I'm not sure about this one
Humour is always derived from dark situations, but I would like to se how he actually made the mocking of a disability funny.
It really depends on the actual material, but I don't see it as unreasonable to be offended by comedy which appears to target the disabled.
How exactly is that different to Bernard Manning? Some curious PC flip-flopping here if you ask me.
