I still don't get why it was ok for Joan Rivers to be a bigot make racist jokes though.

Joan Rivers was Joan Rivers. She was a trailblazing female comedian, and was offensive as an intended part of her comedy (which is not everyone's cup of tea, I get that).

Giuliana Rancic? Not so much.

Yeah, a show last night said the exact same thing. They also pointed out that she was one of the first for self-deprecating humor. So, Joan went after everyone, including herself. 

The fact Giuliana recorded the now infamous comment 3x drives me crazy. She was obviously trying to be feisty and failed.

This was pretty much the only thing keeping her relevant-ish.

I wonder if she has something else in the works or was already considering it?

There was a blindgossip entry about this recently but it's not on the site anymore. Hrm.

Joan Rivers earned that shit.

Giuliana fucking Rancic is nobody, and doesn't have the comedy capital to spend on this.

Fuck that. Nobody earns that shit. No.

Seriously! That is some BS.

How does one "earn that shit"?

So comedy as a profession should just go away then? Or do we only get to watch "clean" comics?

Cause if so I'm fucked, given that I love Louis CK. Sarah Silverman, Shitney Cummings and Bill Burr...

Also, whether you appreciated Joan's comedy or not, she is the , she was still a trailblazer.r

Yes, because a comedy routine and rape are on the same level.

you can't be serious.

Anyway, if you dumb dumbs can stop being dumb for two seconds, I'd like to remind you that Joan got PLENTY of backlash for her comedy. So thankfully you can just stop talking altogether because you are hurting the rest of our feelings in here.

Please tell me jax's dumbfuck basic ass did not try to imply saying Joan gets a pass for offensive humor is the same as giving Cosby a pass for being a three decade long serial rapist.

nah. she did.

what a stupid mother fucking thing to say. GOD. she's going on the list with her "lol."

[flutermed]

I haven't watched the show since Joan passed. She was a great comedienne. I am pissed that someone would call her a racist. She worked hard as a woman in a man's world at the time and knew the struggle of being in a minority. Is that a good enough explanation for her "pass"?
