    So, she repeats the 'offensive' joke.
    Frankie says this stuff as part of his stand up, his audience and viewers no what to expect.
    Anyone repeating it on an unsuspecting wider audience has a lot more to answer for.
    I'm not saying I find it funny, but he is certainly funnier than Kay Burley.

    He's not a funny bloke, just nasty, my opinion, don't argue.

    Of course Saint Kay of Sky has never offended anybody
    during any of her broadcasts on TV. Kettle and pot me thinks

    Used to like him but he seems to have just decided to be as offensive as possible now. I once received an e-mail from his website which started 'Yo N*ggers'.

    Nice.

    Isn't she the one who made Peter Andre cry?

    All just irony, of course.

    I like him on Mock the Week, but Tramadol Nights isn't that funny. I also caught him doing stand up on possibly Comedy Central (not sure, I was flicking channels and stopped because it was him) and that wasn't particularly funny either (probably because I'd heard all the jokes before on Mock the Week).

    He's bloody hilarious - happy to hit any target, including himself.

    I find Kay Burley extremely offensive and she shouldn't be allowed on TV ever!

    Personally, I prefer comedians like Emo Phillips, Demetri Martin, Stephen Wright et al. I laugh at most of their jokes. But if they fail to make me laugh, I don't write to the Daily Mail.

    The comments beneath KB's blog are fascinating. There are a number of people wishing cancer on FB or his fans to "see how funny they find him then". So you have FB who tells a joke who's intention ultimately is to make his audience laugh; and people outside his audience wishing cancer on him. And they think themselves superior to him.

    A joke is just that; a joke. Nobody gets to decide whether or not it is, in fact funny but the listener alone. I decide whether something is funny to me, not anyone else and certainly not KB.

    Kay who's got violent tendencies shouldn't be really be giving her opinion on whats offensive although her skynews interviews have been described as that a few times.

    I don't like news readers / news show hosts having blog sites, leave that to the politicos or money correspondents !

    Yes. I love a bit of ironic racism me.

    I wish Kay would stop watching Fox News for interview tips. Silly cow.

    I have to agree with the comment above. Ok it may well be offensive to some but WHY REPEAT IT???? In full????

    As the point as been made if she doesn't like that style of comedy she doesn't have to listen to it.

    I know what you mean, its like the lady who had a child with Downs Syndrome and went to the gig - she said she was a fan so "knew what to expect".. I can understand why it upset her but then she repeats the joke as well.

    Don't worry, the entire eastern seaboard of Frankie Boyle's career has gone down.

    Kay smells a band wagon.

    For an employee of Murdoch to be lecturing anyone on good taste is irony in the extreme.

    Yep, a lot of us may find Boyle terribly unfunny but thats for the public to decide not mouth-all-mighties like Burley---well done on repeating the tasteless joke as well--daft cow.

    See this is where things aren't so black and white for me.

    A media scrum trying to get photos of Naomi Campbell--as far as I am concerned they all have free reign to kick cobs out of each other.A few arbitrary killings would be okay as well.

    At the end of it all surely the world would be a slightly better place.

    Kay Burlotomy has picked a fight she thinks she actually can win..!
    search for her on DS, she's to journalism what George Dubya was to diplomacy.
