The TV1 satire programme "Face Lift" can be very funny at times, as it neatly skewers the politically correct idiocies of our politicians.
Last night it left behind the funny and descended into the gutter, when it depicted Green Party leader Jeanette Fitzsimons defacating into a pot plant.
The item was utterly gross, the punchline had absolutely no relevance to what had gone before, and the writers/producers deserve to be hit hard.
I suspect Jeanette will not complain, on the grounds she will be accused of "not being able to take a joke". But if she does, I for one will give her my full support.
