Anyone catch this? My ancient crappy Sky+ box spazzed out on me so I missed most of it. I like Rufus Hound.
My Funniest Year 2000
Sent a guy I work with berzerk when he took the piss out of Diana.

Yeah I heard a whisper about that. What did he say? Rufus, not your mate.

He played some reconstruction footage of the Parisian car crash overdubbed with Michael Jackson's Dirty Diana. Tasteless double whammy!
There were quite a few tasteless jokes in there.
The one about Jade Goody (I can't remember what it was but it was just him being bizarrely horrible about her) and something about Michael Douglas that was mean too, when he's just been diagnosed with cancer.
They even almost offended me! And it takes a bloody lot to do that.
The Diana one didn't offend me at all though.
The two that did just seemed unecessarily cruel, somehow. Sort of misjudged.

Why would it?

Why?
Everyone sometimes gets offended by weird things, that they have no real connection to.
Why were so many people offended by the cat in the bin? it wasn't their cat. Why did the Jade Goody joke make me feel uncomfortable? I don't know her.

I dunno, the Diana thing is a slightly different kettle of fish for me; many people are genuinly mental in their faces about her.
Oh yes, definitely!
I remember Pete and Geoff from the Virgin Breakfast show always used to refer to her as
"Dear Dead Diana."
Just watched this online http://www.seesaw.com/TV/Comedy/b-31494-My-Funniest-Year-2000
Strangely there was no Diana joke. Hmmmm. Wonder if it's been cut because of complaints?
I thought the show was funny but not exactly for prudes - Rufus was commenting on John Leslie when he ran onto that awards stage to chivalrously cover Judy Finnegan's boobs that had fallen out of her dress. He said "That's the first time John Leslie has ever rushed towards a pair of tits to cover them in anything other than his own spunk".

Bit like you and Doctor Who then.

A problem with no known cure.

That was very funny.
I only caught bits of this but it seemed all right. Not laugh a minute, but some funny bits. Although I appear to have missed all the controversial bits.
