For her part, Rihanna was unapologetic when asked about the whole incident with Lacob.

Can you blame him? Imagine sitting next to someone who is constantly cheering for Matthew Della-Della-Della-Dellavedova.

I said, ‘I’m the owner of the Warriors.’ She didn’t care...

The best part of this story is that even Kate Moss flies EasyJet.

One passenger reports that Moss, after being refused alcohol by flight attendants, went to get vodka from her own stored carry-on. After she was reprimanded by the flight crew, Moss allegedly called one flight attendant a “basic bitch.”

what qualifies someone to be a “basic bitch” versus just a plain ol’ run of the mill bitch?

the fact that there is a French tabloid just called “Oops!” is pretty much the greatest thing in the world.

Word.

If Kate Moss called me a basic bitch I’d get it emblazoned on a t-shirt and proudly tell everyone the back story at every opportunity.

I work as a comedian, and there’s plenty of material still out there to work with. It does have an effect though. It makes you less willing to try material that deals with sensitive issues. Ten years ago I might approach something at a few open mics, maybe get some negative feedback and either drop it from my act or…

Quite a few commenters already label Erin “racist” and were trying to spread that when she took over Jez.

And the fact that while schoolkids know that being sexist or racist is bad, they don’t actually know what those words mean.

And in context about his daughter calling something sexist, he wasn’t wrong. Her mother likely would have said something similar to a teenage boy. Just remarking on romantic interests at that age.

I can’t speak to a cultural trend, but I have noticed in myself in the last five or so years a tendency to analyze entertainment before I enjoy it. It’s become almost involuntary. I’m so used to questioning whether something is hurtful or insensitive that sometimes when I’m watching stand-up or other comedic…

That’s probably an over generalization as there’s a lot of great comedy out there today but there is an issue out there. A show like Silicon Valley can have a great first season, like really funny, and be met with a lot of wanky articles about the various ways it was problematic.

Something like All In the Family and Married with Children wouldn’t be put on network television today. The crazy thing is, as ‘politically incorrect’ both those shows were, they were really making fun of small-minded and offensive people.

Agreed. Although it’s a little unfair to single out colleges. Progressive minded people well past college age are contributing to this as well. Sitting in the audience at comedy shows with their phones sitting on their Tumblr and Facebook pages waiting for the comedian to make any joke referencing any group so they…

Even though you whittled down the reach of your comments with the repetition of “specifically,” posters will still think you made a gross generalization. That’s my bet. And it is those posters who are killing comedy. Also, I agree with you.

Clearly his best/most insane was getting down to Machinist size and then bulking up for Batman.
