More scum sucking tripe from the BBC. It seems personal insults are considered entertainment by BBC controllers. Here's one for you Norton: - for somebody I presume orgasms when pushing other mens shit uphill, it's hardly surprising that this is your level of humour.
BBC in new taste row after Graham Norton makes 'not hot' jibe at Camilla... in front of Prince Charles
By Bo Wilson
The BBC defended Graham Norton after he made a joke about the Duchess of Cornwall's looks - in front of Prince Charles.
In the latest bad-taste episode for the corporation, the flamboyant presenter implied Camilla was 'not hot' at a rehearsal for the Royal Variety Performance.
His quip followed a raunchy performance by The Pussycat Dolls.
Norton said: "And there you have the Pussycat Dolls singing to the prince, 'Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me?"
The gag had Britain's Got Talent winner George Sampson, 15, in hysterics - but it is not known how Prince Charles reacted.
Last night the BBC said the joke was being included in the recording of the show, which Camilla also attended.
A spokeswoman said it was "light banter" and "no offence" was meant to Camilla.
The Royal Variety Performance, held at the London Palladium last night, will be shown on BBC1 next Wednesday.
Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles was in hot water last month after implying Polish women were only good for ironing and being prostitutes.
The self-proclaimed Saviour of Radio 1 told listeners: ‘If you’re Polish you’re just very good at ironing...in my experience prostitutes make very good cleaners.’
Poles living in the UK have now launched a petition demanding an apology for the ‘offensive and nasty’ comments, which they claim are racist.
Despite receiving 95 complaints so far, the BBC was defending the controversial presenter today saying his words had been ‘misinterpreted’.
And in October, Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand provoked public and political outrage by leaving obscene messages on the answerphone of actor Andrew Sachs.
These were then broadcast on 33 year-old Brand's Saturday night Radio 2 show.
More than 42,000 people complained with both Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Conservative leader David Cameron criticizing the presenters for their conduct and the BBC for allowing it to be broadcast.
The outcry prompted Brand to quit his BBC job and the £6-million a year Ross was suspended for 12 weeks without pay.
There is still considerable anger that the station controller Lesley Douglas and its head of compliance David Barber were forced to resign but Ross managed to cling on to his contract despite damning criticism from governing body the BBC Trust.
Norton himself is no stranger to controversy, in 2003 he had to apologise after making a joke on his Channel 4 show about the death of Bee Gee Maurice Gibb.
