LyraSilvertongue Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 "Outrageous" comedian Frankie Boyle made a joke about Muse dying of Aids on Monday night's Never Mind the Buzzcocks. The Daily Mirror reported: He let rip about rocker Axl Rose having "type 4 career cancer" and made a jibe about the band Muse contracting Aids. He said: "Muse had their equipment wrecked by a hurricane, coincidentally minutes before the Hurricane Festival in Germany. We can only wish them all the best at next year's World Aids Day gig. They have filled more stadiums than Hurricane Katrina, but we'd all rather see them dead. " http://m.mirror.co.uk/article?a=m4:22826899&lc=11237225&ls=11237402&lo=la/ He's supposed to be a comedian and it isn't even funny
hugenkiss Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 I don't know who this comedian is, but where is the punchline? I get the joke about Axl Rose, even thought it was pretty lame. But I am missing the humor in wishing death on anyone.

yettiman Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 I've defended him in the past and the way people overreact to his stuff is annoying, but there is just no joke there. It's not funny.
forevermusic Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 I've defended him in the past and the way people overreact to his stuff is annoying, but there is just no joke there. It's not funny. Indeed. On his day he can be good but there's no joke there and it just isn't funny.
Frakkles Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 I remember when he was funny, before he got an ego.
leetroot Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Frankie Boyle was in the petrol station up the road from the Shepherd's bush venue just after the supermassive free gig there. I went 'galloping' in having heard Knights live for the first time and was full of it. He was a bit startled i don't take offence at anything he says as it's all done for the shock value . sometimes he's hilarious and other times not.
BeckyBliss Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 He always goes just too far. That joke was shocking. In my opinion he's a prick.
Tom//P Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 The question for Muse was: Why did they cancel a press interview in 2006? The answer was that Matt thought an Astroid was going to hit Earth. Never heard that myself.
futurophu Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 i still think he's funny.. AIDS jokes and recent big disasters is a bit far though..
LyraSilvertongue Posted January 5, 2011 Author Posted January 5, 2011 His career is all about shocking people and causing offence these days. He made some horrible joke about Downs Syndrome that upset a lot if people.
Hat Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 The question for Muse was: Why did they cancel a press interview in 2006? The answer was that Matt thought an Astroid was going to hit Earth. Never heard that myself. The things you can get away with when people think you're insane.
Ami34 Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 I have to admit, I do quite like Frankie Boyle as a comedian but recently it hasn't been going so well ,in terms of jokes, for him. (Katie Price thing)

s3ker Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Whishing someone's death isn't funny, wether it is muse or anyone else.
Uccellino Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Apparently, he said something really offensive about Katie Price's disabled child a week or two ago and since then the press have been picking up on everything controversial he's said. Not sure if they really don't like him or if they're doing him a favour with all the extra publicity. I didn't pay much attention to his jokes on Buzzcocks as they take the p*ss out of everyone on there, no matter how lame the joke is.
Origin Of Symmetry Ftw Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Frankie Boyle tries too hard to be controversial. Thats a horrible thing to say about anybody. Could not agree more it was controversial and funny when he did not try to be but know when he trys it just isn' funny
JoJo_x Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Aww Frankie, why are you doing this? You are brilliant, but why?
Florenceblue Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 The man's an unintelligent attention-seeking tosser...
Origin Of Symmetry Ftw Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 i did laugh when he said Nirvana made Guns and Roses look like Gay Pirates considering that Axl Rose hated Kurt Cobain but i still dont get the Muse thing

jackparker Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 I find him unacceptable. Point out. I wonder if he really knows how people with these diseases really feel. Think not.
Buxomflirter Queef Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 I think we need the episode as a proper reference point http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7crlstqoB8E&feature=player_embedded#!
