RE: Bill Hicks should have won

Should have been no.1 in my little opinion.

"By the way, if anyone here is in advertising or marketing, kill yourself. Thank you, thank you. Just a little thought. I'm just trying to plant seeds. Maybe one day they'll take root, I don't know. You try. You do what you can. Kill yourselves. Seriously though, if you are, do. No really, there's no rationalisation for what you do, and you are Satan's little helpers, OK? Kill yourselves, seriously. You're the ruiner of all things good. Seriously, no, this is not a joke. "There's gonna be a joke coming..." There's no fecking joke coming - you are Satan's spawn, filling the world with bile and garbage, you are fecked and you are fecking us, kill yourselves, it's the only way to save your fecking soul. Kill yourself.

I know what all the marketing people are thinking right now too. "Oh, you know what Bill's doing? He's going for that anti-marketing dollar. That's a good market. He's very smart." Oh man, I am not doing that, you fecking evil scumbags."

 

Ken Dodd only at 48....

You get more laughs out of Doddy in 10 minutes than that shower of ***** Izzard, Kay and fecking Billy Connolly could put together in a week.</p>

Comedians my arse!</p>

Doddy is King.</p>
