Yeah, because, um, those people who complain about Tosh doing a rape joke are EXACTLY the same individuals who would read and enjoy 40 Shades of Grey and not be bothered by it!  He sure is adept at pointing out hypocrisy that only exists if you don't think about if very hard!

I suspect that Noel thinks that if he says over and over how much everyone dislikes Season 3 and the Rita storyline, it will justify his own personal dislike of those things.

Can we give up the dumb lie that South Park is anti-everything?  It's 100% libertarian and always has been.  Making fun of liberals AND religion isn't being against everything; it's being against everything libertarians hate.

If it weren't for The Daily Show, NO ONE WOULD MAKE FUN OF FOX NEWS.  All the pandering in the world can't take away the fact that we need someone to be doing that.

@eric827:disqus : Uh no, the point being argued was that it was bad for online commenters to get confronted in a negative way for the stuff they say about other people.  Also, that it's crazy and evil to, in a confrontation between a celebrity and an on-line shit-talker, to have sympathy for the celebrity.  And both…

You know what you're doing? (ignoring the weird tu quoque attempt that makes no sense in context.)  You're making a privilege argument.  You keep saying "average guy" like that makes a difference, and you phrase it as they "dare to" speak up… as if it's violating some unfair, authority-protecting social norm to say…

Joe Franklin was the exception on that show and not the rule.  The archetypal H8er celebrity is Kim Kardashian, and while I honestly wouldn't recognize her if I saw her and have only the faintest idea of who she is, I'd still be annoyed at someone talking shit about her on the internet, because, for all I know, she…

Puh-leez.  Criticizing celebrities doesn't (usually) cause the same social harm as criticizing little gay kids, but no one ever said they were equivalent.  
Being a hateful, unempathetic psychopath on-line is a bad thing, even if your target is someone a lot of people have heard of.  Those people exist; those people…

What about Naked Lunch?  Does it count if the entire movie is basically the scene in question?
