I remember Jimmy Carr saying just about the only thing comedians won't joke about these days is Hillsborough. Apart from that he said he couldn't think of a single thing he would consider off limits.

Well, each person reacts how they react. I can almost guarantee you that he said offensive things about other groups of people before he delivered his dead baby joke. It's hypocritical to sit through offensive material and then get enervated when he hits on a subject that has personally affected...
