stop it you'll have el jefe in tears for all the dead unborn gay babies.
 
So tell me did you take offence for all gay people when you heard Ms Silverman repeatedly use the term gay in a pejorative manner, did you feel a deep sense of pain and solidarity with the gay community in the face of this unthinking bigotry?

This.

Since encountering her in the webosphere I've concluded that Ms. Silverman is a spiteful, malicious, evil-minded bag of shit, who uses her gender as a cover. She's the epitome of the office bully who has a go at the office's designated scapegoat, and then lies and says she's only joking.

She's a fucking cunt.

well see I think she is a comic genius, however if I thought the use of gay as a pejorative in any context was inherently homophobic I'd probably share your opinion, which begs the question as to how El Jefe can like her soo much considering all the anger and angst he displayed on the other thread about the pejorative use of the term gay.
 
You know, every time I reread that Penny Arcade cartoon, it gets better and better.
 
it's a fucking mystery is what it is.

Well I used to think it was a great mystery, but then I realised the answer might just be that you are a full of shit hypocritical cunt who in rushing to the moral high ground on the other thread didn't think about the positions he'd have to surrender to reach it.

Oh deary me, pious prick undoes himself.
 
May I be the first to point out the fucking obvious - a comedian using the word 'gay' to deliberately cause offence is not the same as some internet numbnuts repeatedly claiming that it only means 'lame' in some contexts

but she doesn't use 'gay' in that context, she uses plenty of other words like faggotry and the like for that, her use of gay is pretty straight forward "this is a bit lame and awkward" with no more tongue in cheek than it coming from your average non homophobe.
 
El Jefe thought it wrong for even gay people to use the term gay as a pejorative, even though quite obviously the use of it in such a context is shot through with more irony than anything Silverman could muster.
 
Sorry just to make it clear, is the difference because she is a professional "comedian" or is the apparent difference that she uses it with an obvious sense of irony?

Like I said a gay or obviously anti homophobic straight person using the term gay in such a manner is obviously doing it with a large degree of irony and self awareness to, are they not?
 
"Do you ever take drugs so that you can have sex without crying?" - that line has been making me lol all morning.

It would do if it wasn't a sentiment and approach that has been used by countless comediens before.

Being a JAP doesn't suddenly make the concept original.
 
there is nothing original in modern comedy, its all about how you do it.

And Ms Silverman does it very well
I don't really agree, to be honest. On either front.

And I don't think she's crap or anything, just nothing special. I gave her about 15 minutes, thought "oh" and turned it off.
 
I tried to watch this on ctch-up but after watching an hour of omar limping around shooting people I wasn't in the mood
