Hell's (Kitchen) Bells


Watched UK celebrity zoo, Hell's Kitchen last night. Extended shock episode. After comedian Jim Davidson's homophobic attack on Brian Dowling, Brian was a bit upset, standing up for himself despite crying so much he could hardly talk. "I'm speechless," he said.

So, Jim immediately had a go at him for playing the victim. But immediatly, when told that times had moved on, Jim himself turned victim (and hypocrite) by saying something along the lines of, "Well, if the world is changing and its no longer ok to be racist and homophobic, then what happens to people like me?"

Unlucky Jim, things moved on, but your comedy stayed dated. Where are his friends in all this? Probably agreeing with everything he says. At least his (only) friend in the house, singer Paul Young, told him the truth by saying, "Sorry Jim, I just don't know why you did that, mate."

No, us niether.

The website says Jim has now left, although the presenter claimed on the show last night that he was asked to leave.
