British prime minister David Cameron wants to ban all jokes.
Cameron, the Conservative leader who attended the royal wedding last week, supports a ban on all jokes - particularly on TV.
An independent survey may recommend the restriction - or then again it may not.
According to a new press release issued by the Royal London Society for the Blind and reprinted in today's Daily Mirror; "Most people say they no longer find jokes about disability, race or sexuality funny.
"More than eight out of 10 now believe such gags are unacceptable and a third told researchers they felt 'uncomfortable' when told a joke about a sensitive subject."
The survey was carried out in the wake of Frankie Boyle’s gag about Katie Price’s disabled son, Harvey, on his Tramadol Nights show.
Although David Cameron is completely unaware of the survey's existence, a source close to the PM who really exists told Fagburn: "This could spell the end of all jokes on TV - and not just before the watershed, but, like, ever."
The ban has been slammed by someone from Corrie who Twittered last night; "So PM now baning jokes. WOT!!! Is he having a larf? LOLZ!!!"
