Posted in Politics at 6:51 am by Michael Johnson

I want to see “300″

ke6 has been watching too much tv

I saw an interesting documentary from channel 4 in UK. On the death squads in Iraq. It was on video.google. Just searched for Death Squad Iraq there. I love the UK reporters. This women is actually out in Iraq talking to guys with a translator. Shows how useless US media is.

hahah that why no sound, it was on mute in linux me voy encima

sorry, a UK reporter is in Iraq with a translator, and that shows how useless US media is?

Timur,

Just she’s out there in the field ding real reporting.

the us media is not reporting the postive of iraq

ah, ok.

this documentary is like nothing shown on US TV.

what channel?

not that I am saying iraq is prefect but it much better

Saw it on video.google. Was from UK channel 4. This link has been kicking around.

it’s not much better, really. It’s better in some ways, but a lot worse in a lot of other ways.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2672821173995817383&q=death+squads

thanks was just gonna ask in fact, that video shows pretty much how Iraq sucks.

The Shiites are saying it’s biased to SUnni, which it is, but still I think it has a point that needs to be made.

I agree I also agree that the US media sucks compared to the British in terms of quality of coverage, analysis, depth, etc.

Yeah the UK-ans are seeing this, and we’re fussing about the OJ biography.

I couldn’t agree more that our obsession with the petty and trivial is a disservice to ourselves.

I find the bbc coverage to suck they are one sided tend to care more about poor and less about captial capital seems they on;y care to spend 15 to 20 min on some poor person then on world bussiness news

capitol or capital?

gop well I find no media is really accurate I mean look at our topic here when did Hezbollah try to seize power

but that why I don’t watch tv it all sucks then thier the poor paltisne people onm bbbc but hardly any news on the jews poor jews

ok, that’s not what we’re discussing or watching now, though. and except for Israel, the BBC is pretty fair. and much better quality, reporting-wise, generally, than its US counterparts.

and then it coverage on iraq is one sided but then it fair to say it european news point of view

no, it’s not one sided.

just becuase they spend 15 min on the poor

it’s called ‘quality reporting’.

it don’t make it quality y

maybe you should.. watch the video. except it is quality.

one video

oh sorry I wasn’t paying attention

one video is one video that means nothing

one video, representative of 100s of others I’ve seen. except it does. It’s called ‘a pattern’.

you suppport many of thier views tghat why you like it I don;t execpt for irasel you agree on thier views

no, I support good reporting

which they cover

it’s not views.

it not good reproting

It seems like most US foreign coverage is brits anyway.

maybe watch the video?

to spend 15 min on just oone side

uh, you haven’t even watched it, have you?

not this video

have you ever watched *any* BBC reporting by foreign correspondents?

this video may or may not be good I have not seen it

it is.

but ON local pbs, they have bbc and in my restruant we get bbc america it news coverage tend to be one sided they spend very liite time on bussiness side and more time on poor

coverage will ALWAYS be onesided gop

huh?

which it oh k for then to do what they want

all media has an agenda to get people to believe something or another

yes the poor in africa

I mean it’s all propaganda

Rebec, that why I don’t watch tv

ok, I’m talking specifically about coverage, by foreign correspondents, of foreign affairs.

it say it good reporting

so, that sounds like a ‘no’

just becuase they love the poor is bs how about bussiness news

how about it

and what bussiness are doing to do good for society

that’s not what I was discussing. how about movies

why are bussiness in less time then say poor

Timur ok tell me what you were discussing

I never seen bbc movies

I just said.

I’m trying to participate but I’m off mark I guess

it’s not movies.

some of their none news shows are good bbc has very good none news shows

media coverage of foreign affairs by correspondents being onesided?

I’m talking about.. for the 3245532th fucking time, BBC coverage, by foreign correspondents, of foreign affairs. it has top-notch news coverage.

oh, I don’t watch BBC so I can’t speak to that

if you’d watched it, ever, you might know that.

sorry

Timur, hmm bbc is overtly not in favour of iraq war top notch, that subjectiv

right, that’s not the sum total of foreign coverage, though.

e Timur, no the sum is poor people in africa or middle east

I watched BBC in Kiev when I was there

yeah, it’s the subjectivity of someone who can differentiate between ‘good’ and ‘crap’.

the coverage seemed to be objective then

Timur, you can please

but I’m not sure I’d believe all of it

it’s not.. exclusive.. to ‘poor’ people. jesus christ, you sound stupid sometimes.

I am sorry, I don’t claim to differetiate good or bad I never bbc was bad I said thier focous was ON X subject most of the time not that it was bad or good

well, most people in the world, are.. poor. amazing, that coincidence.

Timur, well that thier focous it one sided

no, it’s called proportionality.

never what american has done that is pro

not a lot of rich people in.. Darfur.

and thier anti irasel

why is most of the world poor?

good q.

or thier view on iraq

darth cause of evil americans!

Timur its because they are not capitalists.

blame america, for the world “poor” DarthBurg,

right, but that’s, again, not the sum total of their coverage.

gop I was being sarcastic

they cover pretty much everywhere. for example, Darfur.

yes pretty much just the pooor

or Liberia. Or Brazil. Or Myanmar. etc.

yes they show us as doing nothing they show america in a negative light but it oh k, they are not american based

right, they’re not

and that is, bbc still have none great news

none?

on bbc america I seen good sitcoms the wierd thing is bbc america shows nudity

think he meant “Done”

and curses

ok, you have no sense of what news is. oh, then ok.

bbc is news

yeah, what do you mean by none

but it one sided news 20 min on some poor we got the point 10 mins ago

ok, for christ’s sake. no, I really doubt that.

none, I mean sitcoms thier sitcome shows, are none news and are good

i do not care for the BBC, buts mostly because of the fucked up accents

and good is my opnion of good you may dissagree

their news is good, and those who dispute that, but can’t really say why except that ‘they often cover stories having to do with people who are poor’ ..

well I never said it was bad just onesided

sound really, really stupid, since .. most of the world is.. poor.

so all the world is poor

neither side in Sri Lanka is very wealthy. Should that be ignored?

how about news on london

i do not watch enough TV news these days to have an opinion

no, not all the world. Just most.

I don’t watch tv or own a tv I see a left of center view in bbc coverage of news

so where do you see it? or.. have you?

you see that because your political tendencies get the better of you.

blame the well off, on the not so well off

the beeb admitted as much not to long ago

it’s not blame to talk about the Sri Lankan civil war.

that one story and thier conculsion, is the west is not doing much rather not go to iraq, and go to sri kanakan

yeah, and the US media barely ever covers it, and when it does, it’s not with much (or any) depth.

or what ever

huh?

Timur, well the internet media does

yeah, one example among dozens.

go to lexis nixus type sri lankan civil war and you find many reports

ok, I’m talking .. again. .about .. US cable news, on tv, vs BBC news.. on tv.

but you find any thing

man.

I don’t watch us cable media it all bad

ok, that’s the first true thing you’ve said.

if you do, then form your opnions then that you

the media in the US does leave a lot to be desired.

then that I what

it all one pundit against the other the only time I watch us media is on you tube to laugh

I agree

like the wacko chrstian lady

Jon Stewart’s critique on Crossfire was properly damning.

who said gays and milltary should be killed and hannity and clomes called h er a wacko it ws classic and funny

yeah, when the news starts to resemble Jerry Springer, there’s a problem.

hannity asked her ” do you or have you ever sin”

nod

she would not answer it it funny it on you tube

just take the hysteria over that loser Kramer’s comments and the news media that generated. you know they have the wrong fucking priorities

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=889968848656043401&q=stewart+crossfire right, cheap, tawdry sensationalism, little to nothing of substance, no real analysis or depth.

he is not kramer…

yeah thats a good clip, if its Stewart, the snake, and Bowtie

yep!

classic

I played it after I finished a Powerpoint in grad school for the class it was, as one might expect, well-received

Kramer is not Kramer?

his name is richards

yeah him

Timur, thus I turn it off

kramer is a real person

Timur, I don’t need the bbc 20 min on poor documentry or the us media crap

did the real Kramer have to apologize to?

the internet is fine

he had to come out to let people know that he is not the one that said that

is not Micheal Richards the actor who played Kramer on Sienfeld?

yes

Timur the only good media is internet and no not blogs

so what is the problem? there is an actual Kramer?

yes. his name is kenny kramer. cosmo kramer was based on him

no, that’s not the only good media.

figures, noting about seinfeld was original

the BBC, for the thousandth time, doesn’t ‘only cover the poor’.

hehe

they also cover, you know, Dubai. Not a poor place. Or Singapore.

well, poor and royals

or middle class people in those countries.

Lady Pelosi wants to help the middle class.

you know, if you actually knew what you were talking about, you would be better placed to make assertions.

whether they want the help or not

BillFrugg I shudder to think how high taxes will have to go to help

DarthBurg, I shudder to think that we will find out shortly

hang on to your wallet itsa gonna be a bumpy ride

Mae West?

BBC is kinda like NYT. really good in-depth stuff from excellent journos hidden within. Just have to ignore the blatant slant in the political areas

Birds won’t even shit on the NYT

I put the NYT down for the dog, and it looked back up at me as if to ask “wouldn’t that be redundant?”

did you know if you light a NYT sunday edition on Fire, it will heat a home of six?

oh no… do not go near the NYT with an open flame…

I always burn the op ed section first, the front page the only copy I bought of the NYT, simply to have the joy of buring the thing

yeah, especially when the NYT reports on .. real estate, crime, food..

burning.

ok, have you ever read the entire Sunday NYT?

my ex used a newspaper with Hillary’s picture on the bottom of the bird cage

without losing my lunch?

Me? of course not, my time is way to valuable

ah, right.

I am not into self torture

I saw a book called hilary vs condi

how about.. you know, any of it

both of them on the cover scared me

ever, at all?

yes, Timur, i read some of it. even a broken clock is right twice a day, and the NYT is still a liberal rag

ok, so, their coverage of Darfur, or, say, Brazil, or Japan indicates some huge if hidden liberal bias?

hidden?

tiimur heya

or of issues specific to NYC, even or explicit

hey all

whatever hey! ltns happy thanksgiving !

Timur im sorry, i saw you say when they report about food etc.. then my system froze

Timur in certain areas sure, like the NYT pushes pretty much any new Green technology it can find, least they do on their radio clips.

timur just got back from 2nd trip to boston in less than 2 months timur just got back from 2nd trip to boston in less than 2 months

hi sting

timur same to you

did you get my happy v-day message ever

rebec heya

what’d you do up there? ok, sure

hey how an i picking up someones satallite connection hehehe

np

so whatever happened to that moron John Stewart ?

DarthBurg, yes on their radio clips on xm they are envo friendly

timur trying to get niece in hospital bi polar

ny times is very liberal

us male heya

yo STINGRAY`

Timur its like the Bob Edwards show. the guy is considered a nice interviewer, right?

timur hey how amd i pickin up on somebodys sattalite

Hilarious stuff: http://www.theonion.com/content/node/54916

bob edwards is on xm DarthBurg

oh. how’s she doing

better

no idea who that is.

timur brb

Timur, he the interviewer on xm

Timur, oh, well, he only interviews people way left of center.

it’s not about being nice, really, but of quality, depth, breadth of coverage. The job of news.

he has pretty liberal guest

oh, ok.

I mean WAY left of center, Cindy SHeehan has been on twice.

DarthBurg, that correct Timur, he used to be npr

I don’t really listen to political radio. I find it insipid, often, kind of like Crossfire.

Timur what I’m getting at, is I didn’t see what you said hehe

thier no quality Timur

er.. sec.

Timur, hey, thats just how I see print media!

you haven’t seen BBC news, right

bbc news has no quality I have

where, you don’t have a tv

in bbc america and bbc pbs my restruant

ok, then you don’t really.. get what news should be about.

Timur, and I get bbc news

it shouldn’t be a perpetual shill for business only.

world service on xm

BBCPBS thats scary to me

Timur, but it like 10% of the show Timur, so it not bias

yeah, but you get scared easily.

BBCPBSNPR oooooooooooooooooooooo

bussiness news is like 1% of the show

ok, news isn’t called news because it’s just about business. That’s why there’s, you know, business news.

did I say it had to be just bussines snews but it just 1% of the news I would love to hear how the london stockmarket is doing just just the poor 90% or 80%

they have a business segment on every broadcast.

of the time seem one sided

they talk about the London and NY exchanges, primarily, but also Japan, HK and others.

which is the least of the time they spend on yes

uh, no. they devote about the same time to sports.

which compared to thier africa or middle east

or Australia, or South America, or Europe.. etc.

yes sport is spend the same I have bbc on xm it pretty left wing they spend 20 min on some poor

in some ways

lol

hi ocdoc

Woah…

ok, mr broken record.

BBC is left wing?

Timur, face it left of center

hiyaz

Man, you’re kidding

not leftwing but left of center

Timur, GOP has a point, when did you last see a rosy fun loving news item about a CEO?

to an american

Yes, leftwing

sure, but despite that, the coverage is still much, much broader than anything on US tv which was my original point.

Timur, and look at the israsel bias broader Timur, look at bret hume show on fox news on xm

I don’t recall, because I’m not looking for that. I may have seen it and not recall it.

I listen to bret hume on xm

see, there’s not much happening on the tiny island of England, so ….

Timur, he gives everything fair amount of time

I’ll grant you that. They, like all European media, have a huge bias against Israel. no, he doesn’t.

Timur, I listen to his show on xm

he doesn’t cover 90% of world issues.

and I listen to bbc

Timur, don’t bother, the only time the CEO makes the news is when the compnay hits the skids, and gets paid anyway

Timur, no but he covers a litte bit of everything DarthBurg, or they done bad to the poor

no, but he doesn’t. like, most of the world. like, most US cable news.

bret hume is much better the only good news show on tv

than?

cbs, then bbc bret is a true journalist

I like Brit, but he does political news, he does not tell us about the industrial fire in Houston, shep does

yes I like his show

ok, I’m obviously chatting with someone who.. can neither formulate a proper argument, maintain any kind of focus, or understand that most of the world is poor, and even despite that, merits some coverage.

yes I understand

so, nevermind.

we must redcule

I doubt that.

ridcule the argument to this, the world poor that cirucular logic

huh? forget it.

ok

what is so great about “coverage” that even small, poor nations “merit” it?

it all leads to the world is poor

gop knows enough to be amusing

Timur, I am sorry, but why does it all lead to the world is poor

because they have human beings, because we trade with them, have political/military/economic relations, etc.

Brit Hume’s show is not a world news show.

that’s right, which is the point.

what does “coverage” do for them? why is it “merit”

and here I thought I was the only one who thought the media was by and large, a pack of rabib donkeys

What? Are all the BBC shows world news shows?

it lets the viewing audience know what’s going on, which is ostensibly one of the main reasons for watching news.

BBC world news is much more eclectic, ’tis true

rabid donkeys is a pretty good description

Hume covers major world news stories, but his show is about American governance.

it’s only eclectic in comparison to the total crap we have on tv here

well, you could make the argument that some news doesn’t “merit” the attention of the average viewer

rabid breying donkeys with a barrel of ink and no clue

or are you trying to say that the average viewer should take an interest in the price of corn in Zimbabwe?

what about michael richards

sure, like anything relating to OJ, or a month of Natalie Holloway.

who?

or Janet Jackson.

With BBC, you can be mal-informed by perversely biased editorialists on a broader number of events than you would be by watching American news programs.

kramer

or all the celebrity rubbish foisted upon us by said outlets.

bah, thats not news.

right

heh

it was news when trent lott did far less

some joker loses it on a stage in LA? when did that become news. oh thats right, its not.

Wha’ts Michael Richards’ leadership position? And what office does he hold?

uh, it’s really generally pretty good, and since most people have .. zero info about those areas, and have never seen the conditions in them, it’s a good source.

he’s more influential than lott

of course, trent Lott was a democrat turned republican. Robert Byrd has said far far worse, and gets a free pass.

Even that is doubtful, ssss

that’s very sad

Should Michael Richards have to resign his leadership post?

the lib media covers it up when one of their own does it

Oh, wait, he doesn’t fucking have one Oh, shut up This is the most covered “covered up” event in history, possibly

it was buried…

what’s that

It was buried above ground, apparently

lol

they do worse than cover it up, they just neglect to report it. You know who trent lott and Tom Delay are, but do you know who Frank Torricelli and William Jefferson are?

media stars “losing it” in public is interesting to certain segments of the viewing public maybe his career was in the toilet and he did it to get media attention

Richards just let his asshole flag fly

if he had played it off as intentional, he’d be called “Chris Rock”

He tried to, USM

seinfeld used it to sell his dvds lol

ahhh… he must be the wrong color then

unfortuently, Micheals can not do a Chris Rock, as he is to pale

1. It wasn’t funny. 2. It wasn’t thought out–it was spontaneous.

I haven’t heard the uncensored version so I can’t say if it was funny

3. It was an attempt to be radical.

but Chris Rock is funny

is “has left” proper grammar?

4. He knew very quickly he’d bombed with it, and tried to walk it back.

the people Micheals supposedly insulted lawyered up, Gloria Allred.

lots of the audience thought it was funny

5. He tried first the Lenny Bruce rebel angle… 6. Then a George Carlin angle…

i nope they sue seinfeld.. apparently he is richards’ master judging by his letterman appearance

7. But it was clear neither of those was what he was doing when he said it.

I saw that thing on hannity…..ynow…..Gloria is a publicity whore

it’s comedy, sometimes it bombs who cares a comedian bombed. Bug deal

nobody does Carlin like Carlin does Carlin, the fucking hack is so predictable

*big

the seven things you can’t say on tv … “bleep” “bleep” “bleep” “bleep” “bleep” “bleep” and “bleep”

Super Glo Gloria Allred is always on the TV cases.

8. From now on I’m going to enumerate all my posts.

lke I was saying, I haven’t heard the uncensored version so I can’t say if it was funny

I think you’ve beat that one to death

DStewart #1 a fine suggestion

they need to put seinfeld wearing a bucket i mean take ALL his money

OcDoc, yeah, by #8 I had…

it may have been funny

Happy Night Before Thanksgiving!!

USM, it wasn’t funny Not even remotely

Franksgiving.

i give thanks for my Capitalistic Harvest

thankee … same to you

but also, since it’s about racial slurs, were the hecklers calling him names ? If so, what types of names?

“cracker” for one

and all through the house - the hosts and hostesses were sweeping the floors

US-Male the worst name ever dude, they called him “Not Funny”

he wasnt sorry til the video got out.

well without an uncensored version, it’s pretty hard to say als, video would help

it on youtube or should be

yeah

No matter how many times any black person might call me a cracker, I’d never respond by calling him a ni 88 er.

are you sure? Perhaps they called him racial slurs, and he retaliated

why not

Why?

the media is going to be having fits with sites like YouTube offering up hot video. thats the fucking media’s job, don’tchaknow

there’s nothing that I’ve found which wasn’t bleeped out, and that was audio only there’s nothing that I’ve found which wasn’t bleeped out, and that was audio only

Because I don’t think of black people as ni 88 ers.

you, sir, are a racial slur

None of them.

ocdoc thanks for helping my australian friend by the way

jesus christ iraq is an awful hell hole

would you call him a “black piece of shit” ?

it doesn’t matter how you think of people. One racial slur is as bad as another

fraid I didn’t do much …

US-Male haven’t you heard, you can not slander a white man, he is fucking GUILTY

ssss, nope.

OcDoc that’s not what he reported to me lol

have you been there?

ahh yes

US-Male don’t believe me? just ask Mel Gibson

ssss, I’d never make any reference to his race. What’s so hard to comprehend about this?

well, then … glad to be of help!

well, now I don’ think the cops called Gibson a “dirty Christian” or anything

what if he calls you a white devil

What if?

or “fucking honkey” ?

but a heckler might call names. Even possibly racial names

I’d laugh at those, most likely

I prefer “Yankee Infidel”

Darth LOL

gots a nice ring to it

all that fuss over… a word!

and I do not believe

“white devil” btw just makes me laugh

Yanqui

Darth, you white devil

Gringo

I used to make jokes all the time about “white devil”

“white devil”… crap, man…

BillFrugg hey, here is a classic, see if you know the words, “Sticks and stones can break my bones, but Words can never hurt me” boy, have we made some progress THERE

what if he calls you “nigger” first

Racist or foul Language or Spam

I did a pretty decent Farrakan imitation

white devil with a blue dress on?

hahahaha

sticks and stones may break my bones, but call me names and I’ll see you in court

heh

or is that a red dress?

red dress or redress of wrongs

sticks and stones may break my bones, but if you call me names, I will retain legal council.

what did you say, |ssss|?

ocdoc lol

the n word

nanny nanny boo boo

BillFrugg the n word baby

what’s the n word?

fact is, Chris Rock and “crackah ass crackah” is funny ….. I can’t tell you why

how sad

it just is

George B. Thomas Jr., 92, Dies; Wrote Calculus Text

figger it out

nugguh

naugahyde chair

next, you’ll censor out the k word

lol

the fucking K word has been know to kill people on site!

What does everyone think about Michael richards lashing out at the comedy club in LA?

lol

non issue

omg

i thought he was totally justified

haha

everyone doesn’t have an opinion

George B. Thomas Jr., a mathematician whose widely read calculus textbook has introduced legions of students to the challenges of functions, derivatives and integrals since the early 1950s, died on Oct. 31 in State College, Pa. He was 92. Dr. Thomas’s death was confirmed by his family.

yeah… no one is talking about it

don’t say the K word

US_male is muy guapa

what did richards say?

do you think Michael Richard’s tyrade was equal or worse than mel gibson’s little run in?

some loser making an ass of himself on stage is NOT news. regardless of which lawyer the victims retain, in this case, Gloria Allred.

it was even better!

tyrade? is there a video

yep all over the net

Tyrone’s Tyrade

I won’t even go so far as to say he’s a loser, unless someone releases an uncensrored version with video as well as audio

Mel was driving drunk, and pulled over to police, not to split hairs or anything

do you think Michael Richard’s will ever rebound from this or his career pretty finished by this? do you think Michael Richard’s will ever rebound from this or his career pretty finished by this?

richards is lucky to not have gotten a beat-down as blacks seem to be prone to violence

so some “heckler” got offended .. what was the “heckler” saying ?

some black dude said he was gonna smack the next white guy he saw just for his mental health, and its nothing but a thing

what career?

Which K word?

kinky ?

the hecklers were yelling at michael richards that he wasnt funny when he lashed out

you mean richards had a career?

now the hecklers want big money outta richards for emotional damages

one hit wonder if you ask me

to bad the fuckers broke.

or ax me

well emotionally they were damaged…

should the hecklers be awarded large sums of money?

what’s with this “richards” thing, nobody knew his name until last week

fuck no.

he’s Kramer ok

k word rhymes with bike

k i k e ?

I’d ban you for using that

kicycle?

emotional damages… wow!

go fly a kite FedUp1

I don’t buy the idea of verbal damages from a comedy club

!

Michael Richards aka Kramer apologized on Letterman, but the hecklers don’t believe he is doing enough and now they want large settlements.

refund their ticket

night folks

i dont understand why people got up and left i would have been like “wow all this for $5″

I do not buy the idea of being in a comedy club

who cares about Kramer perspective, please, really anyway, happy Thanksgiving!

Timur

a strip club, I can see that, but to go pay to see if some dude is maybe funny or not?

Oc

TImur - happy one to you too

Timur, it’s a plot by Rove

Rove!

Entertainers in the Catskills

some stars blow it

Jerry Seinfeld holds both the record for the “most money refused” according to the Guinness Book of World Records by refusing an offer to continue the show for $5 million per episode, and another record for the Highest Ever Annual Earnings For A TV Actor,[4] while the show itself held the record for the Highest Television Advertising Rates up until 2004, when the final episode of Friends aired.[5]

what a dumbass.. turning down 5mil a show

jerry dont need it

the show was pretty much over by that point

5 mil is like an entire room full of money

in pennies or bills?

in hundreds

either

DANVERS, Massachusetts (AP) — A chemical plant outside Boston blew up Wednesday with a roar so thunderous, people thought it was an earthquake or a plane crash.

thats like a million lbs of aluminum

thats 50,000 $100s

a pound of aluminum or a pound of lead?

a pound of stupid jokes

a pound of BillFrugg

50 of $100s would fit in the trunk of a car not a room

50,000? no

a pound is a pound the world around

not in England…

mind your p’s and q’s

sound as a pound

Kaliuna no its not

Doc — weight factor not money bit

gravity varies across the earth

roger that mass is invariate weight is conditional

right –

depends on your elevation

and your proximity to mountains also centrifugal force near the equator is greater than it is at the poles and the moon and sun tend to pull you away from the center, just like the tides

so it’s not the weight, it’s the mass

BillFrugg got so much mass, it never change!

it’s not the fall that hurts you, it’s the sudden stop

it would hurt me emotionally

so ssssue

US-Male well ya the fall is ok, but stopping no no no

a crippling blow to your ego?

mastodon porn … Ice Age, the Meltdown

US-Male is sexually attracted to Wayne Knight

Doc - ya I picked up the DVD — gonna watch it tomorrow

I don’t want to ruin the ending for you

doc… hehehehe good

Newman!

but you should know, the ice MELTS

and atlantis is revealed underneath

I lived for a couple of years where that movie was filmed

why not just use the stargate?

Doc - well ya ice DOES melt –

BillFrugg no z-pm

doc — cool or should I say — cold?

sigh … nobody bit on my joke

Doc — should we “shoot them”?

nah, it was pretty lame

you completely lost me there was a joke?

oh well — as long as the joke was the only thing that was lame

if israel ever was destroyed what happens to all the jews in new york

a refund?

Bill - n/m

where is an animated movie “filmed”

in a studio…

okay, do you get it yet?

ohhhh the wind tomorrow — could cause problems for macy’s parade — NO NOOOOoooo

the ice dam that busts and floods the world in the movie happened in wester Montana and flooded most of Washington State

okay… what was the film?

I lived in the part of Washinton where the flood happened and formed the Columbia River

is it that penguin movie? I don’t keep up with cartoons…

BillGrugg

noooooooo BillFrugg - this is funnnnny — so was first one… we need laughter, you should try it

first one?

Hello

yaaaaaa — this is the second one I’ll be watching tomorrow

Everybody ready for the Rangel Draft?

won’t happen KALO!! hi hi hi

is that the film with Buzz Lightyear?

yeah i’ll just go to canada

nooooo Bill

Hi Kali…happy thanksgiving Eve

Bill is trolling you now you know

Kalo — U 2 — have fun

Canada is closed no new citizens allowed

Doc - yup trolling trolling trolling — hope he has oars for the boat

I already cooked my turkey and my ham…all prepared for a day of being lazy! :-)

the buzz lightyear comment was tongue and cheek, but i still don’t have a clue what movie

“How I Met Your Mother” has been ribbing Canada pretty hard lately you didn’t even look, since I posted it at the start of the joke

Bill - these ahh prehistoric creaters — not dinosaurs - bit later…

mastadon porn? sorry…

Anyone feeling sorry for Michael Richards?

no

sort of

why?

50 years ago, for a comment like that…

U bet Mel Gibson is glad for Michael…gets him off the hook…sort of

comedy stores have always been bastions of political incorrectness…it’s a laboratory for finding what’s funny in the human experience…many times its the dark side…..you heckle a comedian when they’re performing you might hear words you don’t want to hear

its funny both actooors are Liberal heh Act Tors

what did they tear?

don’t hear that I agree with that language…I’ve done stand up and would never use that language

Hey if you suck you suck

Kalo…why not…Chris Rock does…look where it got him

that’s fine for chris rock

calling the aud names wont make you not suck

i don’t use profanity

how is it fine for Rock and but anyone else this just in….Britney Spears reveals K-Fed is still a virgin….

look, Richards went over a line that I would never go over, but what I think sucks is that they’re taking something from behind closed doors of a comedy store and putting in in the public like its the same…and its not a lot of if not hte vast majority of comics are dark

we don’t hear what happened before, either

yes, what happens at the Comedy Club STAYS at the Comedy Club … sheesh

dark?? Are you making racial remarks?

uh no

bete noir

Know who I feel sorry for??? The guy that had to go on after Richards…now that would suck

lol

heh tuff act to follow

whatever happened to the confidentiality of the comedy club? oh, wait … there never WAS any confidentiality

don rickles used to make fun of everything not a WASP…he never used the n1gg3r as far as I know but he used to run races down all the time

the next guy had a smaller audience

on the other hand, it would be easy to look good after him

good point

Isn’t there a comedy club/performer veil of secrecy?

I hate to say this, but Don Rickles was NEVER funny

US Male…but when he got on stage…the audience was no where to be found

imo insults are part of comedy — where is the line? It’s up to the audience so he bombed

he was from a different time, but the point is…he was never skewered

t-shirts and hockey pucks!

of course, not all comedy involves insults just some

you wanna hear horrible…you should hear comedy roasts

I liked Don Rickles

hmm we can roast comedians but they are kinda tough eating ya know

of course, ted danson went black face 10 years ago and he got skewered

I’m not surprised …

and I still like Chris Rock even though the treatment from the media is not balanced

Ted Danson is a mook

funny is funny

Chris Rock occasionally says something funny

everyone needs to stop using the “N-Bomb”

i’m just saying….like #politics, comedy stores are tough…wear a cup

Very Funny Tenacious D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpmA2I91poI

ehh - it used to be blonde jokes, swedish jokes, ….

if they had been arabs heckling richards…

this is one of the few areas I feel I have authority, I’ve done passive research into the historyof comedy
