I know a lot of people had an issue with the guy, but I quite liked him. When it started, before people started setting things up, You've Been Framed was good for a laugh on a Saturday evening.
And he's raised a hell of a lot of money for charity, so that gets him votes in my book.
Oh i have a sense of humour, just not one that appreciates that type of humour. I dont find making fun of people with deformatys or anything of that kind funny at all. I Find it especially unhumerous considering the guy has just died, and that while his family/freinds are greiving, there are people around the world having laughs from it.
Sure jeremy had a sense of humour, he also helped many charitys, including ones that helped aids in africa. Now, some people would call Jeremys deformed hand a condition, and some people call aids a condition. Does that mean that jeremy laughs at people with aids?
Im sorry for the rant, but i think that it is not right for someone to make fun of a deformaty, or anything that is out of the usual on a person, especially considering they have just died!
One of my girlfriend's brothers was born with Polands, but I'm about to go and tell my girlfriend the "small finger buffet" gag and I'm sure she will enjoy it.
Every single time someone famous dies there's a round of inappropriate jokes - it's tradition. For crying out loud if anyone deserves it it's Jeremy Beadle, who made a career out of making fools of the general public.
FWIW I do understand that Polands is a nasty syndrome and it means undergoing a lot of painful surgery, physio, and still having to live with some degree of disability. But I'm torn between my sympathy for the condition and the urge to send Beadle off with a joke or two.
I wasn't having a go at 'people with Poland's disease' I was making a humourous (fairly relative I admit, but that was the intention) comment about an aspect of Jeremy Beadle. You, him, his family or anyone else is perfectly free to have a go about any aspect of my physiology or personality. To start people off I'm quite ridiculously short. Knock yourselves out
Either everything is free game to make a joke about, or nothing is.
