    lol no? It was funny as hell, Harry Connick wanker can take his American politically correct arse back to the land of the shithole.

    Seriously, it is called comedy for a reason...****ing wankers.

    And for the record, I voted no.

    If anything is racist, its his response saying its offensive for white people to paint their faces black. You heard it here first folks, only blacks may impersonate black people for comedy...... (the old theory rings true, only white people can be racist)

    Jeez, some people get carried away with this crap. People have become so soft that they are carrying the racist card around with them, ready to wave it at anybody who dares to have a laugh.

    Connick can fark off, especially after that Tropical Thunder garbage. Who does he think he is kidding with his faux outrage?

    I think comedy is one medium of communication where anything goes. There are skits abour wars, hilter, gays, jews, midgets, housewives, etc. Now all of a sudden a skit about black people is off limits? wtf?

    So people should change their act they've been doing for 20years just because someone has died? What a load of crap. Its not like they were disrespecting him.

    Far too much political correctness in the world these days, thats the best thing about Hey Hey; its got little to no political correctness to it, simply - humour.

    STEALTHY, I thought the Chaserrs skit was pushing it but I still had a laugh and I wan't offended.

    And those people who say the skit on Hey Hey was in bad taste because he had just passed away... you do realise the amount of jokes going around within a week of Steve Irwin passing?

    In comedy, nothing is sacred and that judges bullshit rant about how hard america has worked to make black people not look like bafoons? What kind of comment is that? What america has done is not made balcks look less like bafoons but rather stop being to ignorant to cultural diversity.

    Connick is just a tool and trying to make himself look all high and mighty.
