Frankie Boyle, who targeted Angelina Jolie last week by tweeting that she should sell her body for sex, has raised eyebrows with a second sick joke about the actress.

The 40-year-old comedian has been condemned by cancer campaigners after he made light of the 37-year-old's potentially life-saving double mastectomy breast operation, the Daily Star reported.

Just days later, he said: "An impossibly sexy woman, who campaigns against war, between playing gun-toting assassins, had her breasts cut off and resculpted to save her own life from cancer."

"If her next press release could be instructions on exactly what we're allowed to pleasure ourselves about from now on, that would be very helpful, ta," he added.
