The OP was speaking of the previous article as well as this one, and your response was “I noticed y’all are still clicking and commenting, so thanks for doing your part to keep our traffic strong. ;)“, hence my question of whether you feel it ok to drag innocent people for clicks. But reading is comprehension right?

I mean, I guess in saying this you’re owning your cynicism? Like, I get it, it’s your job. But blog-articles like these make the site feel a lot less genuine, and reacting with such a blasé attitude makes the “GMG Editorial is probably forcing them to write about this” rationalization a lot of us have over that, less

So you admit to being ok to dragging innocent people for clicks? That’s pretty fucked up.

I’m going to dissect this bullshit one bit at a time:

Lets not kid ourselves.  If you grew up in a town in this country with at least say 75 years of history, then chances are at least half of the organization that run in that town had a racist past

LOL Of course Barsanti is who they call on to double-down on this bullshit, and of course he gets just as much wrong about the actual truth, how shit unfolded, and Kemper’s apology.

The lesson, son, is: Never try.

Comedy is all about observing and reporting on culture, in ways mundane and profound. If you don’t understand that culture, or refuse to engage with it, what the fuck are you doing as a comedian?

I had a row with a friend a few weeks ago about this kind of thing. Granted, I kind of baited with him with a “white men whining about things!” line... but I find a lot of “comedy defenders” get right up on the high horse with COMEDY SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO SAY ANYTHING. NOTHING OFF LIMITS. 

The problem is that everyone tried to paint this as overt racism which it’s obviously not. A very wealthy person on break from Princeton received an award for being pretty from a weirdo in a lace mask during an annual gala for wealthy families in St Louis. That’s all very, very mockable. Obscene wealth has it coming. 

You write for a website (and family of websites) that just tried to paint someone as a racist because in 1999 at age 19 her parents made her go to a ball that had started allowing Black people to join an insufficient amount of time (20 years) prior to that.

Can all of the Wahlbergs and all of the Afflecks just get dropped from a small private plane somewhere over the Alaskan wilderness? Polar bears will track humans because, apparently, they are delicious. Grizzlies will mostly just fuck a human up. Still....

nah, plenty of artists keep their heads down and just grind it out.

Good show. I think it suffers from people being tired of vampire shows. By people, I mean the other 99.9% of the population that wears clothing with colors and goes out during the day.

I love making fun of Schwim, and he was TOO Ross in the other projects he did at the same time as Friends (Band of Brothers), but he is also the founding member of the incredibly influential Lookingglass Theater Company in Chicago (plus stinking rich) so he can take it :)

“California won’t care about farmers!”

The urban population centers of California and New York care little about farming so now no new farming legislation gets passed because “the people” are more worried about public transit and crime.

In this fast-paced modern world, you have to learn to multitask. You need to be able to care about Matthew Perry and make fun of David Schwimmer

Could he BE anymore of a distraction??

Are . . . are hot dogs common airport food?
