The Trio Channel has been showcasing, uncensored humor all this month. They have been showing different programes which features humor some people may see as offensive, not offensive or maybe even both. For example, Last night they aired the Lenny Bruce special which air on television for the first time ever. Before Andrew Dice Clay, Before Dennis Miller, Lenny Bruce was one the most censored Comedians of all times. He used a lot of taboo issues such as racism for his material which shocked a lot of folks back those days.

The program which I thought was interesting was the show called Sick humor. It was also focusing on raunchy topics people are afraid to talk to about, yet we can find ways to joke about. They told some jokes which at the end you hade to decide rather the joke was offensive, not offensive or both. Some of the jokes from which I can remember went like this...

Offensive jokes are only justified if they are funny.
