Comedians not so funny.

April 29th 09

Comedians.

There are many characters who call themselves comedians.

But how funny are they if they were to rule out not picking on certain groups in society?

Film comedy such as Harold Lloyd and Laurel and Hardy, are slap stick and pathetically funny, harmless but can sometimes get violent and unsafe, are allowing the audience to laugh at them. But when stand up comedy are pin pointing on certain members in society, should have certain criteria.

People who I don't idolise are Barnard Manning, as he is just a direct racist and tries to get away with it by performing it on stage and say its comedy. Benny Hill a sexist and a racist and

In theory comedy should be funny and help people to laugh but as some of the time they are stereotyping groups of people such where they come from, ethnicity, age,

Other comedian including Russ Abbott who laughs at him self invites people to laugh with him rather than at him or others. helps to make people to feel happy.

Comedian Jim Davidson is to be mentored by a range of diverse celebrities, including "gay icons", black comedians and "fierce" women, for a new show in which he will attempt to confront the public negative perception of him. He had been kicked out of Hell's Kitchen in 2007 for being homophobic. I Can also remember watching him on television when he had his own show and only until now realised how racist he actually was and probably still is.

Comedians like him, I would never go and see even if it was free. Do I think he is funny, you got to be joking.

Comment on Natalie Damley blog.

Internet.

Commenting on Natalie's view on not liking the Internet because it inspires people to become lazy, has no privacy and a bad influence. She also states that she only uses the Internet for information to do with her work.

I agree to some point that the Internet is a bad influence, but overall I find it very useful to educate everyone. I also think it is one bad if you let the Internet take over a person.

I only use to use the Internet for my assignments. Now I find that if I feel safe I will buy items from the sites that I know would be safe from viruses and intervention from hacking into my personal information. It is also very useful to look up any signs and symptoms people may have, its beneficial to find out things about health, history and keeping in touch with the latest news around the world.

Statistics shows there are over 233 countries using the Internet everyday, with over 1,596,271,000 visitors daily which accounts for 23% of the population. The Internet whether we like it or not it is a part of modern day life.

Using the Internet can be detrimental, if using illegal web site, to downloads illegal porn, music, movies. But it can be very healthy for information on health and spotting illnesses from an early stage.

Comments of Rachel Evans

Commenting on Rachel's blog about Lies:

Rachel's blog initiates that it is necessary to lie to children and that parents who say they don't lie to their children are lying. But are they just stalling them from answering them honestly.

I agree, I am a parent and do often avoid answering my children.

Making promises and not carying them out to children. I would not say it is a lie. However, in the children's eyes if you make a promise to them and not carry it out, then in their eyes you are not being honest with them and as far as they are concerned you are a l iar.

My children say I'm a lair many time for not carrying out promises I made to them, whether if I said I would get them something or I forgot to take them somewhere, but that it in the eyes of a child.

In the eyes of an adult, I am not a liar, I just havent got round to doing them yet. I don't think it is unhealthy, imprudent, immoral or detrimental as long as it is innocent and cannot hurt anyone.

Sometimes it is not always relevant or necessary to tell the truth.

Bandits - Bonnie and Clyde:

Outlaws:











An outlaw or bandit is a person living the lifestyle outside the rules and regulations of the law.


When we think about outlaws and Bandits. the most common outlaws in recent years for me would be Bonnie and Clyde.





In some aspects, modern day times seems to glorify them, not initially for the crimes they commit, but for the love and the commitment they seem to have had for each other.

Sticking together through thick and thin, never incriminating any of each other, regardless of what trouble they came across, according to the stores and information given by the media, they always stayed together and to the end of it all, their life was also ended by a hail of bullets.

The story tell us how they met. Initiallty they never set out to become outlaws.


According to the film, ironically they met when Clyde was caught breaking into Bonnie's car. As Bonnie lived a very restricted life by having strict parents, became fascinated by the fact that she met a robber.



Clyde proved he was a robber by stealing from a store and running off in a stolen car bringing her with him. That was the start of them being on the run for the rest of their life, robbing, stealing and killing who got in their way.



The lifestyle of Bonnie and Clyde has no means of being healthy, it is very imprudent, downright immoral and very detrimental for anyone who gets in they way.

Week 11

Drugs:

There are different types of drugs used to help the functions of the body to work normally.

Narcotics to relieve pain, which can be found in heroin and codeine used by medical professionals to help ease pain. Hypnotics which include tranquilisers to helps the body to sleep.
Stimulants, this increases mental and physical energy. Inebriantes can be found in alcohol, chloroform, solvents and other chemicals.

Many types of drugs can be used and may cause side effects, but all drugs are harmful if they are misused.

All of these drugs are legal and can be used effectively providing they are used in the correct manor, in contrast, they can become addicted due to the dependency and how frequent the body is use to the drugs.

Statistics shows that younger members of society have started to use prescription drugs more regular. In 2005, the figure had risen from 850,000 to 139,00 in the space of a year. This also showed that they were using these type of drugs were not much different to the illegal drug of marijuana where the statistic was 1,219,000.

Even though these types of drugs are legal, the misuse of using them can be detrimental just as much as using illegal drugs. Overall the misuse of drugs can be dangerous and unhealthy for the body.

Comment on Robers Steers blog on





Smoking.





After browsing through the blogs in which I an finding it difficult to make an interesting comment, I came across this blog.





Roberts view on smoking seems to be that he disagrees with the whole actions of smoking. His blog highlights that smoking is suppossed to be a sign of attractiveness. The shape is suppose to promote the desires of sexuality.



But the blog highlights the fact as to why anyone would like to have bad breath and smelly clothes.



Not forgetting the mess it causes on the streets, stained teeth, air pollution, the lingering smell in the room where someones been smoking, the stale smell on clothes and anything else I may of forgotten.





However, I dont disagree with anyone who smokes. It would not put me off or would I be attracted to someone who did or did not smoke. I just preferred is someone who smoked did not do it around me as I hate the smell of smoke.






But I must say I always liked to Clint Eastwood with an unlit fag in his mouth.

comment on Cherelle Scott's blog

Commenting on Cherells view on abortion.

I think the debate about abortion will always be one where there are difference of opinion.

I don't think it is wrong, as there are many genuine reason why women have them.

It can be justified for the reason that there may be some serious birth defect, it is not fair on the child to be born into a world where they are restricted due to a severe disability which the experts offer their advice for an abortion.

I also think it can be justified when the pregnancy cam about through rape and molestation. Why should the mother have to suffer the torment of the result of an horrific order and to have to look after the child. Even thought the mother may love that child unconditionally, but it should be their choice.

What I do not agree with and think it is wrong is when women look at abortion as another type of contraception. In my option it is wrong selfish and careless. Different types of contraception are available to suit almost everyone.

Statistics shows that there were 185,000 abortions in England and Wales in 2004 age ranging from between 15 - 44. The highest rate for abortion were between 18 - 19 and 20 - 24.82% of abortions were funded by the N.H.S . where 19% were done due to medical conditions.

Overall, I think it is debatable to say that abortion is bad, imprudent but it can become unhealthily, also it is legal up to a certain amount of weeks.

Comment on David Fox Blog

Speeding:

I agree with what David says on speeding.

It is immoral, no doubt dangerous, unhealthy as it can cause death, and imprudent as I don't respect anyone who drives fast or think it is cool to do so.

Some of the comments David made was driving in build up ares especially at busy times.

Hence the reason for speed humps in areas in residential ares mainly where children tend to live.

I myself is a driver. I have a held a squeaky clean licence for 12 years, I have never been stopped for speeding or have been issued a speeding ticket. If I can do it I cant see why other cant.

I live a interesting life, there is one l=thing i Will never do and that is to speed. I would rather be lat than risk speeding and risk getting hurt or worse still kill someone.

I think the T.V add where the someone who has killed a child due to speeding, have visions of the child every where they go. It must have influenced someone not to speed.
