the thing is, she is doing ads for Old Navy! Why on earth?

loved all the final shows.
Now, not to be negative, but Letterman was amazing in the 80ies, I watched it religiously, but the move to CBS and 11:30 really seemed to suck the life out of the show and it became a formula.
But still it brought back great memories. Larry bud Melman, stupid pet tricks, chris elliot,
i…

not to be super contrarian or anything but Slow Train coming is one of his best albums…. who cares what its about.

regarding cancer, another point to make is that failing to acknowledge the relationship between cancer and cigarettes was in a way, the worst sort of lie that the advertising business ever made.

the very obvious reason he wasn't picked is that he is the least athletic black guy in america. so useless at challenges.

ya I said maybe precisely because I don't know, and neither do you, so I'm just speculating.
Oh, and I didn't decide she was annoying, she is annoying, and everyone on the show felt the same way.
And….. why the hell do you care?
It blows my mind that you are worried about this chick.
I'm just asking some questions…

I totally understand his point of view. And I can't understand why anyone would attack him for it. He has no obligation to do any movie he doesn't want to do, and wasting his time with lame half assed artists seems like an obvious pass.
And why would anyone care?
Also, this is what you get for being honest when you…

no I'm definitely not.
I'm saying that you should be sceptical of people's claims of abuse.
all claims.

does she have a robot father as well?

I downvote your fucking face you pathetic loser.
hmm, that was harsh…
sorry, I upvote your face
I upvote you in general
whatever

You know you can't kick me out without going to the teacher, so, I think I'll just stay and wait for someone to address my original comments.
As for you being a dude, well, since you want to go down that road,
Sorry for mistaking you for a girl, but I guess that must happen to you alot, since you are obviously a huge…

yes I'm defending abuse.
I also think rape is great
genocide is super
and who can forget elder abuse?

Yes, of course, but none of know what went on, so how can we make any judgement?
Shirin is making herself out to be the victim, and perhaps she is/was, but I find her to be a dubious individual, that's the only comment I'm making.
What do you think? is the subtextual question I'm asking.
And does it need to be said…

key word there is "maybe"
we don't have both sides of the story.
I'd like to hear from her family.
If she is going to tell family tales on TV, shouldn't they have a right to respond?

because one incident is proof that most claims of abuse are fake

She never said that on the show, which is all I'm aware of so far. In fact she said she was "assaulted" and then backtracked and said " verbally assaulted" which is a huge difference.
You know, parents yell at their kids all the time. It's called discipline. I'm wondering if shirin didn't require a little discipline…

here's the thing….
none of you have understood my comments at all . I'll spell it out a little more
I'm not defending abuse
I'm questioning whether or not she was even abused at all, and questioning why she would even bring it up, even if it were true.
I find it a bit rich that she says all this, that is basically…

public forum so, no …

I said no such thing. so….. re read my comment and then discuss and stop being silly

child protective services were never mentioned on the show.
