Interesting isn't it? I think it's all part of this kind of torture TV that is going on just now - people queuing up to be on programmes like Gok Wan and that fake Doctor McKeith - willing participants in being humiliated. Same as the X Factor - lets get all the rejects on stage, make them sing a song together so we can point and laugh - what have we transgressed to the 16th century?
At least Bill Hicks had a fucking point to his offensiveness - at least he had some context to put it in. The sad thing is the Scottish Comedy scene (probably elsewhere too) is now FULL or wannabe offensive comedians and also particularly offensive MC's who insult the audience, kill the room then get some poor comedian on to try and bring it back up - for fun. It's shit - people go out to have a good time and these fucking radges make it a sport to see how many people they can get to walk out.....
