Since when did the Irish Famine become something to laugh at?
I don’t know - maybe I’m far too serious for my own good - maybe the Great Famine is something to laugh about, given it’s so long ago. Maybe too this video is just a gentle satire of the current situation and maybe, if it was happening today, this sort of thing might actually happen. The Irish Famine: Do they know it’s Christmas? from the show “The Savage Eye”. I haven’t seen it before. Based on that I certainly won’t be watching it. I just don’t find it tasteful or funny - though it is David McSavage - and was quite surprised to see it on RTE’s YouTube account at all. What’s your take on it?
