if you are idiotic enough to allow your childrens moral compass to based, what appears to be solely, on what sports people do, you shouldnt be allowed children should you Barry.

Frank Skinner was on the one show last night and was asked about would you make jokes about Japanese crisis and you could tell he had a thousand jokes at the ready but through grimaced teeth said i couldn't possibly tell any on this show.
And on the 10 'O clock live show that takes the out of all the news they wouldn't touch it, the only way they could refer to the news story(which is THE big news story of the week) was to take the out of 50cents for making a joke about it.

It would be if you were representing your employers in public. That's what he does, and that is why they are bothered.

Was he? twitter is public, I've no idea but I'm guessing his facebook account was private for "friends" only

I have no idea if Ryan Bailey has a wife or kids (highly unlikely looking at him) but if he did I wonder how funny he would find it if his house was washed away in a huge flood killing all his family in the process then when he logged into twitter/ facebook he saw people making jokes about it.

I'm not sure but at a guess, PHIPPS not liking Ryan Bailey probably isn't a sackable offence?

I would be highly surprised if any of Ryan Baileys facebook friends were directly affected by the disaster. Ryan Bailey owes no duty to anyone else over what he puts on facebook.

So then that makes it ok for him to do it?

I don't think anyone I knew was killed in Auschwitz by the Nazis so is it ok for me to joke about it?

Yes, it is fine, You can make jokes about whatever you want.

I reserve the right to think you are even more of a nut for doing so but you can certainly make jokes about whatever you want.

People should go on that site that hosts videos and search for Frankie Boyle. He gets paid to tell over the line jokes.

Facebook and other Social Networking Sites

"Take care what images you post on Facebook (or other Social Networking sites) as what seems like harmless fun earlier in your career may come back to haunt you later in your career, particularly if you become well known and have a family. It is also easy to post enough personal information for fraudsters to access to your bank and other online accounts.

You are advised to ensue your privacy levels are set to exclude anybody other than friends or family."

Ryan Bailey failed to do just that and is therefore guilty of being naive--amongst other things.

Dear God,

My favorite singer was Michael Jackson and you took him away from me.
My favorite person was Princess Diana and you you took her away from me.
My favorite comedian was Tommy Cooper and you took him away from me.
Dear god please note that my favorite Rugby League player is Ryan Bailey.

It's only a joke I wish nothing bad on Ryan Bailey as a person.

So wheres the punchline?


When does it start to get funny?

When do you start to get funny?

My best guess is when people start calling you Barrie McKenzie and you nervously dismiss it.
