Dom Deluise's Egg Trick Does Not Go As Planned

StukaFox says...

I remember watching the very last Tonight Show with Johnny Carson when Bette Middler sang to him. It was such a real moment. They both knew that they were living in the final minutes of an amazing era. Things change, but watching this makes me wish I could go back and re-live a single day in the 1970s.

Moo Moo the cat doesn’t understand personal space

BSR says...

Moo Moo on my shoulders makes me happy
Moo Moo in my space can make me cry
Moo Moo on the water looks so lovely
Moo Moo almost always makes me high

If I had a space that I could give you
I'd give to you the space just like today
If I had a song that I could sing for you
I'd sing a song to make you feel this way

Moo Moo on my shoulders makes me happy
Moo Moo in my space can make me cry
Moo Moo on the water looks so lovely
Moo Moo almost always makes me high

If I had a space that I could sell you
I'd sell a space sure to make you smile
If I had a wish that I could wish for you
I'd make a wish for space for all the while

Moo Moo on my shoulders makes me happy
Moo Moo in my space can make me cry
Moo Moo on the water looks so lovely
Moo Moo almost all the time makes me high
Moo Moo almost always

a celebration of stand-up comedies best offensive jokes

Mordhaus says...

Ok, in the interest of fairness I did some further research on this issue.

He was fined a total of 42,000 dollars. This does not count his accrued court and legal fees which are estimated to be around 100,000 dollars at this time. I won't bother converting that to USD, but he is going to be out of pocket 142k as a ballpark figure.

This is the joke:

“Everyone said he sucked, but I defended him,” Ward says. “They said he was terrible, but I was like, ‘He’s dying but he’s living a dream, leave him alone.’ ” The niceties end when Ward figures out Gabriel isn’t actually dying. “He’s unkillable! I saw him at the water park, and I tried to drown him, but I couldn’t. Then I went on the Internet to figure out what was wrong with him, and you know what it was? He’s ugly, goddammit!”

That is all. He was making a joke that he thought the kid was being given a 'make a wish' type thing because he was dying, but that he was just ugly.

I listened to it and it wasn't really funny. However, it wasn't 142k worth of court costs and damages either. The kid, disability or not, is now a public figure and should not be protected from jokes at his expense. The fact that a comedian called him ugly does not mean he should get 42k in recompense because it made him feel bad. Fuck, if I got 42k every time someone called me ugly in jest, I wouldn't be posting here. I'd be on a damn Yacht in the Mediterranean.

People say hurtful things. How many people looked at this kid and made fun of him when he was trying to sing the Canadian anthem at a Hockey game? Does he deserve 42k from each of them?

One of the talks I listened to as part of this research brought up a salient point. The commission that was created to address hurtful speech has clearly ran out of 'real' hate speech to go after. To save their jobs, they need to start going after the next level of 'hate speech'. Where better to look than blue comedians?

This brings me back to my original point. If you create an organization and give it power to control what people say through punitive measures, it may work great when your group is in power. You will probably have no issue with it, as long as it goes after speech you dislike. But, no group is in power forever and organizations don't just disappear when a new group of leaders come into power. Suddenly you might really come to regret your choice to create that organization, especially when they decide it is 'YOUR' words that need to be penalized.

That said, my only dog in this fight is that I think it is idiotic to limit what people can say. They don't stop saying it, they just stop saying it around people they don't trust. This sows the seeds of dissension and the harvest is never a good one.

Hef said:

I think you're coming at it from the wrong angle.

Why should this comedian feel like he needs to take the low hanging fruit of making fun of a disabled boy?
He doesn't. He shouldn't.
Everything he cops after that is fair game.
He's lucky he didn't get the death penalty for making fun of a disabled boy, because that's the minimum sentence in my country.

Compilation Of Amazing Watches

00Scud00 says...

Almost makes me wish I wore watches again, oh, and I was a millionaire because you would probably have to be one to afford any of those. Fine movements like those don't come cheap, come to think of it, the last time I said that I was in a strip club.

Little Boy Gets To Be UPS Driver For A Day

spawnflagger says...

I very much hope this is real, and not some child actor. My gut says it's just a marketing gimmick though. At first I thought it was something UPS did as part of Make-a-Wish campaign, but there's no mention of that.

Man Locked In Hot Car To Prove Babies Are Weak

lucky760 says...

Considering how much it hurts me to hear about babies suffering to death in hot cars and how it brings me to tears being forced to imagine my own children, this really is not even a little bit fucking funny.

I was expecting and hoping it would come around and in the end be him dead in the car, but it's a dud of a joke and has no moral to just keep beating the same unfunny message from beginning to end.

It reminds me of that fucking guy who planned in advance to intentionally use that as an excuse to murder his son and how he reportedly told his wife that the boy looked peaceful when they removed his body from the car, but in reality all the witnesses said his eyes were wide open and rolled back in his head and his mouth was wide open with his tongue hanging out.

My typing that story fucking breaks my heart and makes me wish I could down-vote this piece of shit video a second and third time.
