BBC Asian Network - BBC Asian Network's Big Debate, Offensive Comedy

Where do you draw the line with comedy? Qasa is asking this after reports that some parents have taken their children out of a comedy show at a Welsh Village’s first Pride festival. Some felt the comedian’s jokes that involved race and sex went too far. After that we’ll have our new fortnightly panel discussion, where Qasa who is due to become a father at the end of this year, gets advice from men about fatherhood. Then the author of ‘Fashionopolis: The Price of Fast Fashion’, Dana Thomas, joins us to talk about her investigation into the mass production of trendy inexpensive clothing and the damage it’s doing to our planet. Plus, Qasa wants to know, if you have a tattoo are you judged for it? According to reports the All Blacks, the New Zealand rugby team, will be covering up their body ink for a game in Japan because of local cultural sensitivities of tattoos being associated with organised crime gangs.
