Which sucks. I think he is funny as hell. Loved his Ali G show years ago.

But when you start out a show whose premise is that you are going to try to attack half the people in the country with scorn and contempt...that's just bad business.
Nailed it! If you watch and feel he is taking the piss out of someone 'in power' its funny. If you feel he's taking the piss out of you (Or your values / beliefs) then it is completely different.

Ali G / Borat took the piss in a harmless way - This show doesn't do it in the same way...
