Ofcom received 487 complaints from viewers that the monologue was offensive. It featured Atkinson claiming prayer "doesn't work". However the regulator stated in July the sketch was not in breach of rules, saying it was justified by the context. Big Brother, with 965 complaints, was 2013's most complained-about TV show.[/quote] I'm surprised at how low the numbers are, nothing got more than 1000 complaints
What pathetic lives some people must lead to personally write and bitch about this sketch.
These people who complained about that sketch probably don't understand the concept of humor.
That was... Terribly inoffensive. Who the hell would call and complain about that?

[QUOTE=Riller;43218609]But it didn't even mock God or Jesus. Made a joke or two, and mocked the concept of prayer, but that's as bad as it went.[/QUOTE] It mocks the church, and that's the same thing in the eyes of a fair number of Christians.
Ofcom already investigated months ago and found it didn't breach any rules [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-23125495[/url]
Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2013 soon, gonna be fun to see the Daily Mail readers shit themselves with rage again.
How is this offensive. I found this funny if anything.
