    I was just citing her as an example. Never said she was a brutal threat or anything of the sort. I was saying her behavior was a reflection of the larger political landscape. Her tweet was wrong because it didnt pay attention to context. Being well intentioned isnt enough if you want to try to cancel someone's show.

    First of all, I believe this clarification came out later after her original statements. Secondly, does it matter if he's white? It's either funny or not funny. And finally, Colbert was parodying Dan Snyder's attitude towards Native Americans. I don't believe there would have been any real blowback towards Asian

    My point was that it was needless kneejerk reaction from her and others looking for a reason to be angry. It's unfortunate that's still happening to her, as Colbert rejected that type of behavior in the response to his show.

    I think to some degree it's flatout ageism. When the 40 year old Patton Oswald says it via a tweet, its amazing. When the 60 year old Jerry Seinfeld says via that hole in the head that people eat from, it's a bit too much.

    I think Cancel Colbert was a complete success. I mean, it's not airing on Comedy Central anymore. But that was an example of how the hivemind mentality could make a claim without checking it, even if it was proven false within a week. Rather than trying to find out the context, people would rather call Colbert a

    I think there is much more to "Political Correctnesss" than just racism, as Jerry points out in what says. It's more about the attempt to not offend anyone with anything you say. You can't make generalizations about a race (as Chris Rock does in his stand up), or say anything that might offend someone of a different

    I completely agree with Jerry on this front. I can't believe how many people are taking the other side on this. For example, remember last year when people on twitter tried to cancel Colbert because of one quote taken completely out of context? People are looking for reason to be offended by jokes, rather than

    No I just think that it's funny.

    Yeah, but it's clear that's not the creator's intent. Stannis isnt supposed to redeemable. He's the one that's ordering the burning. If Stannis didn't want her to burn, he could easily stop the entire thing.

    Ramsay sneaking through Stannis's defense and guards so easily is such bullshit.

    I didnt say it was all white. I said it was really white, like most television shows. Chang's fear confirmed.

    Yeah, but the Nielsen Ratings is a representative sample, not a measure of total viewership. The keeping a diary system he ranted against is the Nielson Rating, which is a measure of the 18 to 49 demographic. So it's likely that Community had more people watching in the demographic than the Nielsen ratings showed.

    I was trying to think about what I liked most about this finale. And I guess I would say the uncertainty of it all. There are things that happened (Elroy working LinkedIn, Abed leaving for LA, Annie going to an FBI internship) that felt incredible climatic. But there was a deliberate sense that none of the characters

    that whole bit made it seem super final.

    According to Abed, TV's not supposed to perfect. Just stick with you in the good times and the bad.

    Kofi needs to win Money in the Bank, so we could all become Mr. Money in the Bank!

    One of the things I love about wrestling is you can see where wrestlers influences are. Zack Ryder doing the Unprettier was a great homage to his former opponent from his ECW days, Christian. I hope he continues to do the move as its a great transition move.

    Letterman: "Well, it doesn't look like I'm gonna get the Tonight Show!"

    Her performances are great, but not at the level of "best in the world." That's my point. I havent seen those performances and I regularly watch NXT. She can still get lost out there with the wrong opponent like Alexa Bliss.

    I think the claim that Sasha Banks is the best wrestler in the world is a bit unfounded. The NXT audience (which are the smarkiest of the smark) added to that match, She's a great wrestler, make no mistake. But she's not there yet. To give her the title this early impedes her development. There's a whole host of
