Because lots of people, despite professing to hate PC, indulge in it when it suits.

Hit the nail on the head... methinks

Well, I thought it was funny. Not even particularly tasteless, and certainly not in the least offensive.

Keep on with the jokes!

Question, why is it ok to make sexist and rascist jokes on this site. But not ok to make jokes about the differently abled people and paedophile victims.
I am asking to be educated, not to be ripped to shreds.

i agree
 

If that was directed at me then I am offended.  Anyone who knows me knows that I detest the way PC culture is ruining life, fun, common sense etc.  At work I have to 'be' a certain way and abide by certain rules, part of being an Officer is acting.  At home and on here I am completely different, normal so to speak.

To say I put my PC hat on when it suits is frankly an insult.  I like good banter even at my own expense and my humour can be described as dark.  Taking the p!ss out of the opposite sex male or female is a two way thing and has been going on here and elsewhere for a while, is that sexism......?  I havent heard of any arguements from our female members      And the English, Irish, Scotsmen jokes is that what you are refering to as racist jokes?  If so then it is not me that is being too PC.

Taking the p!ss out of someone who over comes tremendous disability to compete in events doing faster times than many able bodied people can just aint funny.  In my mind they are the true heros of sport esp when you put them alongside footballers who get paid a lot more for their acting than I do  ;D ;D

I'd have to disagree here. Why is it not funny? Are you saying that less able people can't be funny or we just can't laugh at them? I'm of the South Park school of comedy, you can either laugh at everyone or laugh at no one. Surely by saying you can't take the pi$$ you've singled them out? Don't get me wrong the joke wasn't the best tho!
