Frankie Boyle's rather infamous routine (the Ministry of War routine I shall now call it) sees a white comedian using the P- and N- words. These are understandably shocking and should be generally off limits for a white comedian. The exception is... was Bill Hicks, whose routines incorporated racist epithets, coincidentally in exactly the same way as Frankie did, to illustrate the brutality of racism. Bill Hicks is a secular saint, however. The amount of raw, slightly bewildering cynicism that has come from Frankie means people are liable to miss when he's being sincere.
