^Moss, Stephen. "Jimmy Carr: 'I thought my Paralympics joke was totally acceptable'". The Guardian. Archived from the original on 21 September 2016. Retrieved 11 December 2016. Pretty much standard-issue Jimmy Carr: tasteless, offensive, short, targeting disability – one of his key subjects alongside rape, paedophilia, prostitutes, homosexuality, Aids, the physical and sexual abuse of pets, sex of all kinds (but especially anal), penises, breasts, vaginas ... excrement, the awfulness of the Welsh, the even greater awfulness of the Scots, fat women, fat children, fat pets, fat Scots, and people (fatness optional) with ginger hair.
