Implied rather than inferred, surely? Yes, there are many differences, but at the core of my comment is the paramount importance of rejecting any strictures which would suggest that comedy must be 'nice', for the moment you accept such rules you kiss goodbye to your comedy culture. You and ksta are both welcome to object to these voicemails, but you'll have to choose better ground than 'not nice' - and in fairness, you have already done so.
