So; going back to the Olympics Opening Ceremony/Rob Schneider Tweet, but from a different angle.

I've lost a lot of respect for Rob. Aren't comedians supposed to defenders of the Freedom of Speech? I guess I prefer comedians who are more offensive and less offended. That's one group of people that I would have expected to defend things like that. In fact, it's just not Schneider. If I see any comedian tweet about being offended or boycotting something I'm just gonna stop watching their shows, their HBO/Netflix specials ect ect.

That's completely different though... he was getting paid to compromise his morals!

It's not like he was getting paid to watch other people compromise their morals.

In any case trans people and the whole diversity rainbow earned with blood the right to mock the catholic church.
I dont see a world where this **** does not back fire for catholics.



I like Bill Burr's take on the church> That the catholic church has sort of lost the high ground for basically ever and ever.

"they were sort of moving around those priests like Sea World does after an orca kills a trainer" LOL

in reference to Rob: I guess once you have done something you're not allowed to change your views.

Overall with regards to the wider Christianity aspect there's a ton of nuance that I don't have the mental capability to go into or even to start looking up. Let's be honest even if i was able to do that it still wouldn't change anyone views.

That was actually my **** up, sorry, I didn't intend the connection to read that way, I was posting something stupid while on a work call and didn't proofread my post. That was pretty dumb of me. I don't want to delete the original post (because we're talking about it), but let me just disavow it.

The joke was either going to be in the form of: I don't know what the church's complaint is. e.g.: they don't have a leg to stand on.

or, the joke was going to be: I don't think gay men should be acting like the church treats them badly.

They are both bad jokes, but the combination is a lot worse.

No I do not think my final post is appropriate. My apologies. (yes, both of the above jokes are also inappropriate, but the combination is worse, albeit not what I had in my mind).

I was 100% sure DJ was joking with that post. I think it’s a decent joke cuz it’s such a horrible statement


Like I could totally picture Mark Normand making that kind of joke in one of his sets

Metacritic classifies Berlin Syndrome as a Drama/Horror/Mystery/Thriller lol. There are zero elements of horror or Mystery. It's 100% a Thriller and that's it.

I would say it's a good movie, not great. I don't think I can recommend 'good' movies anymore cuz who wants to spend two hours with a "yeah, that was fine" experience? I think I'm only gonna recommend great movies cuz i don't want to let anyone down.

I both liked it and disliked it. Lots of Aussie girl Teresa Palmer nudity and a good sex scene, so that really helps.

She was supposed to be in Fury Road but had a scheduling conflict. She likely would have been cast as one of the breeders which would have been perfect for her. But in the end, I love the breeders they went with ... except for Splendid.... and probably Zoe Kravitz too cuz she's way too recognizable

Squid Game is returning to Netflix for Season 2 on December 26 – a dystopian treat just after Christmas – and the streamer has revealed that its biggest ever show will conclude with its third season.

I'm just not happy with the punchline, because I didn't consider the inference that I was suggesting that gay men would be in favor of the church's attempts to hide pedophilia. That wasn't in my mind when I posted it, and I don't believe it (irl).

Hence the immediate retraction.

When you make a living being offensive and standing behind the 1st Amendment when people are outraged it looks completely out or character when you step on the other side and join the outrage culture. It makes me question their integrity, their intentions and dedication to the 1st.

Don't forget; Rob has recently found himself in hot water after a couple of flubbed performances in front of political audiences and has found himself disenfranchised with the left and the right. This could all be performance art intended to re-ingratiate himself with the conservative populace.

DJ, No one would ever take that inference from what you wrote

It’s really a solid joke and has layers to it (which my favourite jokes tend to do). You also delivered it so plainly and dry that Cucho thought you were serious which makes it even better


——-

On the Rob thing, he’s obviously allowed to change his mind and find Jesus. He just can’t assume he has any credibility at all if he’s going to take a stance on something like this as a public figure. He can be offended, nothing wrong with that. He just looks like a moron if he speaks up about it and thinks his voice has any impact at all lol.

----

movies this weekend:

Trap opens tomorrow (M. Night Shymalabnan's latest) and there are no advance reviews which usually is a very bad sign.


Much more interesting, there's a documentary coming out tomorrow that I think will peak the interest of lots of people here. it's called WAR GAME and check this out:

Quote:
In this documentary from Full Battle Rattle directors Tony Gerber and Jesse Moss, a bipartisan group of U.S. defense, intelligence, and elected policymakers covering five presidential administrations take part in a role-playing exercise in which they have six hours to save American democracy from a political coup backed by rogue members of the American military. The simulation escalates the threat of January 6, 2021 and tests the ability of those in power to respond.

Meh... Cucho did, or at least said he did. Fwiw, I wouldn't want to be within a million miles of that suggestion, and have plenty of close friends who'd be deeply disturbed to think I actually believed stuff like that. So, it doesn't hurt to clarify that that wasn't my intent, even if the OP reads that way.

Does that also apply to former spokes people for Tabaco companies who later became anti-smoking spokes people?

Honestly, those people are the worst kind of people.

"oh... I found tobacco Jesus, and I converted..."

Yeah, **** right, lol. You were terrible before, you compromised your morals completely to work for the devil, and you definitely knew what you were doing. Then you figured out how to make money doing the opposite thing, and you are resting on your insider expertise to propel yourself to public relevance.

Those people are hypocritical prostitutes, and I have more respect for actual prostitutes than I will ever have for them.

I'm just wondering where the line in the sand is or if there is one.

EDIT: Is it issue dependent? or the person who is doing it that matters or is it both? Or is it some other aspect?

To me it matters if its addressed as a mistake, everyone is allowed to make mistakes.
