Henry Rollins showers us with here with intra-familial social commentary about a classic husband wife disparity of understanding. The TRUTH in his "rant" is the statement "You don't understand me."

Brilliant bit of social commentary too. Music got annoying though!

Didn't feel there was any patronizing going on. Thought he used who he is perfectly... played the stereotypes in his favor, capitalized on his awkwardness, even snuck some mild social commentary in there.


Yes! You know what's up! The man may or may not have been patronized by the audience; but he went up there, did his set and killed. I have respect for that.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that this should be "life-changing," but I'm very impressed by the way the author used an under-valued form of expression (video games, known for being mostly entertainment without any real meaning or social commentary) to create something that can make people pause, think, discuss, and analyze the work and its relationship to the real world.

I wonder what the hell is going through these people's minds sometimes.

Seriously, what the Daily show has been attacking as of late is softball journalism. The comedians, by making social commentary and making good points along the way, have in essence become the watchdog for the media since the media has failed so miserably in the past few years.

The social commentary at the end was great

^ Nasty cough you got there. I'd nip round to your local drugstore.

As for comedians often giving us the best social commentary? I find it appropriate when we are governed by such clowns!

I find it sad that comedians often have the most important social commentary.

Same here, mate. Didn't read the tags, was enjoying myself immensely ... and then it got change'd.

yeah i dont think this should make it. if you are showing this as a social commentary rather than entertainment then well.... but even still, to even recognize what these kids did by exploiting peoples sicknesses and misfortunes while displaying an obvious disdain for an entire social class seems frighteningly like something nazis would do to jews for laughs.
the lack of compassion which is required to treat humans as animals is the same lack of compassion that allows ethnic cleansing and genocide to occur. seriously; the nazis, the Rawandan government in 1994, and the ottoman empire used propaganda designed to strip the jews, tutsis and armenians of their humanity, in order to be able to systematically murder them in the millions with the complacency of the rest of the populations.
so at the very least, no upvote from me. in my opinion, i think you should remove this or atleast explain your reason for posting this to avoid fellow sifters thinking less of you.


Terrible!?

Your a Nazi for not wanting to employ the homeless. They made money for that shit and that is a way more honorable way of getting cash than fucking with me when I walk down the street. Homeless people can have a purpose too damn it.

"I think Hitler was right"
Given how the Jewish population of Australia is virtually non-existent compared to the US, I think this is a bit like someone from Alaska making edgey "social commentary" on the racial anxiety between whites and blacks in the US.
EDIT: I know he was probably poking fun at antisemitism anxiety


Actually, I think he was trying to see which he'd get more hate mail for, trashing Ocarina of Time, or giving Hitler a thumbs up.

My money is on the former.
