27. Your response is hysterical.
Someone said something that offends you - now what do you want to do? Take them off the air permanently? Burn them at the stake?

DO YOU HONESTLY THINK JUDY GOLD IS 'ADVOCATING' BURNING PEOPLE? REALLY? If you do, you are the one with the problem, not her. Her offense is that she reached and failed to be funny. You are clearly hypersensitive about this and you are really overreacting. Did you ever consider that maybe her comment was an ironic parody of current thought?

And besides, what were you doing watching Tough Crowd? The show sucks, it has always sucked, Quinn is trying to do Politically Incorrect but neither he nor his guests have the intellect or comedic chops to pull it off.

I fully understand how fukked it is to be a fat person in America. Everyone could stand to consider a little more compassion. I have never been fat (despite what my kids say) but was once very skinny and believe me for a male that isn't much better. This current faddish fat paranoia will pass, as everything else in this shallow culture does. On the other hand, MOST people are fat as a result of diet and lifestyle choices. That may really tick you off, but it is the truth.

There is plenty on the airwaves that is supposed to funny but isn't. This isn't even a particularly good example IMHO.
