    Extremely disgusting. I already found most of these people uncool and unfunny but I thought Bill Burr was at least alright (still didn’t think he was funny, but he at least seemed to have sane political views - guess not). The only way any of them can make this a respectable choice is if they’re doing it Trojan Horse style, and they’re planning to tell a bunch of jokes shitting on Saudi Arabia and calling them out for their infinity of evil acts. Not getting my hopes up for that, though.

    The Guardian remains respectable and has not pulled punches in this article at least.

      It’s already happened. I don’t think there were any Trojan Horse-style jokes unfortunately

        Oh derp, I saw “October 9th” and glossed over the rest. Yeah no surprise. Telling a joke like that in that environment might get you killed. Not that they see any problem with that I guess.
