ah the typical unfunny PC police here to shut down any insightful discussion in the name protecting the group you feign empathy for.

oh christ. This is why the Jezebel Social Justice Warrior keeps losing the average person. Because anytime there's something like this really touching piece of TV reminding everyone about the sadness of social pressure and persecution one of you has to butt your whiney head in and scream "WELL TOO BAD HE DIDNT ALSO…

It's not supposed to be resolved. Nothing in his act or show is supposed to be resolved or a statement. Simply some commentary. He's an observational comic, and it's simply talking about things that he does and inspires. His "faggot" rant was actually right on in it's observational stand point. Plus, he's *suppose* to…

I think you're sort of taking that the wrong way. Louie CK is a lot like George Carlin in that a lot of his material is based on the exploitative use of language. Have you ever seen his bit on the word nigger? It's carries about the same tone as this. It's not validating using the words, but just beating you over the…

Enlighten me. What is a "progressive comic"?

or maybe you are just a whiney pussy

I'm gay. Faggot is a wonderfully fun word, and not in an a weirdly endearing gay+gay or gay+girlfriend way. It's just funny.

I'll join the chorus of people pointing out that you completely missed the point of the bit you posted.

It is possible to be a genius and not be right on every topic. It is unavoidable that we are all good and bad. Louis doesn't represent anyone but himself and he probably finds plenty of things funny that others find offensive, you probably do too if you have any worthwhile sense of humor. He doesn't owe anyone an…

You missed the point.

I am queer and I thought his 'faggot' but was hilarious. Everyone has an opinion.

OH NO HES. NOT PROGRESSIVE ENOUGH CANCEL ANYTHING GOOD YOU THOUGHT ABOUT HIM give me a break. All comedy is at somebody's expense.... I'm guessing "progressive" comedy is only at the expense of white males *yawn*

I see this differently. To me, it's obvious the genesis was realizing how horrible it was that kids would call each other "faggot" without even knowing what it meant. I think we're supposed to understand that he's being facetious about still being allowed to say it.

Oh, don't be such a faggot...

Show me a single comic in the history of the world whose entire repetoire consisted of nothing but comic genius-worthy material. This isn't what makes him a comic genius; it's what makes him a person who's not afraid to be honest. He's not a spokesperson for liberalism, he's an intelligent and hilarious comedian who's…

Isn't your burner name a reference to a song from the Sarah Silverman show? In particular, isn't it invented to rhyme with "retarded"?

She is fat. Fat isn't an objective status, and we live in a society with an obesity epidemic, so maybe your view is askew. Maybe my view is askew. But she calls herself fat, and I think it's pretty apparent that she is fat.

The comments on this are totally depressing - the Jez 'community' can be so vile sometimes. When I started reading in 2008 the comment community was little and lots of fun - very funny, lots of anecdote-swapping and actually lead to a couple IRL friendships. Come on folks, stop searching subtext of every freekin thing…

There's a big difference between doing a talk show (which is part of her job) and trying to go about your fucking day. Just because you are in the spotlight for part of your life doesn't mean you owe the world all of your time. Your reasoning makes no sense, sorry.

I think we might have reached a break-through. tyura thinks the PSA above is the product of some feminist ideology rather than a White House sponsored PSA to support its latest legislation. So, he seems to think that the PSA actually reflects a feminist ideology about men being the only rapists, you know, regardless…
