itt people confuse censoring with banning. I bet your employer has the power to censor you. I bet NBC's Standards & Practices has the power to censor SNL.

No, censure and censor and ban are all very different things.
― Shart Shaped Box (Phil D.), Friday, 17 June 2011 19:45 (twelve years ago) link
love how morons like CK think that freedom of speech/expression entitles any idiot to a platform on NBC/talk radio/whatever or to not be criticized by the internet.

ugh can't Louis CK just be the "extreme Bill Cosby" in terms of awesome parenting anecdotes and not the "extreme Bill Cosby" in terms of being a rambling crank when he tries to be serious?

haha kinda feel the same about patton oswalt and that shitty book of his that i still haven't read

Let Opie and Anthony or Tracy Morgan do a fucking a podcast and not get paid for it. They can say whatever they want then. Just like the rest of us Americans.

actually he specifically says the opposite:
"Of course you should protest when you hear something you find offensive. You shoudl attack speech that you find deplorable. But not silence it or stand by while it is silenced."
― kind of droll but mostly rad (Kerm), Friday, 17 June 2011 19:49 (twelve years ago) link
not sure how anyone "silenced" Tracy Morgan here.
― lots of janitors have something to say (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 17 June 2011 19:50 (twelve years ago) link
I mean if a network or a club owner wants to silence somebody, fine whatever that's their perogative. I may not agree with them, but they're fronting the money.
x-post Well, a lot of the internet criticism is along the lines of "Fire Tracy" which is valid imo
― President Keyes, Friday, 17 June 2011 19:50 (twelve years ago) link
It's the same shit we do when Glenn Beck says his bullshit and we boycott his sponsors. Free expression on both ends of that.
― President Keyes, Friday, 17 June 2011 19:51 (twelve years ago) link
I think that was in relation to Opie and Anthony getting fired
― chupacabra - a delicious burrito (DJP), Friday, 17 June 2011 19:52 (twelve years ago) link
yeah all part of the game. if your job is telling people things they want to/are interested in hearing, don't be surprised when you get fired for not delivering.
― lots of janitors have something to say (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 17 June 2011 19:52 (twelve years ago) link
opie and anthony can take to twitter. no one's silencing them.
― President Keyes, Friday, 17 June 2011 19:54 (twelve years ago) link
wtf does he think the goal IS when you attack people for profiting from offensive shit?
― da croupier, Friday, 17 June 2011 19:54 (twelve years ago) link
stand-ups are smart
― President Keyes, Friday, 17 June 2011 19:56 (twelve years ago) link
it's just absurd. Hey opie and anthony I think you said some toxic shit...what's that? Your corporate overlords decided you might be not worth the kazillions? WHERE'S MY PLACARD? FREE SPEECH IS MORE IMPORTANT.
― da croupier, Friday, 17 June 2011 19:57 (twelve years ago) link
All problems with offensive entertainers should be quietly mailed to them so they may consider where the line is, lest their employers hear our pleas and engage in censorship.
― da croupier, Friday, 17 June 2011 19:58 (twelve years ago) link
that Opie & Anthony thing happend 4 years ago... they were suspended for 30 days
― kind of droll but mostly rad (Kerm), Friday, 17 June 2011 19:59 (twelve years ago) link
an entertainer getting fired for being vile is not even about free speech. It's like saying that every time a network cancels a tv show for low ratings they're stifling the speech of the show's creator. No--things ain't working out.

Maybe people should write "(no silence)" at the end of sentences that come off kinda censory

Hey did you hear about that Chelsea Lately dude dropping homophobic shit at the Chuckle Hut in Topeka? God what an asshole, fuck that guy. PS if you run Coconuts in Lincoln, NE please do not cancel his booking, no censo.

the way CK left the typos in, are you guys sure it isn't a bit? like he's finished off a carton of ice creamand he's got ice cream on his fingers and the spell-check is telling him it's "fantasy" and he's flipping off thescreen saying, "it's my fantacy! i'll do what i want. you don't scarey me!" then he falls asleep on and hits "send"with his nose.

I think CK is also defending TM since the process in which standup try out new shit is fairly dangerous and Louie knows this kind of thing could quite well bite him on the ass one day. By attacking Morgan, we're moving Louie's safety net. Maybe these guys are starting to believe that a Nashville club that only sit 500 or whatever is the same as their living room.― Darin, Friday, June 17, 2011 2:53 PM (51 minutes ago) Bookmark

this is basically how i interpreted it - its something most comics are gonna be touchy about, especially ones who push limits like louis does - sometimes you dont really see the line until you've crossed it, and he probably finds it very easy to envision himself being in this position one day. maybe he really thinks the things he's said are just as grotesque and he was just lucky to not say them in front of a crowd that would take it to the press

sure okay, but... why don't you do what you do and cross the bridge of offending someone when you come to it rather than jumping up and down with a "HEY I'M OFFENSIVE DON'T MUZZLE ME" neon sign that seems like it would only attract the touchy buzzkills you are trying to avoid?

CK's probably offending people on a weekly basis, so it's less pre-emptive than it seems.
― Philip Nunez, Friday, 17 June 2011 20:13 (twelve years ago) link
There's this part in that comedians show where Chris Rock is cringing on CK's behalf while he drops some N-bombs while Gervais is cackling like a maniac.

because it touches a nerve! its hard to be composed and cool about things you're freaked out about, even if irrationally. just like some people are touchy about not hearing jokes about stabbing your gay son - its the human condition baby (tyrone biggums voice)
