Topic: Canadian Comedian Fined $35,000 For Offensive Joke

Anonymous A started this discussion 9 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.'”

Has 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.

Being ugly is now a disease or facial disfigurement.
