I am not easily offended by off-color humor. I thought Sarah Silverman's irreverent Jesus Is Magic comedy special was hilarious. And the acerbic Bill Hicks was absolute genius. You can make fun of women, find humor in any nationality or ethnicity (to a point), you can poke fun of religions, you can mimic a surly teenager.. But you do NOT make a joke about Eric Clapton's little boy who died in a tragic accident! That is not funny. That is cruel. You can put any kind of spin on it, dress it up and put on the label of your choice.. but the only thing that "joke" was, was cruel! This so-called comic used just about the most heartbreaking thing he could think of as an opportunistic vehicle to establish himself as the crudest comedian on the circuit. Well congratulations Tony, you win the blue ribbon!
