This comedic act on national television was vulgar

Dec 29, 2016 Letters

Dear Editor,
I am not a very great fan of comedy shows but on Boxing Day I was watching Television on NCN Channel 11 also on Channel 65 was the same comedy show. To be honest; I am not very much interested in all these comedy shows but yesterday the comedian mentioned some immoral things on his show that makes me think very deeply. The comedian always talks to a person on a phone he refers to as Uncle George but on Boxing Day he went to the extreme where he made mentioned of the President and Prime Minister’s private parts by referring to their ‘’balls’’ and also other previous Guyanese Presidents.
I don’t know who this man is but he is stepping beyond his boundaries by the foolishness he articulates on national television and radio. How can this man disrespect the President and Prime Minister by talking about their private parts? He also mentioned lots of political and sarcastic stuff on his insane show. It is my firm opinion that this man should apologize to the President and Prime Minister also his shows should be banned from television and radio.
I also note with a great deal of interest that many of these link shows at the Cultural Center and many plays make mockery of the Christian religion and other religions. It’s time we have a censor board to scrutinize all link shows, comedy-shows and drama before they goes public. Many of these shows have lots of defamatory and immoral speeches including cuss words, sexual overtures and tons of racial and political remarks.
When our young people see these shows they create more racial, political, and religious problems in our society. It is my firm view that many of our ‘’so called’’ playwrights here should do more reading and receive more teachings if they wish to produce plays of substance. Many who sings calypsos too for Mash Awards also sing songs of racial discrimination and songs that degrade our leaders. And we give them awards for such immoral renditions.
Democracy is good but sometimes it can mean do what you like, say what you like, and live how you like. If we have more shows on national television like the comedy referred to above show that degrades the President, Prime Minister and past Presidents I think we are really going down the road of immorality. I call upon the Minister of Social Protection and the Minister of Citizenship also the Minister of Public Security to take a look at this man’s show that was aired on Boxing Day to make their evaluation. I also call on the management of these stations to look at every program first before they aired it. This comedian owes the President and Prime Minister a public apology.
