as a main character in fawlty towers, one of the funniest british sitcoms ever, he has a place in a lot of peoples hearts, and they picked on the wrong person. manuel will be remembered long after that twat brand, although ross is ok.

I think you are not listening. Yes, we get it was rude and over the mark but the reaction is FAR FAR too much. And he isn't 80..even if you round off his age he isn't 80. Heck, somebody his age is running for president in the USA. I enjoyed him in Fawlty Towers, though I bet some Spanish people were offended by his portrayal of them. It doesn't mean the two comedians need to be circled by the lynch mob.
Don't you see anything not right with calling for censorship on things you (general you) didn't actually see or hear yourself?
