They won't sack him but they could go the fine path they did with Ross. They also couldn't sack Ross because of the huge amount of work he does it would cost more to replace him in all those shows he does. Plus, he probably had a clause in his contract about payment if sacked that would have pissed of tabloid readers even more.
By giving in once over a fairly minor comment they have painted themselves into a corner. Can they say comments about a grown woman sleeping with a known playboy is worse than jokes about murdering women? To me complaints about either in huge numbers is lame but interesting to see the frenzy play out.
The last thing any of us need is a 'decency' witch hunt. Especially with the conservative front bench pretending to be offended by things now too.
