I watched a very disturbing documentary last night on More4 about the Afghan tradition of Bacha Bazi - the 'keeping' (read, owning) of young boys for the apparent purpose of dancing and singing at parties. Of course in a culture where access to women is hugely restricted, these effete little lads take on a certain attraction beyond their dancing and singing ability. The owners and admirers inhabiting this world are the biggest bunch of predators and paedophiles you'll ever lay eyes upon. They'd be locked up and dwelling at the bottom of the prison hierarchy in any civilised society.

I hate Jason Manford. He is quite good on panel shows but his stand up is awful IMO.

Proof if proof were needed that some countries are still in the middle ages.

A radical Islamic website is warning the creators of "South Park" that they could face violent retribution for depicting the Prophet Muhammad in a bear suit during an episode broadcast on Comedy Central last week.

RevolutionMuslim.com posted the warning following the 200th episode of Trey Parker and Matt Stone's "South Park," which included a caricature of the Prophet Muhammad disguised in a bear suit. The Web posting also included a graphic photo of Theo van Gogh, a Dutch filmmaker who was murdered in 2004 after making a documentary on violence against Muslim women.

"We have to warn Matt and Trey that what they are doing is stupid and they will probably wind up like Theo Van Gogh for airing this show," the posting reads. "This is not a threat, but a warning of the reality of what will likely happen to them."

Reaching by phone early Tuesday, Abu Talhah al Amrikee, the author of the post, said he wrote the entry to "raise awareness." He said the grisly photograph of van Gogh was meant to "explain the severity" of what Parker and Stone did by mocking Muhammad.

"It's not a threat, but it really is a likely outcome," al Amrikee said, referring to the possibility that Parker and Stone could be murdered for mocking Muhammad. "They're going to be basically on a list in the back of the minds of a large number of Muslims. It's just the reality."

Al Amrikee said the website is considering a protest against the "disgusting" show, which also depicted the Prophet Muhammad in an episode on July 4, 2001.

"This is not a small thing," he said. "We should do whatever we can to make sure it does not happen again."

The posting on RevolutionMuslim.com also includes audio of a sermon by Anwar al-Awlaki -- a radical U.S.-born preacher now believed to be hiding in Yemen -- who discusses assassinating individuals who defame the Prophet Muhammad. It also included a link to a 2009 story in the Huffington Post that gave details of Stone and Parker's mansion in Colorado.

A Comedy Central spokesman told FoxNews.com that the network has no comment on the posting.

Got to agree there, his stand up is appalling. The mainstream stand up scene as a whole is dreadful.

If you actually write down what most comedians are saying, there is just absolutely no substance at all, they're not even jokes. I saw a sketch John Bishop did on TV a few weeks...basically it was about how, in years gone by, you had to sit at a telephone table sideways and use an old fashioned dialler. It's observational comedy scraping the barrel most of it.

The only thing is confidence, say something with enough confidence and conviction and some people will laugh. Get enough people in a room for the laughter to be infectious and there you go.

It's something I'd love to see more 'on the circuit' because I'm sure there is some great, inventive stuff out there, my money and time usually goes on music gigs though.

Comedy Central have also censored the episode, which is simply giving in to the religious extremism. It's diabolical that radical Muslims deny anyone freedom of expression, but believe it's perfectly justified to launch death threats at those "disrespecting" their prophet.

Think I'll have that tattooed on me arse. It is written that Mohammed was indeed a Paedophile, but draw a cartoon of a bloke with a beard wearing a bomb for a hat and it's acceptable to murder you and yours and burn your bloody house down.

Welcome to the middle ages.

Just had a bit of a catch up after a few week of being busy

Charlie Brooker is normally brilliant at everything he does, but I'm liking "You have been watching" a lot. His rant to Lauren Laverne not getting the NerdRage over the advert for Over The Rainbow in the final Dr Who scene was brilliant.

Lost. Finally, some answers !

Glee. Ok, I know I'm probably the worlds only hetro male that gets Glee, but take away the camp "kids from fame" singing and there is some GREAT comedy underneath.

Farscape. Must this first time around (many years ago, but FX are reshowing an episode a night).

Modern Family. It's Fraiser 2.0 meets My Family.

24. Ok, I just want to get to the end now, lost it's shine a little.

Ashes To Ashes. I'm convinced they are all in one inter-linked coma (some have worked it out, other not) and everyone bar Gene wants out.

I love Charlie Brooker's stuff but I don't like You Have Been Watching. If someone else was doing that on TV when he was doing Screenwipe he would have torn it to pieces. Screenwipe and Newswipe are brilliant, but I think he's in danger of becoming a cliché, ironically the kind of thing he usually complains about.

He doesn't need celebrity guests to do his kind of show, I don't get the point. His rants work brilliantly as monologues in his other shows, but they take on a new form when a studio audience and celebrity guests are lapping it up.

Plus that alternate election thing on Channel 4 looks like dog shít. Please don't move over the dark side Charlie. :(

More of a heads-up than a "Last Night..."

ESPN Classic is showing the England games from Italia '90 this week. Egypt tonight (now), Belgium tomorrow, Cameroon Friday, Republic of Ireland on Sunday, Semi final against West Germany next Monday.

Some real memories there from back in the days when Gazza was a genius and Linekar was a national hero and not just a TV Presenter - and David Platt scored the most amazing and dramatic goal I'd ever seen. Keep the hankies close by for Monday. :(
