Exactly. If he really wants to make the character revolutionary, he should make the middle aged disillusioned man a college professor, then showed him having an affair with an attractive student of his.

Amber Heard coming out didn’t hurt her career, her crappy acting did.

Dammit Barry!

Well played. *golf clap*

I like watching Cobert and remembering his old persona on the Daily Show & the Cobert Report.

It’s like ... I can almost hear millions of assholes everywhere furiously typing out the shittiest possible take on this story.

I’m sorry you got that kind of grief. I was one of those who said there wasn’t enough evidence to hang CK out to dry, mostly because I am a Jen Kirkman fan from hearing her on podcasts. Anyone with a brain could see that there were two valid approaches to the issue at the time.

I never commented before, but I will gladly do so now.

I’m not gonna lie, this is depressing for similar reasons above. His routines are usually pretty self-aware and generally call for a better planet. Saddened to see that he’s just as guilty as the other shitbirds

Doesn’t mean people can just grab her at will.

slapping and shaming a groper is also goals. she’s, like, 110% awesome.

I think it would be more progressive to eliminate the need for a Ms. Bumbum pageant.
