Bit shocking what happened the other night, what do you all think about it?
The ASDA of satire.
"Thoughtcrime was not a thing that could be concealed forever. You might dodge successfully for a while, even for years, but sooner or later they were bound to get you." Which is exactly what happened to Winston Smith. His rebellion was not one that was foolish and too outspoken. He silently tried to defeat the Party for his personal happiness, and in the end it cost him everything he had fought for, and his love for Julia. He had learned to love Big Brother, which was his ultimate fear when trying to live a life of individuality. The Party had defeated him.

Invited a female audience member on stage, and groped her. Good article in O bserver on this, may post it up later.

Yeah, if you're going to ask people's opinions, it's a good idea to at least make some mention of what the hell you're on about. Even better to post a link to an article or something.

Some people thought he went too far, but others think they are making a big deal out of nothing. Not been there it's difficult to say whether he crossed the line or not.

Exactly.
We can't really have a valid opinion.
But we can still talk about it! 
Otherwise we could hardly talk about anything at all, let's face it.
Before everything got out of hand, Political Correctness used to be called Spastic Gaytalk

I just read this.
Sounds pretty horrific, if true.
Maybe he was pissed.
Also, there are rumours she was a plant...?
Who knows.

Cripes. Yeah. Not quite sure what to say to that. Anyone have any links to articles which aren't so emotionally involved and, ultimately, biased?

I don't think we ever say much, do we?

I dunno maybe she was a "plant" like a highly evolved Sun flower.

I think...actually I don't know what to think.
Speechless.
Actually I will say this; if I was in the audience and thought there was something improper going on I wouldn't just sit there, I'd have to do something. If the story is true, it's fucking disgusting and Vegas just dropped several miles in my estimation.
But I suspect she was a plant, or a friend, or at least a willing participant.

Was it Anne Robinson?
She likes being groped in public.
Playwrite extraordinaire.

I wasn't surprised about him doing this, because anyone who is a fan of low rent Friday night Channel 4 entertainment will remember him doing this

It's a very biased article, isn't it?!
Obviously, I wasn't there, so don't know what happened.
However, do you think that Simon Munnery would have taken to the stage to cover the pair with a coat? That's what makes me think it was a setup. I doubt two professional comics would commit such suicide on stage.
Do you think the 'James Williams' from NOTBBC is the same James Williams who posts on here?
German! GERMAN!

I'd guess that it's quite likely.
