kvalidir - "I think he considers himself 'satirical' andy. The problem with that is that most people disagree with him, however there is always an element of 'Emperor's New clothes' in TV etc and wanting to be the 'edgiest' the ' most dangerous' and so on. He clearly pitched himself a edgy laddish humour to someone who bought into that and then has realised to his cost that his audience don't actually find him funny"
I think you've pretty much summed up the situation there kal.
I can quite appreciate laddish humour - if you look at the success of Celebrity Juice, there is obviously a massive audience for it, but this guy seems to have less than co judgement about what is actually funny, and what is frightening and / or offensive.
I have never believed the defence of 'It's not to be taken seriously ...', or 'It's a character, it's not real ...'.
Giving yourself a silly name and pretending to be a character doesn't add a previously missing element of humour to rape and sexual harrassment.
