Gone to far?

http://www.independent.co.uk/story.jsp?story=99926

read that and tell me whose side you're on...
Rowan Atkinson's or the idio-err-Government

'cause i'm on Rowan's side...eg, will we eventually have laws saying we can't make fun of pigs? - 'cos then we wouldn't be able to use "you eat like a pig" and other stuff like that...
my theory is that there are hardly any jokes that don't make fun of someone/something, so what's the point trying to stop it...

i read that at school today and i was soooooooo shocked...(idiots)

I agree with Atkinson. We have become ridiculously politically correct nowadays, and too afraid of giving offense. We spend too much time looking at what's wrong with things like that, instead of looking at what's right; it's funny and it entertains people.

it's so stupid how religios discrimination is still legal (i think) but then they totally over-react by doing something stupid like this...


Someone: *steps outside house and kills someoneelse*
Government: *puts a ban on stepping outside houses*

A.N. Other: *stands up then says something mildly rude*
Government: *puts ban on standing up and talking*


lol, i could write satire if the damn government would let me...
