Frankie Boyle suing The Mirror

[abc]

... For calling him racist.

Now I'm no fan of the media or tabloids but I also can't stand the hypocrisy of some people who are happy to have a go, offend etc just about anybody but can't take it when it's thrown back at them. Boyle (who can also be very funny it's true) has often gone way beyond what is decent (eg making fun of Rebecca Adlington's appearance) but has a hissy when someone has a go at him.

Hope the Mirror sue his arse off and more!

Why is making fun of Rebecca adlington 'too far'? It was one of the most tame things he has ever said

If making fun of anyone's disabilities is tame by his standards then I rest my case!

How did he make fun of her disabilities?

Boyle is extremely funny in my opinion. Just because he says things that are a bit "extreme" at times doesn't mean he is a racist, or the Mirror have the right to call him one.

Frankie Boyle is a twat. I lost any respect when he made that cheap joke about Jamie Oliver. f***ing child.

And bloody funny too don't forget.

One of his best jokes is about Jamie Oliver at the start of his last DVD. Absolute genius. Won't repeat on here as there are some sensitive souls about

He probably thinks that a mildly libellous comment in a tabloid newspaper = a big pay day.

He didn't make fun of her disabilities, and I think he's funny anyway.

What The Mirror, and most other people have forgotten, is that Boyle is a performer, his whole offensive prick thing is an act. That's it. He's telling jokes. Crude, extreme, nasty jokes but they're jokes. It doesn't make the man himself a racist, a bigot, a homophobe etc etc.

I'm off to see him next month and can't wait!!! Yes, he can be very offensive but if you don't like him don't watch anything he's in... simples

Totally agree. Live by the sword, die by the sword. But it would appear that Boyle can't live by his own mantra.

Rebecca Adlington isn't disabled!

Couldn't someone equally argue that if he doesn't like what The Mirror prints, he shouldn't read it?

I'm just checking here, you mean Milli Vanilli?
