My television has a remote and lots of other channels, i had stopped watching years before those incidents, but as a young man watched on the buses, mind your language, love thy neighbour, welcome back Cotter and worse so in a way i am no better.

Are Ed and Sam alone in overstepping racial and sexism boundrys in the name of comedy Chief?

Ever watched Angry Boys? Houso's? If someone dislikes the humour they can choose not to watch, but that doesn't give anyone the right to tell others what they can and can't watch.

Why would "other people do comedy people don't like too" be an excuse for Eddie to stand by, laughing at Newman's antics?

no one died from eddie quitting, so what you whining about?

Errr we do do that, it is called censorship and it exists in all forms of Australian media. The government tells you what you can and can't watch.

Just own your own words mate.
