Press Release From Charity

Press Release,

Frankie Boyle's joke about  young Harvey Price, was just absolutely wrong and out of order. This type of humour sets a bad example to the public because of the effect it can have on Harvey and other disabled children or adults. It can encourage bullying and abuse and a lot of negativity in  a community which has an effect on us as a charity.  The fact that Channel 4 hired someone  that was  so rude about a disabled child shows a lot about their channel and the comedy it shows.  Jordan's views on the joke was that she wanted him to meet Harvey and see how much he would feel wrong off actually making that joke about her son, also said how she believes in Karma and it will hit him or anyone who makes a joke about any disabled person or something bad about someone. 

The OFCOM Ruling says ‘the material in question had a considerable potential to cause significant offence'  for the fact that this joke was defended is not right, because Harvey couldn't defend him self, even though he is in the public eye. We found this joke very offensive because it effects the disabled population because they can not defend there selfs and expressive there views on the joke made. The fact that he had to make a joke about a disabled person that is a child shows the lack off compassion. He also did not just make a joke once but more than twice shows that its not a bit of humor but outright bullying and going over the line. Also using jordan's child to attack her and tarnish her reputation, and unfair and wrong also Damages the acceptance of the disabled people.  Channel 4 should not broadcast such things that effect people in a negative way. 

OFFCOM  made a point and realsed the views because they got over 500 complaints .

This is what offcom said; 

 It has come to our attention that we've received an complaint from katie price , mother to harvey price in regards to  one of  Frankie's jokes referring to Harvey's son and his disability. On Frankie's behalf we apologies for any offence caused but he is entitled to say what he wishes to say as he is entitled as any other person to freedom of speech.

Frankie Boyle is notable and memorable for his crude , dark style of humor taking situations and story's from real life,parodying them in his jokes and is always testing his boundaries to experiment with his style for performing to the best he can in his stand up shows creatively.

If she did not want Harvey to be targeted.  Katie Price should have took more care of her children and not broadcast them so openinglyin the sitcoms she has taken part in documenting her life at certain times or months.
