O/T Clarkson.

He didn't even say that though.

Oh, sorry, so it is men forcibly stripping a woman of all her clothes and forcing her to parade through a street watched by loads of chanting men hurling sh1t at her.

That's OK then it's it? Not violent?

I think most women would prefer acid thrown at them given the choice of those 2 scenarios. Ask your wives. If she hasn't legged it already!

I think the point is that both situations are extemely horrific if carried out in real life and that whether you find it funny or offensive depends on who the target is and the level of your hypocrisy. Which looking at the responses on here to both of Clarkson and Brand is a very high level of hypocrisy! Either that, or fellas here simply can't understand how most women would feel about reading Clarkson's words, which is probably most likely!

"Most women would prefer acid thrown at them"? Really? REALLY ????????????

It’s a parody of an iconic scene from Game of Thrones

Where the evil woman eventually gets her comeuppance

Not real life

Not the point Grist. It's a grim fantasy of Clerkson, about a woman he hates 'on a cellular level' and to whom he wishes extreme fantasy harm.

My point is that Brand's fantasy was equally detatched from reality, but somehow considered offensive, where the same group of elderly blokes find this extremity, also not real life, funny.

As I said, if Steve Coogan or Russell Brand wrote exactly the same words as Clarkson, but aimed them at Patel or Bravaman, you same blokes would be howling with outrage. Hypocrisy. That's my point.

I would like raging to talk to Katie Piper mate & see what she would say about ragings silly comment.

[crashbang]

Look what happens when I mention Clarkson. Point proven. 😂

I don't think you and others are really appreciating the implications of what Clarkson's fantasy means to most women. No idea as to what the majority would make of such a grim choice but why is one funny and one offensive? Is it really just down that one causes physical harm, so that one violent fantasy is unacceptable , whereas the other, involving forced ***ual assault is found to be funny. If you find that funny, fair enough. Each to their own.

Patel or Braverman?

They are targets for Have I Got News For You and The Graham Norton Show every week. It used to be Boris J and before that Trump. Continuous nasty unfunny attempts not a one off parody.

[ragingpup]

Can you not tell the difference between political satire and humour based on a fantasy of physical and ***ual harm? Are they really the same thing to you?

Politicians, and Harry and Megan put themselves out there and they/we can all live with all kinds of p1ss taking at their expense. For them it should/does come with the job. But I'm interested in why the same people who found Brand's comment offensive find one about extreme ***ual harm funny. Both comic fantasy (no one is pretending that the comedian behind either remarks really means it, although Clarkson comes worryingly close!) but one some can't tolerate, the other the same people find amusing. Seems weird.

Did I say it was funny,your comment was very poor raging no matter how you try & wrap it up.To be honest I don’t like O/Ps like this on a Football site.
