Meenzer 15873 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Just consulted the article on Rab C. Nesbitt and encountered the following fantastic paragraph: The programme is especially notable for approaching far darker topics and themes than those that are usually encountered in sitcoms (although almost always in a blackly comedic manner rather than a serious one), amongst them cannibalism, contract killings on the homeless, suicide, sexual harassment, neo-Nazism, mental illness, zoophilia, murder of suspects by police officers whilst in custody, alcoholism, organised crime, devil worship, mass long-term unemployment, mariticide, drug dealing, police brutality, gun crime, ringworm, domestic violence, transsexuality, shoplifting, infertility, drug abuse, atheism, alcohol-induced cirrhosis, eating Rottweiler flesh, murder and cancer, often several usually unapproachable subjects by comedy used in the same episode. I'm not sure what's funnier, the fact that someone's bothered to sit down and make a list or the bizarre priority given to the individual items...
