sexist jokes banned in jail

[Rincewind]

Just saw this on the news where they look the papers. But before anyone gets on their soapbox crying 'pc madness' I believe the story was in the Sun and the jokes banned are a selection that appear in the inhouse magazine. No doubt racist, xenophobic and gay jokes are also monitored. I would not think that the prisonors are being stopped telling jokes of any kind verbally.

One example was read out. The guest said it was not funny.

Q) Why do men die before women?

A) Because they want to.

Maybe that should be banned because it's crap.
