i LOVE stewart lee. genius.

Maybe you're terrified. I'm really not that concerned and the clip you posted is actually satirising that very attitude.

I accidentally posted the wrong Dara O'Briain clip, but please watch the edited one (it's very funny and relevant).

Here's Stewart Lee on the same topic

Excellent talk indeed. Stewart Lee called Twitter 'a Stasi for the Angry Birds generation.'

Stewart Lee:

"It seems unfair, doesn't it, given that America is the largest consumer of oil per head in the world and they seemed annoyed with the bloke from BP for merely trying to provide them with the oil that they craved. Americans, picking on the bloke from BP. It's ridiculous. It's like a furious customer punching a prostitute in the face because he's sickened by his own desire"

Exactly - political correctness has little, if anything to do with it (and I don't think @radx actually meant otherwise in his/her title). It's a joke, it's funny because it's well scripted and well acted and that's timeless.

It seems there are many people saying political correctness has gone too far (and IMHO sometimes it does) while others say modern society is too liberal and decency has gone out the window (and IMHO sometimes it has). On the whole, we are now allowed, to a point, to express ourselves but are no longer allowed to call people of a different race insulting names, for example.

It's not perfect, but I think we're in a much better place now than, say, 60 years ago when women weren't allowed to wear short skirts but you could bar black people from entering your business.

When I hear the phrase "it's political correctness gone mad", I hear "now when I'm a bigoted asshole, someone will call me out on it".

Stewart Lee sums my feelings up pretty well (edit: damn, the video's dead).

I wasn't tricked - I didn't watch it. I saw the title, clicked on the link, then in an opportunity to draw attention to myself, wrote a comment. I'm not watching 15 more minutes of these even bigger attention whores bang on.

Now, Alan Moore and Stewart Lee? Well, I could listen to those nice chaps all day.

This.

Stewart Lee helped.

He's not a real hamster.

Stewart Lee said it best, I think. To paraphrase: "No, I haven't read the latest Harry Potter book, because I'm a 46 year old man. I have, however, read the complete works of the poet and visionary William Blake, so fuck off!"

This is brilliant, stewart lee is a legend, and if you don't find him funny then it really is your fault.
