You know who else is pretty exhausting? John Oliver. Samantha Bee. Amber Ruffin. Stephen Colbert.

I get not casting white people over people of colour. That’s fair. Taking roles away from minorities is bad.
And I can see the thought behind this, as overweight people aren’t well treated by Hollywood or society at large.
As a fat person, I’m fine with thin actors playing fat people.
I KNOW Sarah Paulson truly doesn’t give a shit. She’s being forced to make these statements but insipid, ridiculous liberal pod people finger pointing screechers. Fuck them. These are the liberals who give sane liberals like me a bad name. Every day, another celebrity is forced to capitulate. Their agents hand them…
She drove all the way to Russia to have that photo taken.
Once again, he was certainly not the worst guy for the gig.
1. That’s not a bad apology, although it is kind of vague, and given in the larger context of non-apology for the substance of the discrimination allegations made against him from his time at The Price is Right. (perhaps he’s come back and said more about that too, but last I saw he essentially denied being…
That’s not the worst of it, I did some internet sleuthing and discovered that back in 2006 he went on a racist tirade at an LA comedy club, yelling at an audience member and calling him the N-word a bunch of times. Asshole.
Rodgers and Burton really wanting the job doesn’t make them qualified for it.
I recognize that B99 is in a tough spot in the current climate, but for me this show simply isn’t capable of dealing with serious real world issues, and frankly it shouldn’t try. It is an absurdist, workplace farce. The B99 precinct does not exist in our world, and nothing about it is remotely realistic, or more…
This controversy is 5% what Richards may be guilty of and 95% people being pissed Burton didn’t get the job. Just sayin’.
Maybe less “tone-deaf” and more “hack site that pretends to care about morality but really just needs to churn fake moral outrage content while also churning any content”
Ok, so today I learned it was/is bad to make fun of Rebecca Black, because it was mean but also more importantly there’s now someone new to make fun of.
You could certainly be confused in fall of 2013. Bill Cosby’s fall from grace happened at the end of 2014 (prompted by a Hannibal Buress clip going viral, of all things). Bill Cosby was still putting out comedy specials at the end of 2013 and generally thought of as an adorable elderly figure, going on the talk show…
As soon as I pressed publish, I realized it was kind of a dick thing to assume you have the same comedy tastes as me. My apologies.
“Wow, politico are such jerks for making people at LOTO look like rubes. But, yeah, they’re rubes. Just don’t have to say it out loud, Politico. That’s rude.”
Dowd’s framing of Wahlberg is definitely devoid of any well-thought-out perspective of a rehabilitation of a hateful person, so I guess Dowd is the type that very much would answer you no: a person who committed a hate crime is two-dimensional and cannot develop empathy, regardless of time.
Not only is there no coming back from it, any attempt on his part to atone, however well-meant, will be deemed insufficient, pandering and hypocritical. This is the way.
Dude, his crime was in his teens. It’s horrible but why did it become trendy to hate this guy like 3 years ago? Is there no coming back for him?
Sure, if the charge is that he’s a creep with bad judgment I’m not going to defend the guy. But that’s a whole different league from predatory pedophile.
