If it doesn't work where you are:

The Evo forum really is a shadow of its former self. I remember when the internet was for the elite and now they seem to let any spastic on

Didn't Tim Cook look uncomfortable when Ricky turned his attention to Apple TV? Would've loved to have seen his reaction to the sweatshop comment 15 seconds later.

Well at least it’s stopped him being terfy and making fun of disabled people for 5 minutes.

Ooft! :D He can be uncomfortable to watch sometimes but he made some pretty decent points there.

Presumably because he's been fairly strong on Twitter about the rights of women working in women-only beauty salons to not have to wax the hairy balls of pre-op trans women if they don't want to

Wow, is weighing in on anything trans related called terfy then? I worry at 44 I am getting more and more removed from the progression of our language.

You don't have millions of followers on social media who'll parrot your viewpoint as gospel, though.

Only if you’re a radical feminist. I think.
How about not having a sig at all?

Can't see why it would be a surprise, all his TV shows have been massive hits going back 20 years

I don't really pay much attention to his shows and stuff because I don't think he's very funny.

I don't think Jimmy Carr is at all funny and avoid his stuff like the plague but I know millions of people do find him so!

I had to google terfy as well - "Resembling or characteristic of radical feminism which does not consider trans women to be women, or those who hold such views".
Cheers,

I'm at a loss as well. It's either that or his Bruce Jenner gag.

I think the issue is that he walks a very fine line with these sorts of things, and in a world where people look to find offence anywhere they can find it, some of his gags will be considered as being over the line.
