Not for the first time, Jonathan Ross's idea of what's funny has caused more offence than it has laughter. I know children can find the use of swear words funny for a while, but eventually they grow out of this stage. When somebody who is nearly 50 still thinks an adult audience will still chuckle at it, it shows a seriously deranged individual, especially those coming to attend a charity event in support of Great Ormond Street Hospital.
Another example of Ross's humour. soon to be aired, is where he is offensive towards Bruce Forsyth, somebody truly loved and respected by millions in this country with a career that is still going into his 80's. As old as Bruce is, he still manages an effective response to Ross with the retort that 'My true showbiz friends who would have loved to be here tonight are dead... Eric Morecambe would have torn you to pieces tonight.
'And Eric would have mentioned his long and varied career, unlike yours. All washed up and you're not even 50 yet.
More deranged than Ross is the BBC executive also paid LOTS of public money who thought Ross was worth paying £6 million a year of public money for.
If when reading this, you still don't see why this site, and others like it exists - then I hope you'll keep taking your medication. Otherwise please look to take some kind of action to put an end to public funding of the BBC. With the executive and starring talent that they have, their complete demise will follow soon after.

Jonathan Ross's foul-mouthed c-word routine stuns fans at charity gala
By Paul Revoir and Donna Mcconnell
Stories about Jonathan Ross being offensive are not new.
But the outgoing BBC presenter managed to appal thousands of fans at a comedy gala last night with his repeated use of the c-word, the most offensive in the English language and encouraging the audience to repeat it.
He took the stage at the O2 arena for an event in aid of Great Ormond Street hospital.
And it wasn't long before he lowered the tone with a routine that was foul-mouthed even by his low standards.
Britain's got talent: Patrick Kielty and Jack Dee took their turn on stage on a night to raise funds for the children's hospital
The 49-year-old, who along with Russell Brand was behind the Andrew Sachs scandal which saw him suspended from his BBC job for six weeks, seemed determined to offend from the start.
He branded Office star Ricky Gervais a 'lazy c***' twice for his video link cartoon sketch with Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington. And then he asked the audience to help him 'break the record for the most people to say the C-word in one room'.
Some did but others appeared uncomfortable. Not that Ross noticed as he used the word at least three times in the routine.
Earlier, Ross, in a pointed reference to his replacement on long-running show Film 2010, had said: 'It is great to be here.
'But the way my career is going, it is great to be anywhere. I had to get here quickly in case Claudia Winkleman got here first.'
He then compared being on stage to the sexual practice of dogging, before saying: 'Who will get to the stage first and let me f*** them.'
Ross's routine went on to make lewd comments about Lady Gaga.
The chatshow host was appearing at the Channel 4 Comedy Gala in aid of the children's hospital.
And he wasn't the only one to raise eyebrows.
Irish comedian Patrick Kielty also drew gasps after he said: 'No two words sum up Michael Jackson's career like sick and children.
Meanwhile Ross's next television appearance is set to cause just as much controversy, as he appears on a show taunting TV veteran Bruce Forsyth.
The pair are set to trade insults on show Comedy Roast - a US-style show in which guests must endure a barrage of tongue-in-cheek insults.
But of course, Ross's sail typically close to the wind. He calls Brucie 'f****** ugly' and says the Strictly Come Dancing host 'had done a lot of s*** in his time'.
He goes on: 'Brucie's the greatest performer of his age, and I can say that because the rest of them are dead. How old is he? When the dinosaurs died he was taken in for questioning. He has got a Bible autographed by Moses.'
But Forsyth, 82, hits back with his own cutting remark at the end of the show.
