If you consider the Chris Rock interview an opinion piece, you’d be correct. Also, many of the Op-Eds directly refer to comments made by a comedians.

I don’t dispute that DM is more than a little tabloid-y, but that story is well-known so I don’t think it undermines the point in this situation. You can find it in a variety of sources.

Shut the fuck up, Jihadist.

Who criticized them? Rock just stop playing colleges because he didn’t want to play to snowflakes like you.

. . . says the guy crying about jokes he doesn’t like.

I think that they do end up playing different gigs. I think Rock flat-out dropped all college gigs. But this type of complaint - to me - is a legitimate case of PC run amok:

I can’t say because I’ve never, in my life, been to a comedy show on campus. This article details it pretty well though and I, generally, consider The Atlantic to be a good source for information.

I, generally, think that is contrary to the “Anonymous” part of 12 step groups. They do not let anyone off the street just walk in although they do have so-called “open meetings” on occasion.
