I hope that is not a typical show on Dutch TV ! It would be banned in Oz.

Re: Justified ?
Well.. not really.. In the beginning there was a lot of commotion around it, mainly in politicians thought it wasn't good for people to see the hosts using drugs (they used everything, from XTC to Coke and from LSD to Heroin) on the show etc, lots of explicit sex, but nowadays everyone got used to it

Re: Justified ?
On another note, I find the frivolous little jokes regarding the victim quite appauling really. I cannot see, on any level what is funny about having acid poured down your throat, being stabbed, blinded and having 90% of your body burned and scarred for life...I love a good laugh but found nothing funny about unimaginal suffering that person has and is going through.
The people who did this are the ones who need the piss taking out of them (literally hopefully with a sharp implement)

I like the idea...kick out the parents, siblings and community religious leaders of the bombers for not spotting and stopping the attacks.

Yeah some of the comments today were a bit overboard.

Re: Justified ?
yes, it's horrible what has happenend, we all agree and then life goes on for all of us. Not making jokes has never helped anyone, it's not like his mother is posting on here or anything...Jade Goody is ok to slag off I suppose but this is going too far...the rules confuse me.

Re: Justified ?
it just annoys me when you go one way one day, and another way the next...you're often the first one to do your
when someone makes a 'daring' remark, so not sure why now all of a sudden we were 'out of order'...

Re: Justified ?
I suppose it depends on the context. This guy was attacked and maimed for life, I don't think it is a laughing matter but can see how the jokes were going. No doubt now you will say I had a few laughs when Jade died, well you know what she had a terminal illness, she was going to die regardless. This guy had his whole life ahead of him.

If not, then why did we find the 'Germans, well you started the war' scene funny in Fawlty Towers, or why was 'Allo Allo' such a success etc etc, .....was that making fun of the millions who sacrificed their lives in world wars ??....er, no, I didnt think so..
Why then, within 15mins of Michael Jackson being confirmed as dead, do we get 20 text jokes from friends about him ?
Terrible things happen every day, and people make jokes about those events as a way of dealing with them....think you need to loosen up a little and get off the high morality horse, mate
