David 'Del Boy' Jason in racist joke row

[Mad Cyril]

Jason Pakistani joke row

Harmless fun?

Political correctness gone mad?

Or has Britains favourite comedy actor turned back the comedy clock 30 odd years and re opened the door for Chalky etc. etc?

 

[Napster]

Harmless fun. I thought it was me hat me gloves anyway.

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

The horror! Loveable Del/Granville/Frost is a vile racist who would gladly throw little kiddies into gas chambers. Me Hat Me Coat? The BBC needs to get a ****ing grip. However, the Carol Thatcher episode clearly illustrated their total hysteria when it comes to race, so expect the full witchhunt.

 

[Mad Cyril]

Perhaps the BBC could withdraw syndication rights to 'Only Fools and Horses' in protest?

 

[MK Shrimper]

Neither funny or racist, and this comes from a supposed lefty mug and a hater of absolutely everything Del Boy has been in.

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

The BBC haven't received a single complaint and they're still going potty. No wonder Bernard Manning didn't get booked to appear on Jonathan Ross before he went up to the great Embassy Club in the sky. The BBC management would have choked on their tofu as soon as Bern let rip.

Is the fact that no one has complained to the BBC due to the nature of the joke or the place that Del Boy holds in the nations heart (presumably somewhere in between Princess Diana and the Queen mother)?

Or that it was on Absolute radio?

 

[Slipperduke]

It wasn't the BBC, it was Absolute Radio. Their spokesperson said that it was, "completely unacceptable," and confirmed that they had received, "no complaints."

So, if no-one's complaining.....?

It was a thoroughly stupid thing for such an experienced man to say on air, but it's not really racist. Mind you, as MK Shrimper points out, it's not very funny either.

Publicity stunt to draw attention to radio station no-one has ever heard of.

Hangs head, suitably shamed. You couldn't make it up.

Yeah just proves it's former name has the bigger reputation, as i am sure nobody would say Virgin Radio never heard of it.

Sorry BC, never did it for me. Bit too young first time round and then Young Ones/Blackadder "alternative comedy" came in which was more my bag.

 

[callan]

I can't believe he said it, if you're going to tell a joke about Pakistani's tell a half decent one;

My favorite is, what do you call a pair of ****'s in a sleeping bag?

Twix.

As told to me by my local shop keeper.

Neither was it when I first heard it donkeys years ago, and it hasn't improved with age.
