Title: What we have here is a failure of sense of humour
Post by: jeremyp on February 15, 2016, 12:19:34 PM

Stephen Fry, National Treasure, is in trouble with the Twitteratti for a joke he made at the BAFTAs.

He said "only one of the great cinematic designers would come to an awards ceremony dressed as a bag lady". And to be fair, it looked a bit like she was.

Still, it's any excuse to get on your high horse and have a whine.

That's no way to talk about his husband.  >:(
