To be sure, R. Kelly is much worse than C.K. However, the public has no better ability to hit these people where it hurts than by hurting their bottom line.

I’ve never given them any in the first place, so this boycott will be easy for me!

These #metoo people don’t understand that money moves everything, not political correctness.

Is that not a boat shoe?

The ugly question not discussed here is about the pecuniary side of this shit: if you book CK and you advertise that you booked CK... will you turn a profit?

This woman is a treasure. My t-short-folding game has been elevated to a fantastic new level.

It is definitely punching down because Chapelle is a rich, famous, and influential person and the jury was just a bunch of regular people with no power or influence apart from their time in that jury.

cursory google search will show you that religiosity has a more negative connotation than religiousness.

I also think you knew what I meant and you’re being pedantic for some reason.

Solid rundown. I’m appropriate indignant now.

I completely agree that it’s wholly unnecessary, “feel good” legislation brought by conservative law makers to score points with police unions and the jackbooted crowd. I’m just saying that once it’s in front of O’Rourke, the trap is sprung: he can either sign a piece of legislation we both agree isn’t going to do…

It’s asking a lot of O’Rourke to vote against a bill that does nothing but make an already heinous crime punished more severely, simply because it was distracting or derailing for the bill to be introduced in the first place.

You’re going to have to explain the difference as you see it, because the definition of “religiosity” is “strong religious feeling or belief.”

I certainly understanding the hate if Pratt and Schwarzenegger are anti-LGBTQ activists. I would say Jez is actually taking it pretty easy on them for being anti-LGBTQ.

The shitty pet owner sucks. The hunting and livestock slaughtering... I mean, I eat meat. It comes from somewhere. I get this is an issue for a lot of people, but I’m certainly not going to take a holier-than-thou attitude under the circumstances.

Are there any legitimate reasons to hate on Pratt and Schwarzenegger? I know it’s sometimes kewl to ‘dunk’ on religious people (hacky and tired as it might be), but have they done something that should make me want to root against them or otherwise see them torn down?

I don’t see how anything but a very strained reading of the Piss on You sketch is “punching down” to the victims. To me, watching the sketch at the time, the idea was clearly to point out how absurd it was that R. Kelly was basically bulletproof because he openly and notoriously reveled and (arguably) profited from…

If you failed to maintain your car or drive legally you would potentially share some responsibility.

This is such turd bullshit. I could probably avoid getting hit by a drunk driver by never again taking to the streets for any reason—but if I were to be hit by a drunk driver while out and about, it wouldn’t be my fault.
