The Daily Ablution, October 23: Scott Burgess angrily describes Charlie Brooker’s Bush joke as ‘incitement to murder’ and suggests people complain en masse to the Guardian.
The Daily Ablution, October 26: A commenter directly incites the murder of council officials. Scott Burgess doesn’t delete the comment or criticise the commenter (and posts a comment shortly afterwards, implying that he is following the thread).
Of course the second example is also a joke – maybe even a moderately funny one, if you’re feeling pissed off with hopeless council idiots. But I can’t see how anyone could criticise the Bush joke without criticising the council joke (other than through being a partisan hack, obviously).
"… a partisan hack, obviously"
Hasn’t that always been obvious?
At least an entertaining one, I hope. But make up your own mind, readers – visit the <A HREF="http://dailyablution.blogs.com>Daily Ablution</A> today!
LOL – messed up the link there! Serves me right …
