So it would seem but the opposite is true. The abandonment of thinking about how things should or ought to be is incredibly liberating and ultimately positive.
If you say so.You the same poster that was in defending him in the Thunderdome thread ( which was fricking awesome - and deleted
)
Thought he asked for that to be deleted himself.

What, McSavage, that wheedling, whiney, snivelling, little twerp crawled to the admins complaining about a thread that he took part in when his inane, pointless vomit of a tv show floundered like a landed fish?
Not that glib silvertongued hero of free speech surely?0 -

If its in the sun it must be true!
Well sources are rare. Most papers wouldn't consider such an incident newsworthy.Ye if you go to a comedy gig you can expect to get the piss taken out of you. He is very smart and original but thats besides the point. He is not half as bad as most comedians at taking the piss out of the audience. What about Jimmy Carr, Jack Dee. They would rip the total piss out of the lot of you but they dont get beaten up. And before you say they are funny and he isnt well comedy is the ear of the listener.
Jimmy Carr and Jack Dee have big stages and security to protect them*. McSavage was on the street.
*Of course it isn't always fool proof (NSFW):

You're missing the point. His entire act is based upon insulting random people. I've personally had the misfortune to see him on several occasions in the street.
The first time I saw him however was a gig in CIT (Rag week a few years back I think). One of the girls walked in. She is Irish born, from a Chinese family, he does not know her. He saw fit to make a comment along the lines of 'Here comes the Viet Cong' when she walked in.:eek:
That's not funny, that's just plain racist! :mad:
Unfortunatly, that is not a one-off case of him being racist either. The number of times he makes comments about people which are abusive or liabilous is ridicluous. Were a random person to use a micraphone and speakers and make such accusations he too would be either decked by a random stranger or would be reported to the guardai. I know if I was doing so I'd fully expect repercussions.
I fully understand that there are well known, skilled comedians that I do not find to be to my tastes - much like comedy programmes everyone has different tastes. I do not like [the critically acclaimed] Frasier or The Office for example, but I can appreciate what they are doing or trying to do. McSavage however is just not funny, nor is he close to it.
Karma struck back, personally i'm happy!

Yeah at the risk of getting into a "everything is funny or nothing is" ding-dong:
Provocative, funny comedians- guys like Stewart Lee, Jimmy Carr etc.
Provocative non-comedian- McSavage.0 -
