I'm usually find myself unconcerned by the amount of attention and criticism Oliver Stone and his films generate. However his antics last night at the British Comedy Awards shook me from my indifference.

Stone was in attendance to present the award for best comedy film to the creator of Wallace and Gromit, Nick Park. As he took the stage he quipped "It's great to be back in England. I feel like Jack The Ripper days are back. Nothing ever changes here." Naturally the audience, who failed to see the funny side of his remark, gasped and jeered. Stone realising that his 'joke' had failed miserably, further mocked them by saying "You're a lovely crowd." What a showman?

One audience member commented on his behaviour as follows: "If he was trying to be funny, then he failed.
"To make a joke like that when five young women have been murdered and the killer is still on the loose was in unbelievably bad taste."

What a great strategy for endearing yourself to the British media and public, never mind the feelings of victims families?

The man is an idiot
