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

Agreed, and I’ll go one better: Let Them In. After all, it’s (more or less) right there on our statue:

It looks like the Daily Beast article was updated and that he is going to be fitted with a new prosthetic arm.

He should flee to Canada and seek asylum based upon credible threats to his safety from American immigration officials. 

Hopefully someone in congress is seeing this story and will step in to stop this cruel madness. And then criminally prosecute the subcontracted “detention center”/privatized gestapo company for crimes against humanity. This is the most awful story in a week of awful stories.

Wtf is wrong with these people, Ice, the republicans, and trump can all eff off. 

abolish ICE 

Like, even if I thought Louis CK did nothing wrong, it doesn’t change the fact the jokes he’s telling as part of his comeback seem lazy, boring, and are more so angry rants than actual jokes. There are so many comedians who aren’t white dudes (or are white dudes who are less famous than Louis CK and better allies to…

I’m so in love with this image I’m going to tattoo it on my person.

There are so many talented people out there who deserve to have their voice amplified before these douchebags get another chance!! I’m really tired of this idea that if I’m not consuming their media I have no other options. I told a friend once when he was shocked by some famous movie I hadn’t seen “It’s not like every…

From what I’ve heard of his new material, clubs shouldn’t be booking him. Not least of all being because he’s just not that funny anymore.

I ventured into the comments to say the exact same thing. Maybe “the point of comedy is to say things you shouldn’t say” philosophy is why none of the “jokes” quoted above....are jokes. There are no set ups. There are no punchlines. It’s just saying things for shock value. I’m okay with edgy jokes if they’re actually…

It’s what bullies say to convince others that all it takes to be “hilarious” is to say horrendous shit, without any substance or reason behind it other than they can (and for many, that they’re actually racist, bigoted assholes). It really is amazing how many edgey dipshits (usually right wing) think saying racist,…

Yeah, that stuck out like a sore thumb. He’s obviously trying to set up something by defining comedy this way, but of course that isn’t the point of comedy.

I agree so much with this. Unless the comedian has a place in mind that he or she thinks we should end up after having pushed the limits (and unless this is a funny place), then leave the fucking limits alone. There’s no point in pushing limits simply to push limits.

Those are the comedians who punctuate every low hanging fruit joke with the c word or the n word as a means to be edgy. It’s all a thrill to teens who want to be rebellious, but those kids either grow out of it and have decent lives, or grow further into it and become Richard Spencer types.

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?

I thought this very same thing. If a comedian’s whole persona is based upon being an asshole and trying to shock it always strikes me as showing a severe lack of creativity. Anyone can be an asshole who doesn’t give a shit about anything. It’s easy. It’s aiming at the lowest hanging fruit on the tree all the time.…

That’s the thing about all these conversations about whether or not we should accept back these fuckers after some nebulous period of “time out” from public life - it presupposes that there’s no one else with sufficiently good (or better!) talent that we could direct our attention to. It all focuses on the tragic loss…

CK asserted “The whole point of comedy is to say things that you shouldn’t say. That’s the entire point.”
