gerry forbes in trouble?

[finboy]

i was listening to forbes and friends on they way to work the other day and the he kept on appologizing for offending someone, anyone know anything about it?

[euro tang]

for offending someone? what do u mean by that?

[finboy]

dunno, he was appologizing saying he was joking around, and that he didn't mean to offend anyone, apperantly it was in the paper

[powerslave]

Yeah, it was in the Herald today, I just glanced at it, didn't really read it. Something about him making fun of Muslims or something? Not sure, too lazy to go get the paper.

bah....this isn't the first time....whicksey has gotten in trouble for stuff he said on the air too.....it's not exactly a big deal imho

Its just a piece of comedy. If a group of caucasions (sp?) blew up the trade centres he would have made the same joke on white people, him being white as well, its all for shits and giggles.

[syeve]

^^^ yah, I make fun of those stupid white bastards that blew up that building in Oklahoma.

People take shit too seriously...it was a JOKE. I hate people that have nothing better to do then to complain. I don't see the difference between the joke Forbes said and anything said at a comedy club like Yuk Yuks. I personally think it was damn funny!

Yeah, stuff said at Comedy clubs is 100X worse. however, it is bound to happen on the radio at one point or another. Not everyone thinks the same, and when you go to a comedy club, you know what you're getting into, radio, you dont. I could care less, I know forbes and that he ment it only as a joke, but some people dont see it that way and some people are more sensitive and perhapse oversensitive to those issues and love to pounce on the opportunity to wave the race/nationality card whenever possible. Life is about compromise.

[method]

the difference is, this a radio station. Easily offended religious types dont do to comedy clubs..

[Redlyne_mr2]

When Im out west I listen to CJ on a regular basis, pretty good rock station haha but their morning show is definitely blue collar red neck it was only a matter of time

[91_Integz]

I could see how it might be offensive but still, if you don't like it don't listen to it IMO
I just think people get offended too easily

[hockeybronx]

Man I'm so sick of people who complain about things like that.

That morning show exists solely to make fun out of stupid things, that's why I listen to it in the morning. During the most suicidal part of my day I just want to laugh.

If people don't like it then they should change the fuggin channel. Beside Jodi Hughes's voice is soooo sexy!

I'm pretty sure Muslims are just perpetuating racism by bringing so much attention to such a sublime matter.

[three.eighteen.]

heh, they apologized for a race joke last summer too...they just have to do it formally and all the crap for the sake of being politically correct

[ninspeed]

i thought it was funny.... fuck people need to learn what a joke is....
