Yeah tweet and Facebook yourself. Out of a job, out of a marriage, in jail.
Put your name and face for all to see then watch what happens.

Sorry thats funny.. and not because its racist.
To: rightwingintelligentsia
Since few will read the article, he said his joke had no racist meaning, but since people were interpreting it that way, he would take it down. But that wasnt enough for the BBC which threw him under the bus and fired him.

I thought it was a reference to Prince Charles and his big ears. The baby must resemble his grandfather.

This is right up there with the story of the New York City sports radio guy some years ago who said Serena Williams had a better chance of posing nude for National Geographic than for Playboy.
LMAO.

Good, because it wasnt racist.

Should take anger management treatments, and become employed at WalMart UK, if treatments work.

Those who see racism in this certainly deserve that label.

My Uncle Pat, ever the diplomatic sage, told my parents when I was born that I was all arms, legs and peter!
I’ve since added a rotund belly to the mix . . .

Understand, please, that for years, people have used that monkey thing as a slur. If he had photoshopped a little toddler wearing royal type clothing, that would have been funny. Monkey? No. It’s like the old saw about fruits and nuts in California. I put that on facebook and my California friend reacted adversely saying didn’t I know fruit was a slur on gay people. Which I had no clue about. But now that I do know, I surely will not make that mistake again.

That is even worse. The anger might could have been managed.

All the chimpanzees I’ve seen on the internet have big ears.

The outrage is over the supposed racial aspect. That is the unforgiveable sin. Threatening them with harm would produce much less outrage.
