No. He’s been paid to be funny. Sometimes you can be funny and be an asshole, but the moment at which you start thinking that being an asshole is inherently funny is the moment you start being a shitty comedian.

So you want to live in a world where shitty, unfunny comedians are given just as much attention as good ones?

Oh, fuck no. I would have been so much happier if I could have gone through yesterday without having to hear about another goddamned over-the-hill white comedian’s Hawt Take about Louis CK and all the other terrible people whose shitty behavior he’s been able to ignore over the years because none of it personally…

Oh, absolutely. The right to a Tonight Show appearance is one of the cornerstones of our democracy.

You can speak several opinions! “I prefer pineapple on pizza”? Still employed! “I think that the Beatles are overrated”? Nobody’s firing you for that! “The ‘72 Dolphins could totally beat the ‘02 Patriots”? Fuck, there are a lot of people who will hire you to hold opinions like that!

“I became a lot more of an asshole over the last twenty years. You know who I blame? Women.”

We have been having a public debate about what constitutes sexual harassment since, at minimum, the first Bush administration. Unless Norm Macdonald is a fucking space alien who only recently came to our planet, he should not need an education at this point.

I can’t check from work, but... is it just Disney, or has he done others? Specifically, has he done the Sid and Marty Krofft theme park in Atlanta that got turned into CNN headquarters when it went bankrupt? Because if he hasn’t, I’m suggesting it to him.

You know, I was willing to let this slide until “I would have thought we could have a slightly more nuanced discussion here but I guess not.” Which is a bullshit, passive-aggressive way of blaming other people for your poor communications skills. When you start with, “Twilight was poorly written garbage with many…

I mean, I don’t exactly wanna drag you, but at the same time “if you don’t like your job, don’t do it” isn’t a standard we apply to anywhere else but Hollywood. Pattinson is simply engaging in the time-honored tradition of complaining about his shitty-ass job that he does to put food on the table and a roof over his…

Politics encroaching on religion, or religion encroaching on politics? There’s a big difference between the two, and I’d say it’s more the latter than the former that’s happening in America right now.

...you’re a goddamn babbling moron and I’m sorry I ever wasted time interacting with you.

Yeah, I was almost impressed at the level of white privilege expressed in this paragraph:

I know this is a crazy, mixed-up, wild notion, but... she’s already worth $275 million dollars. Maybe she could take some kind of an ethical stand here even if it costs her money?

There are hundreds of children in internment camps in the fucking Arizona desert right now. Anyone saying, “I don’t know what lasting damage you could point to” is a fucking asshole.

I can’t believe she didn’t know. I don’t even live in California or work in the movie business and I knew--this guy has had “piece of fucking work” written all over him since the 80s. He’s almost defiantly loathsome. I assumed he’d been run out of the industry by now, and I’m genuinely stunned that not only is he…

There’s some basis to justify that hope. Church attendance and identification with organized religion is going way down when you look at it on a generational basis, and many experts think it’s because of the intrusion of religion into the political sphere.

Except that, and pardon me if I don’t phrase this in exactly the kindest and most sensitive way to Alex McLevy... this entire article is pure bullshit. The Ritual of Chud didn’t actually happen like that in the book. There is a scene in the book where one of the kids describes a “Ritual of Chud” as a joke-telling…

Not to mention, the Republicans will continue to insist that they’re “tough on terrorism”, while ignoring the fact that Obama got bin Laden and Khadaffi.

I have no strong opinions on this.
