Jimmy Carr (again)

Right, I have watched his show.  I loved it.

As I have stated before, my wife and daughter do not consider him to be funny and they find most of his jokes to be offensive and out of order.  They are not prudes and would be considered by many to have a slightly twisted sense of humour.  


His joke about how The Holocaust included the Roma Gypsies was 54 minutes into his set. After his joke, he also explained why he made it. Before then he had made jokes about rape, mental health, child abuse and so many other taboo subjects which many on the internet appear not offended by.

My daughter and wife do not just dislike Jimmy Carr, they consider the humour of Frankie Boyle to be offensive to.  

I still love both, they bring a huge smile to my face.  I understand why people do not like comedians like them, especially if they are the subject of their jokes. I do not understand why others who are not in the groups affected only pick on one subject that they joke about when they cover so many inappropriate topics.  And I do not think that either should be cancelled or censored based on what I have seen of both.
