I am writing this in regards to the offensive remark Frankie Boyle made against Katie Price's disabled 8 year old son on his Channel 4 show. It should come to your attention that 500 people complained to the independent communication regulator, proving how serious this matter actually is. And I'm sure other experts in the comedy production and commissioning area fail to see the humor in this.
Although everyone may not agree, but this remark has not only caused offense but projects Frankie Boyle as a bully for saying such a thing to a defenseless boy.
It it a shame to hear, Channel 4 are defending Frankie Boyle's vile rants and claiming it is ''cutting edge comedy'' it is only comedy when it is humorous and this was not. Perhaps he should peruse a different career? as he failed to be funny and caused offense to people with disabilities.
He should be more assertive and attentive towards his comedic materials, do research and look into things, maybe even ask for a second opinion before his stand up.
From Harvey's(Katie Price's son) perspective, he has no clue as to what is going on as he is unaware due to his disability, so he is defenseless. Leaving his mother to have a say on the matter. But even if Harvey was aware, he would feel hurt and victimized.
