Taking things to their illogical conclusions

There was a two part radio programme on Radio 4 called PC RIP? about the history of political correctness. It didn't have that much that was new to me, but it did structure the ideas well, and was engaging - which usually enough to make a radio programme worth listening to.

One of the things it reminded me about was the rant Stewart Lee gave on Heresy ages ago. When I first heard it there was something so satisfying about him departing from the show's usual tone of playful devil's advocacy that allows unpopular perspectives to be put forth, but simultaneously allows them to be dismissed as a mere jokes. And to realise that his decision to depart from that tone was because what he wanted to say was important. But while it made me me love him forever, I don't think it was really that effective.

This bit of his stand up is essentially based on that rant, but it's not so angry that it dispels any humour, it's more considered and developed, and I feel it works better.

Note: the last bit of the second video is NSFW.
