Topic: Canadian Comedian Fined $35,000 For Offensive Joke
Anonymous A started this discussion 10 years ago #58,195
> Quebec’s Human Rights Tribunal ordered a comedian to pay $35,000 to a teen singer he made fun of as part of his stand-up routine, ruling Wednesday that the teen’s “right to equality” was violated by the comedy act.> Comedian Mike Ward regularly incorporated a joke about singer Jeremy Gabriel, who is facially disfigured due to Treacher Collins Syndrome.
> As part of his joke, Ward would say that he “went on the internet to figure out what was wrong with him, and you know what it was? He’s ugly, goddamnit.”
> “I didn’t know there was a Human Rights Tribunal until I got sued,” he said after the ruling. “One day the caller ID read: Human Rights Tribunal. When I answered the woman said, ‘Mr. Ward, we’re calling you about one of your jokes. We think you know the one.'”

@OPHas there been confirmation on whether or not the entire joke is funny?

So not only is Jeremy Gabriel one ugly ass son of a bitch, apparently he's also a buttmad pussy faggot. Hell, Justin Bieber is more respectable than this guy Jeremy Gabriel.
