Have to disagree with you. The fact that part of the interview keeps getting repeated without a disclaimer suggests you're wrong. It wasn't offensive in any way IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not sexist, it could be spun the other way easily enough a woman murdering her husband. We've all got arse cracks for parking the bike in. It was also broadcast on Radio Scotland drivetime yesterday in full and they're not one for playing anything dodgy, even with a disclaimer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The adjective "sick" has me wondering if we're getting our wires crossed. Are you referring to the bum crack joke @welshbairn? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm an oversensitive soul but I don't think you'd get away with a casual joke about a guy murdering his wife and leaving her half buried with her arse in the air, especially after high profile cases like Sarah Everards. Reminds me of the Tom Jones song Delilah, I doubt that would get made nowadays either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alta-pete Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 We’re in the Dead Pool thread? Where black humoured individuals set their skills to compete against each other about who might die this year? And when they do die, it elicits high fives all round and bad punnery thereafter? But we’re agonising over a very good (but poor taste? Shirley not) joke that Billy Connolly told 40+ years ago and propelled him en route to global fame? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not vulgar as such but very un-PC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
