Because all he was doing was voicing his dissent as purely his personal opinion.The debate will continue coz there's no absolute right or wrong, it's only what's right and wrong for us within our context. I personally did enjoy the AIB roast, not because of the swear words, but because of the 'pun' in some of their quips.Having said that, I don't find anything laughable when I see comedy shows about people getting hurt and as you said, kids falling off the swings etc. Well, I guess, each man to himself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579671752707276248.post-15118779408947017482015-02-27T06:10:43.363-08:002015-02-27T06:10:43.363-08:00Vulgarity is never answer to freedom of expression...Vulgarity is never answer to freedom of expression BK Chowla,https://www.blogger.com/profile/03869011550287421537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579671752707276248.post-25877311328926093342015-02-25T12:56:53.245-08:002015-02-25T12:56:53.245-08:00I am scared to write any comment on this post.

When I watch some of Russell Peter's shows, I really laughed hard. While some of my cousins scorn that he has no right to make fun of his own folks. And the humor factor you said changes with age, I totally agree with that. The kind of pranks that makes the teens laugh just gets on to my nerves.

I don't find fat jokes and mockery made on someone's complexion funny either. Well, I was warned !

At the same time, I believe the videos should not have been put on public domain. Some of the jokes were very good some were downright filthy. Specially, the last section of Arjun Kapoor and Ranveer Singh. They were using exact colloqual cuss words you mentioned. It was not my cup of tea. i think people should decide if they want to watch such a show or not. At the same time, I think people who get offended by sexist attitude so easily, what are they going to say about such jokes?Abhijit Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08053181712880530470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579671752707276248.post-13739908263551783662015-02-21T23:43:21.722-08:002015-02-21T23:43:21.722-08:00If you ask me, honestly reading more and more abou...If you ask me, honestly reading more and more about the issue and the views of different people has only helped me get confused about what my own view is. I am not for cuss words. So I am against the roast. But there were only adults who knew what a roast was and were sitting there with their own will. That's fine with me. The freely available video on the net was wrong for me because I saw young boys watching it a Metro, passing lewd remarks and young girls around them feeling awkward. I guess it's high time people keep their views to themselves instead of preaching on social media for likes, shares and comments.
