sobriqueSomething was on the radio as I was on my way home. It was a discussion of humour, and 'stereotypes'.
The source of the discussion was some council workers getting disciplined for 'tasteless' emails.
So thought I'd start the discussion. If we assume that it _is_ actually funny (and not just plain offensive) how far is 'too far'?
Jokes about race? (Englishman, Irishman, Scotsman?)
Jokes about religion? (there was this Rabbi and a Bishop who...)
Jokes about gender?
Jokes about sexuality?
Generally, I'm not offended by much. OK, some stuff gets a bit too far into 'crass', but ...
well, where, in your opinion, does the line lay?
