Some of the most ardent defenders of "free speech" in comedy in this shithole are the spawn of people who spent the 80s and 90s kicking a fit over anyone who made jokes about Fatima or the Pope, and they display the exact same politics as their parents and are the same kind of bootlicker.

I can remember The Goodies doing an episode called "South Africa" which had blackface and lots of racial epithets thrown around. It caused something of a stooshie at the time because it was satirising SA's apartheid regime.

There was a moral panic about how Bart Simpson was a bad role model, but people are too easily offended now!

Every CD I bought had a sticker on it telling me the music had swears in it.

It's true. Nobody at all ever complained about, for example, the Brass Eye "paedogeddon" special.
