Jerry Lewis should have claimed he had a TIA on stage the other night when he said "illiterate faggot". He is 81 you know...maybe he just had a mind slip? Anyway, he apologized today and said what he meant to say was "buck toothed ass-banging queer", thusly avoiding the "F" word which got another actor in trouble this year. If people would have been paying attention, there might have also been a racial slur involved as the person he was making fun of was named "Jesse". I don't know about you - but when I read "Jesse, the illiterate faggot..." Jesse Jackson's picture springs to mind. That's probably because of his Rainbow Coalition association as I get all those Coalitions mixed up and I figure the gay community would like all those pinks and pastels in the rainbow spectrum. Then I say something like "spectrum", which rhymes with "rectum"......oh, you get the picture......

Jerry Lewis Has TIA Onstage

This cracks me up. I ran across this story in between surfing for a running chainsaw ringtone for my phone and making my football pool picks this afternoon. I just knew Still A. Fan would have something enlightening to say about it.
Faggot is the new F word but in the story by ever politically correct MSNBC, it was "f-----" which I took to be the letter F followed by the letters UCKE and R in that exact order.
Therein lies the crux of this dilema. Just exactly who did this Jesse f----- f---? If it is of the same gender as he, then he is indeed a F-----. But if it is of the opposite gender then he instead is just a plain f----- like the rest of us.
This is another example of the stupidity of Americans. I never did care for Jerry Lewis and his stupid brand of comedy. He does help some people (I suppose) with the money the suckers pledge in to his telethon. Mostly Jerry and his buddies moreso than MS victims. But alas, 'tis the nature of the fundraiser-for-charity to line thine own pockets first.
But here we got an 81 year old man who doesn't know the difference between a faggot, a queer, a gay, a fudgepacker, a carpet-muncher or an alternative lifestyler. Leave the man die in peace... and let him take Don Imus with him if it makes anybody feel any better.
chris rock has a bit where he tears into jerry lewis and the MDA. and since mrs fan used to work for them and couldnt STAND them...she has some wonderful insight. anyway - rock's routine is that jerry has raised over a billion dollars and hasnt cured 1 kid. not 1. not 1 kid, jerry? 1 billion dollars and you ain't cured shit!
it is funny! its on one of the HBO specials...all of which are brilliant. when i do my slanted list of standup comedians...rock will be near the top.
"NEVER AGAIN"
Words that I’m sure push buttons for Mr. Jerry Lewis. Now hear it in a new context Mr. Lewis: Never again will I donate to your organization. Admissions of poor choice of words and after-the-fact apologies just don’t cut it anymore. Maybe I’m being too sensitive. Well, when I have the same rights as everyone else in this country (i.e. marriage, military & many many more) PERHAPS I will be less sensitive. I’m tired of being the butt (pardon the pun) of the jokes from Leno to Maher- and I don’t care how much they say they aren’t “really” homophobic.

tell it like it is, frank. wow. cool idea for pictures. if still a dog or still a dad reads this - i bet he'd enjoy seeing that ice cream ad on the building over by bud's. i remember video taping that while van halen's "ice cream man" was playing in the background for that video i made when i moved to "the big city" to show my co-workers.
jerry is indeed a tool.
I am gross and perverted.
I am obsessed and deranged.
I have existed for years,
But very little has changed.
I'm the tool of the government,
And industry too.
For I am destined to rule,
And regulate you.
I may be vile and pernicious,
But you can't look away.
I make you think I'm delicious,
With the stuff that I say.
I'm the best you can get.
Have you guessed me yet?
I'm the Jerry Lewis Telethon
Oozing out from your TV set!
I call some people faggots,
'Cause they can't take a joke.
It makes them feel like a maggot,
In the ass they will poke.
Can't say nigger or faggot,
But whore is OK.
What words are we now,
Permitted to say?
Ho, you can't say it,
Nappy headed or not.
But "Beaner" is fine,
In Home Depot's parking lot.
So say what you mean.
And mean what you say.
Use the full complete language,
Each and every day.
-Frank Zappa & Still A. Dog
