(disclaimer: assuming the question is real and not humorous rhetoric)

Borat is a culturally insensitive caricature. Bruno is an over-the-top flamboyant gay stereotype. Etc.

SBC is decidedly not Kazakhstani nor is he a gay man. The pitchforks have yet to seek him out, somehow. I expect people identify him as progressive and stridently anti-conservative, so he gets a pass (for now).

In 2020, you can't get away with these types of satirical tropes and it's becoming increasingly intolerable for actors to portray something they are not.

Well it sucks when it ends up ruining movies or shows you like.

Other then that, I don't care about famous people either.

Lol.
Donny did that. All he had to do was a follow up statement.

Probably, but as Pat mentionned, it's probably for the best.

Honestly the one show that got ruined that I was watching was House of Cards.

I know Spacey still denies everything but you kinda understand why they did it.

Don's time had past... I think he would have rather left on his own terms but him being canceled was long overdue..

On the one hand, I felt that the punishment did not fit the crime.

But I used to love Don Cherry, so I was glad they plucked him off the air before he did something to really, really, really destroy his reputation and legacy.

I dont think so, maybe some would but not as bad as you may think.
I mean actors still portray racist characters, pedophiles, rapist etc. The N word is still said in many movies. This still goes on, no one says boo.
Problem is everybody and their mom want equality for everything....which is great.
But then people take it too far. Gotta have a transgender actor portray a transgender character....grrr give the transgender actor roles as well. Gotta have autistic actors portray autistic characters, give them roles as well. Which again is fine, but those same people who freak out about the above would also freak out if Hollywood only gave racist, nazi or sexual abusive actors the racist, nazi, sexually abusive roles.

Its acting people, its a business.

- Fakepartofme


I think you're underestimating how stupid people are and how much they look for things to be offended about.

Hell, people have had to quit doing voice acting for characters if they're not the same skin colour or gender. It's dumb.

I used to like Cherry too back in the day, when he cheered for players like Clark and Gilmour

This may be a shot in the dark, but have any of you guys seen my headphones?

I've looked throughout the house, and can't find them.

2 hour staff meeting this afternoon - I really need the damned bluetooth headphones so I can wander.

Even worse. Have been looking for two days for car fob. Have no idea about first. Finally went out to car looked around, nope. On a hunch, tried to start it and it started. Looked everywhere in car and still can’t find. Good news/bad news kind of deal.

It’s gone way too far. My Trump University degree is practically worthless. Well, not really worthless since I paid $95,000 for it but still people are way too sensitive.

I have grown to hate the ignitionless key system.

My wife regularly throws her keys in the centre console, and then forgets to remove them when she gets out of the car.

Seriously, what was wrong with the old system?

Have you tried applying to the Trump Steak Company?

They may be hiring.

Or maybe not.

So is that the one where you have a key, but no ignition? Yeah, I would hate that also.

I thought acting was about pretending to be someone else? Guess movies, in general, will be next to go on the cancel list.

Humans had a pretty good run.

And suddenly it's day again.
The sun is in the east
Even though the day is done.
Two suns in the sunset
Hmm

If you can start the car and can't find the fob anywhere, the only plausible explanation is that it is still stuck up your ass. You're welcome.

Totally agree. What was wrong with just turning the key?

Check the exterior windshield.

I knew someone that lost there fob for a year. Cleaned out the car completely and the car would always start. Found it beside the wipers.
