During the week that comedian Jimmy Carr is taking a lot of flak, excuse the expression, for telling a joke about injured British servicemen contributing to a really strong British Paralympic team in 2012 all the attention has been taken away from another joke that has landed Frankie Boyle in a bit of bother.
He commented that Olympic Champion swimmer, Rebecca Adlington, looked like someone looking at themselves in the back of a spoon. A little gem that almost made Wunder Rat sore from laughing. Poor Rebecca didn’t see the funny side of it though and complained. And just when everyone had forgotten about it, complained again that the BBC’s punishment for Boyle wasn’t harsh enough.
Oh the irony. How many more hundreds of thousands of people only became aware of his witty remark after reading about her complaining and then complaining some more. You should have just let it go Rebecca, now every time I see a spoon I’ll think of your face and I’m sure I’m not alone.
