Almost everyone in media and entertainment is scared of the wokies. Bend for them before they come for you
seems to be the tactic. The guy who did Bo Selecta apologised for some of his funniest material. |

Funniest joke voted for at Edinburgh Fringe "I started dating a zookeeper - but it turned out he was a cheetah." Runners up
The most British thing I've ever heard? A lady who said, "Well I'm sorry, but I don't apologise". Last year I had a great joke about inflation. But it's hardly worth it now. When women gossip we get called bitchy; but when men do it's called a podcast. I thought I'd start off with a joke about The Titanic - just to break the ice. How do coeliac Germans greet each other? Gluten tag. My friend got locked in a coffee place overnight. Now he only ever goes into Starbucks, not the rivals. He's Costa-phobic. I entered the "How not to surrender" competition and I won hands down. Nationwide must have looked pretty silly when they opened their first branch. My grandma describes herself as being in her "twilight years" which I love because they're great films. As Tommo would say "ho ho ho" |

I was doing that cheetah pun when I was 9 years old. It was “ Why dont Zulus play cards with wild cats ? ….because they are cheetahs “.
Several of the runners up are far more original though none really funny. The joke doesn't even make sense. How could a zookeeper ever be a wild cat ? This is what happens to entertainment when you are stopped telling jokes about minorities, fat people , mother in laws , religions, etc etc. Here's my my pathetic entry, still better than the winner though IMHO Why don't hunters trust grizzlies ? Because they are bear-faced liars. |

The song itself is a promotion of fat bottomed girls - can't see how that could be offensive at all, surely what they want!

I have been told, when discussing this 'wokeness' Nonsense, over a pint in the Pub - with proper Blokes-
That - 'Two Fat Ladies 88' - has been replaced in the Bingo Halls, and elsewhere by ... 'Two Large Persons' WTF. |

The twitter machine has suggested that maybe the problem with Fat Bottomed Girls is not the title but this verse:-
I was just a skinny lad Never knew no good from bad But I knew love before I left my nursery Left alone with big fat Fanny She was such a naughty nanny Hey big woman, you made a bad boy out of me |

Put a couple of harmless jokes we all know in the Cricket Club Quiz (we do one through the winter months to keep the funds flowing). Never seen two or three of the women who used to attend, since.
Normal service continues. |

saddo -- I deplore gangsta rap but the point about that particular Queen verse is that it seems to imply a relationship between an older woman in a position of trust and a younger boy. Time was when your school chum shagging the French teacher made him a legend but these days she would be struck off the teachers register and placed on a quite different register as well as being sent to prison for several years.
Now, whether that is why Fat Bottomed Girls has been delisted, I don't know; maybe it was misogyny or even simply fat-shaming. |
