Hateful, Shameless Liars

The Jonathan Ross circus just goes on and on and on.

Now we have this article at the Daily Mail about Ross' latest "sackable" offense:

The family of an 86-year-old Alzheimer's sufferer condemned Jonathan Ross yesterday after he cracked a joke about having sex with her.

Here is the content of this "tasteless" joke:

Ross, who earns £6million a year, and his producer Andy Davies were discussing how they had spent their time during the suspension.

Mr Davies, 43, said he had done some bricklaying in the garden of his villa in Spain but kept getting grabbed by a frisky 80-year-old woman.

He said: 'There's a woman in the village who's getting on a bit, keeps trying to kiss me. Older woman, very older woman. She keeps grabbing me.

'Every time I see her now I have to run indoors. She's apparently got a thing for younger men. She must be about 80, I reckon.'

Ross declared: 'Eighty, oh God! I think you should, just for charity. Give her one last night, will you? One last night before the grave. Would it kill you?'

Now, how tame is that? You will find many much cruder jokes in a Carry On film. This is a joke about a "frisky old woman" that follows on logically from the conversation they were having; it is NOT "tasteless" or anything of the kind.

But that doesn't stop the bribed buffoons from coming out of the woodwork. Here, for example, is the old woman's son: "It is offensive. My mother's mental health should not be a subject for comedy..." It WASN'T, you bloody tool! Her dementia was never mentioned. It was not even known to anyone until the News of the World purposely went to Spain after the event and found out. And as was the case during the "Sachsgate" affair, the BBC received no complaints following the broadcast (although it did get some, I hear, after the incident gained media attention).

The coverage of the Ross affair by the media, and by the Daily Mail in particular, has been an absolute disgrace. They are literally going out of their way to lie and break every journalistic principle in order to pursue a hateful agenda against one harmless man. It is absolutely disgusting, and all involved (except Ross himself) should be utterly ashamed of themselves.
