Have we not had a discussion about this? I'm surprised.

Seedy, sordid, unfunny little men pad obscene amounts of money to be obscene.

What's your view?

Sorry Aitchtwooh - I was typing mine out when yours must have come up!

Why is it sexist? What about Sarah Silverman's EMMY award winning vid about fucking Matt Damon? No one calls that sexist. I've had her too, btw. Nice.

Can't quite believe that this is the behaviour of a 47 year old and a 33 year old.

Oh, I meant littlelapin!!

MATT DAMON WAS STANDING BESIDE HER... you idiot. that's why it's different, vastly so.

I'm afraid this is top gear syndrome.

[gawd, I'm getting old, I keep hankering after the Good Old Days when feminism wasn't a dirty word...]

What's age got to do with it? What about tampon -seeking Prince Charlie et al? Age is immaterial to humour and sex. I would have had Charlie but he was disappointingly disfunctional in the erectile department.

dysfunctional. Re Matt Damon, the point is it's ok for women to joke about having men but not vv.

"Why is it sexist?"

der. der. der. der.

might be fact that M Damon has consented to his name being used? Might be familiar comedic device of reversing usual social realities to amusing effect? Might be that the rest of the fucking world isn't doing the same thing?

"Nice". Arse.

not to mention the fact that jimmy kimmel found it funny. had he been hurt and ashamed it might well have been different.

Sorry, but what are you talking about? What has Prince Charles got to do with anything?

Yes, nice arse. Tits not bad either.

Ok, AS knew about it. It was all planned. Publicity for all of them. Everybody happy. Vide?

I saw Sarah Silverman on JR. It wasn't funny, in fact it bombed excruciatingly.

i thought she was fantastic, purits.

Yeah she got slagged off a bit for her London show too. Although, I think people who were there said it wasn't as bad as it was reported in the papers. Imagine that eh? The papers making a mountain out of a molehill!

I was pulling my punches with 'der'. I have now resolved to adopt 'derbrain' as my response to derbrained posts. Hullygully, you are a derbrain.

For crying out fucking loud - you can't see the difference between comedy that trashes social mores but - crucially - has no victims; and comedy which makes a young woman the laughing stock of a world which still believes that it is wrong for a woman to have sex outside of a committed relationship?

She's been humiliated, for something that shouldn't be considered humiliating, but is. It's all wrong.

How has she been humiliated?

Funnily enough, Sarah Silverman was actually interviewed by Russell Brand on his radio show a few weeks ago. She couldn't understand his accent I recall.

SS didn't bomb - JR's excruciating light-entertainment i/v of her did.

She was very funny. He was very anxious.

And - in the light of recent events - anxious with good reason.

Sorry, I meant, how has she been humiliated, double derbrain twice whatever you said etc
