US court backs comedian's right to tell mother-in-law jokes
A standup comedian who was sued for making mother-in-law jokes had the last laugh after a US federal judge threw the case out of court.
Sunda Croonquist, whose act for years has been to describe her life as a half-black, half-Swedish woman who marries into a Jewish family, was sued two years ago after her mother-in-law, sister-in-law and brother-in-law said her jokes were holding them up to public ridicule.
