Devil's advocate:
"I am a famous comedian well known for humour type X; Dell hired me to MC their event knowing this; which is at least tacit approval of my routine. Otherwise they obviously wouldn't have hired me"
If you have to hire someone and tell them not to use their trademark humour then why are you hiring them in the first place?
- daeken 14y agoI don't think anyone is saying that the comedian didn't have the right to say what he did, or even that he shouldn't have said it. The lapse in judgement is on Dell, not on the comedian.
- AndrewDucker 14y agoAbsolutely. I don't blame the comedian for the situation - he was carrying out his job. I blame the people who booked someone without checking they were appropriate.
- Deestan 14y agoYes, that's the point. Dell are the ones to blame for putting that guy on stage, and they are getting the criticism. MC, however despicable, just did his thing as advertised.
- sp332 14y agoI don't think "Dell" deserves the blame. I think whoever booked this guy is to blame.
- anotherthrow 14y agoThat would be a representative of Dell, acting on behalf of Dell, arranging for payment to be made by Dell.
- sp332 14y agoAnd hopefully punished or even fired by Dell, because they're not representing Dell very well.
