This has thrown up a lot of interesting little questions about comedy now, like 'Is comedy now just too much like a business, and less of an art?' To me it looks like it is, when that putrid little maggot Jimmy Carr gets his lawyers to issue a warning to another comedian to stop using his joke, I think it shows a lot of them up to be no more than self interested businessmen who just happen to be in the (very lucrative) business of comedy.
Jokes have always been shared or nicked, their so called creators should take it as a compliment rather than getting all corporate and stressy about it, it doesn't look good for their carefully cultivated laid back, ultra liberal, left leaning image, it makes them look like f***ing hypocrites in truth. Can Carr or Ed Byrne comfortably stand up on stage and fashionably attack bankers again without looking just a little bit cheeky? Modern comedy itself is a bit of a joke in my book. Morning.
