She is an "insult comic" in the tradition of Don Rickles. She is the most foul mouthed, fattest, crankiest, bigot, female comic in the public eye. She cannot be censured. But I can't understand how she is gaining fame and fortune because all the misguided people choose to go to her shows in droves and subject themselves to the same old racist jokes and minority stereotypes. I can't understand why people pay her to be insulted. Some traditions should die. Don't we get enough of that in our own lives? Insult comics like Don Rickles came from a generation where it was okay to be a bigot. I thought we've come a long way from there. But this time around, it's all the minority groups that arehow old is don rickles championing her racist beliefs and humor. She is like a yeast infection. You keep scratching it, but she won't go away!
no.
if you don't like it, boycott. where would you begin to draw the line? racism is the new sex in comedy. you'd have to start censuring everyone who makes a racist joke. what about carlos mencia? chris rock? anyone who MENTIONS race generalizations would be up for censur. that's not the country i want to live in.
and thanks for the yeast infection reference.
EDIT: you thumbs downed everyone....i guess you just wanted people to agree with you. okay....you're RIGHT. the government SHOULD be able to censur Lisa Lampanelli. how old is don rickles You're a genius for thinking of it. The world will be a better place now. THANK YOU.
I don't think she should be censured. It's just ridiculous that people willingly pay money to be entertained. Yet if she was a person on the street shouting racist obscenities, she'd just be a nut. However, she's probably the only comedian with a fan base that includes the KKK and Skinheads.
just don't listen to her, i don't listen to the people i find offensive
That's what's great about America.
If you don't like someone, you don't have to watch them.
