Think there will be more complaints?


http://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/news/2007/04/16/42815.shtml

Just come across that complaint above, and after watching yesterdays show with the americans and the veil sketch I got thinking thats gonna get a load of complaints, if it does people should have a more open sense of humour I think I personally thought that sketch was hilarious.

I’ll be amused to see if the veil sketch has any criticism as the ‘burqa’ is simply a defiant Muslim response to intimidate Western culture. It bares no religious nor for that matter, logical purpose. So any complaints can only be forwarded by such people and politically correct do-gooders! I think ‘Ruddy Hell’ is a fine comedy-satire (so far) and the core criticism seems to come from reviewers without any understanding of the UK today!

Enfield and Whitehouse’s general comedic take on British society has moved with the times and (with his ten year gap) I feel the current criticism pens from those who don’t recognize our pitiable social decline.

I think those who are ‘offended’ or ‘dismayed’ should really ask themselves, why?

I agree with you there.

Too true. Reminds me of that school teacher whom was outraged at being sacked for refusing requests to leave the Burqa at home. If it was for religious reasons then I could just about understand it, but it's not. British people aren't used to it, we don't like it, and it creates yet another bone of contention between muslims and British nationals. I'd like to walk around naked, but I can't and I don't complain about it because that's how this country works.

Anyway, it's nice to see the subject get a bit of light comedy relief!

I think the complaints should mostly centre around the fact that it's on of the worst comedies in the last 10 years

Agreed - the lack of laughs offends me greatly.
