Can you be sued for making a joke about someone?
Can you be sued for making a joke about someone? If I was to turn around and say that one of the princes for example had committed sodomy, right? And he hadn't, and it's a blatant fact that he hadn't, then of course I could get sued for defamation of character. Do you know what I mean? Quite easily.I think providing that there is some truth in what the comedian is bringing forth, well, I think it's very difficult to sue him because what he's doing is he's ridiculing or he's questioning the decisions or the policies that you've laid down. Okay, and the way in which it sort of like affects society or the general public as a whole. Because the one license that the comic does have is to tell the truth. And by telling the truth you can then find that comedy becomes a very powerful tool.
