ? Why do people find it funny to be offencive about others they consider to be less attractive ? More importantly what do we gain from humiliating other people in the name of entertainment.

    I agree but then I can't help laughing at Alan Carr. I don't know how he gets away with it.

    It is bullying but comedians will make remarks that are derogatory in the name of comedy.

    8 out of 10 cats think you should ask a different question.

    Jimmy carr with the eyebrows is a large guy,he continuously has the comparable damn jokes like he'd make up a comedian tale and element the comedian tale at somebody like " specific seem at you...blabla" and turn around and make a bizarre face at the same time as every1 is guffawing

    Because it's called comedy and if you banned all jokes that offended someone or were about someone not in the same room as the comedian the world would be a dull place

  • It's the nature of a celebrity to attract both negative and positive comments and be unable to (or wise enough not to) respond.
