Is (British) Comedy Dead or Just Lame?

The question in the title is mine. The article posted below is not, but I think we're both asking the same question? Almost.
The British Comedy Awards: Gallery and Review (of sorts)...

I agree mucho with what is said.

Then there's also this: Comedians are taking over the world, but funnily enough, I'm not laughing
Isn't it funny how women are complaining about the state of (British) comedy? It just made me laugh. Sort of...*le sigh*

If only I was funny...

I just realized I could have tweeted the last two posts, but I don't know how to do tiny url's and too lazy to find out. Also, I prefer this corner of the Internet.
