The video IS the initial criticism - if you click through to YouTube someone has titled it as such.

My namesake Charles married his first cousin Emma Darwin, and he's like The One Guy back then who really should have known better...
So am I. I will admit that crossed my mind when he did "that" voice for a pedo - and I watched a clip without the "this is not a gay voice, by the way" quote. I'm not saying that's what I think, but that I can accept that some other people might take it that way, that wouldn't be an unreasonable thing to think. I know…
No, I'm not suggesting that at all, the maker of the video I've posted here is suggesting that. I'm not agreeing or disagreeing either way - I'm just saying he won a round with (some) feminists, and now he lost a round with (maybe) some LGBQT advocates. I'm just saying comedy is like that, you're bound to offend some…
I don't think he even DID defend Tosh, he said he complimented Tosh's comedy in a different context - he wasn't defending Tosh or the rape joke, he was defending himself being caught up for complimenting a fellow comedian at a REALLY bad time.
But then he got called out for implying gay men = paedofiles:
I think this person is responding to the comments, which are probably more important in the community vibe of Jezebel.
There was plenty about dead babies in the Oh My God special, thank you very much:
Yes, I think parents who deny gay couples the right to marry because they don't want to have to explain homosexuality to children are really making a mountain out of a molehill! When you're a kid and a grown-up tells you something a bit complicated, I think to a certain degree you just accept it, shrug and then go…
If you read the full article there is a kind of sad bit where their daughter says she wants Daddy to be a boy again. Laura said that was the part where she doubted her decision the most, but it's good she persevered because a swap back might have just been more confusing for everyone and certainly not the best outcome…
I very much like Lush in principle, but whenever I see the price tag and ingredients underneath one another I am inclined to make my own. I was about to replace our J&J talcum powder with a Lush one, but when I saw it was mostly cornflour with a bit of vanilla fragrance I decided I could just use the custard powder…
I know that feel. I too was an "accident", though my mother was kind enough to assure me that I wasn't a "mistake". However she had mental health problems of her own and did frequently tell me never to have kids. Or as she put it, "if you want kids, get a dog". I never wanted kids, but I went and got a dog. Or rather…
This happened to me when I posted photos on Facebook of me holding my nephew the first time I met him. I got so annoyed with my friends (all now mothers) saying I should pop out a few sprogs and that I looked "clucky". According to PHOTOS, I was apparently desperate for a child. Get a grip, people. I haven't posted…
It might also be that as their household would have two mothers, maybe people (homophobes aside) can't fathom of such a lovely double-maternal situation going to "waste". The question of babies usually gets posed to us uterus-possessing females, not so much the guys, so a couple with two uteri might hear it twice as…
To quote a line from a label on a bra I once bought: Cupcakes without frosting are just muffins.
Road rage insults tend to be racist where I'm from, rather than sexist - once after cutting someone off on the way to work they shouted at me to "go back where I came from" - quite an assumption to make, as I was not only born here but of the same race as the guy yelling. But obviously only certain people from certain…
I'm less worried about the noise and more about the non-vocal cues like those crazy wide eyes and the ears pinned back, as well as that "bad taste in the mouth" lip smacking thing cats do when they are pissed off. Cats vary quite a bit in their behaviour, this could be a just a bit of a quirky thing this cat does, but…
We don't have Gatorade in this country, so we treat hangovers with blue Powerade. Yes, it must be blue. Makes for fascinating vomit if you have no luck keeping it down...
So they just vented to someone else who would do something about it? If it really is about something so important as your kids health, suck it up, complain yourself and deal with the vitriol. Surely it is worth it to keep your kids safe. If this were from a parent of child who had serious health concerns, I would see…
I just got this question, from a job advertiser who had put in their ad that the pay package was 100k (85k US) and they still asked me what my salary expectations are! Erm, what you said in the ad will do just fine? But I pitched lower because they were suggesting I didn't have everything they were asking for, but it…
