For all of his life, we took Jimmy Savile seriously. He was a fund raiser, and a do gooder.
Now (shoot me for my opinion!) he deserves nothing other than ridicule, lampooning and mockery, for the absurd and ridiculous travesty of a man that he turned out to be.
In the old days, he would have been put in stocks, and we could pelt him with mouldy vegetables. In modern times, he becomes the butt of jokes.
I don't think there is any level on which the name of Jimmy Savile deserves dignity. He should become the butt of a million jokes.
However ...
There is also a view that says if you mock the offender, then you have no sensitivity for the victims.
So, on balance ... even though, like me and (mathematically extrapolating the geometric multiplication of forwarded texts and emails), probably about ten million others, you have been bombarded with Jimmy Savile jokes (I just got the one about the McSavile burger) ... I would probably not share them on AB.
