Actually, she seems to be a bit off balance and wants to lean against the rope, but it gives way.

The Flava Flav bling the mayor is wearing is his "livery collar" or "chain of office". Old European affectation.

Yeah, take that Will Smith and Oprah. God forbid you guys can become superstars and multi-millionaires. You have to "stay genuine", and never change, even if it means staying dirt poor or mediocre. Conforming to some vague notion of "blackness" is more important than personal achievement.

And fuck Obama too, and Ursula Burns, and any other black person with talent, drive and determination, who happens to have charisma and appeals to other races. And god forbid someone undergoes personal transformation and change to succeed, especially in a society where the chips are stacked against them on day 1. No, it's better to know one's place.

Yeah, Barack, Ursula, Will and Oprah, even though you guys are actually transforming what it means to be african american and black by kicking down barriers, so that black kids can feel they can do anything and be anyone, FUCK YOU.

Will, you should still be rapping about Philly with the other ol' skool rappers on tour on the c-circuit. Oprah, you should still be doing "who's the father!!" shows and competing with Jerry Springer and Maury. Ursula, wasn't middle management enough? And Barack my man, you did much more good as a community organizer.

C, your premise and line of thinking is ridiculous. Can you explain to me what role is acceptable for a black man? You castigate Will Smith for being weak then complain about Samuel Jackson and Denzel Washington? These guys aren't flava flav for gods sake.

Please forgive me for not seeing your sarcasm, if that's what this is. >> ^chingalera:

When it comes right down to it, who really gives a fuck why Will Smith back-slapped a reporter, or why the reporter decided to kiss him. All that really matters is that Will Smith, one of the whitest black men in America, will never get any revenue from me, as I plan to download the film from many of my friends around the world who won;t shed a tear when Hollywood dies.
He can join the other list of sell-out negroes in Hollywood who have taken the $Bait$ and become masters of a weak stereotypical representation of the African-American male.
There's the ultimate hero negro: Denzel Washington, Jim Brown, (AKA, The Victim of Society Negro
The Superhero Negro: Wesley Snipes, Samuel L. Jackson, Laurence Fishburne
The Historical Hero negro Cuba Gooding Jr., Denzel Washington, Will Smith
The Sidekick negro-Sam Jackson, Morgan Freeman, Don Cheadle
Cop/Psychologist/Social Worker Negro-Sydney Poitier, Whoopi Goldberg
and then there's the , "Only African-American female to ever win an Academy Award for best actress getting ass-raped negress, Halle Berry
Fuck Will Smith, he's another total sell-out.

Love the Flava Flav head moves.

Hey! You tricked me! Flava flav wasn't in that!

They'll be able to sell this tech to Flava Flav.

he's got grains of truth, sure.
but, to me?
it's just the reasons he thought of, to explain why he doesn't think women are funny.
now, i don't doubt that he doesn't find women funny.
but, i do.


Lampenelli is funny no question. But she is a perfect example of one of the exceptions Hitchens mentions in his original essay.

Long Live Flava Flav.

(ahem) upvote for unique awfulness, as instructed, ma'am.

i don't technically have to watch it as well, though, do i? i watched the other one, definitely. i loves me some flava flav.

tell ya' what. i'll go watch that one a second time now, to make up for it....

So why did they bother to roast Flava Flav anyway? Do half of these comics even know who he is? Why not roast Carrot Top?

The best Carrot Top bashing ever was by Joel Hodgeson of Mystery Science Theater 3000. He started out as a prop comic - a screamingly funny and endlessly inventive one, and they were both on the same bill one time. Joel discovered Carrot Top backstage riffling through Joel's props.

On the other hand, Carrot Top looks too lean these days to be roasted. He'd have to be basted, or maybe deep-fried.

lol that's what i was thinking transporter: hey, flava flav was there cheering him on!

A flava flav cuckoo clock - I want one!
