Yeah I can see it from both sides, yes it's a prime example of today's society looking for things to be offended by,
but that said just think if it was a joke about someone's colour or religion, it would have been banned the 1st he said it (horror of all horrors if it had involved a black Muslim!)
Personally I think it's a load of ball-bags and as a joke it's barely worth a quick snigger, I think the bigger story should be "Edinburgh fringe festival yet again fails to bring anything funny to the table".
