some guy Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Anybody else getting sick to death of this witch hunt the Mail (or should I say, Fail) have started over Whitehall's appearance on the Big Fat Quiz of the Year? They must have produced about 6 or 7 articles in the last 4 days about it. I feel sorry for the guy. I watched the quiz and honestly couldn't see anything that he or any of the other contestants said that was offensive. Granted, a few things were close to the bone, but the Mail just seems to be targeting Whitehall. Today they've lashed out against his personal life, with remarks to his 'privileged' upbringing. The guy was privately educated and also auditioned for Harry Potter. So bloody what? I don't see what it has to do with his appearance on Big Fat Quiz... Fortunately, the general consensus amongst most papers and other people is that Whitehall isn't in the wrong and the Mail is just trying to make something out of nothing. Here's hoping it will all blow over, because he is a funny bloke. Love him in Fresh Meat. By the way, I'm not the sort to write complaints, but is there anywhere I can make a formal complaint about the Daily Mail? There is no clear link on their site.

Happ Hazzard Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I don't think he's funny in the slightest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkey104 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Just watched the programme on tv last night. I didn't think it was that funny and what they said wasn't all that offensive when put in to context. I don't think he will be all that bothered anyway, look at the scandal over jimmy carrs tax scandal. It doesn't seem to have done him any harm.

davyboy Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I watched it for 15 minutes before switching off. It wasn't the slightest bit amusing. It was literally c...p AND they got paid for it:rant: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Tamudo Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I don't think he's funny in the slightest. Do you think anyone is funny in the slightest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minimo Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Some might ask 'anyone else getting sick to death of the witch hunt against the Daily Mail?' It's all a question of personal taste in the end. I don't happen to like the kind of 'comedy' that seems to prevail these days, so I never watch their kind of show. Oh for the days of the likes of the two Ronnies, Morecambe and Wise etc. They knew how to entertain without resorting to filthy language and insulting jokes against sometimes vulnerable people.
