This article is from November 17th, so a couple days old, but I found it worthwhile.

    Context is important of course. But if somebody who had some form of cancer went and saw Frankie Boyle Live at the Apollo, I highly doubt Frankie is getting arrested when the member of the audience finds it offensive.

    Baffles me that people pick and choose what’s offensive when it suits.

    I’ve seen the same people crying about cancer jokes, sit and make 9/11 and rape jokes. It’s either all allowed to be joked about or none of it is.
