Comedian Louis C.K.‘s new comedy special, Oh My God, premiered on HBO Saturday night. The one-hour special contained funny, often hilarious, material from the industry superstar. As a longtime fan of C.K.’s work, including his hit FX_sitcom, Louie, I eagerly tuned in, only to be profoundly disappointed by what appears to be a slur against gay men.
Early in the segment, C.K.’s (admittedly_dark) humor took a turn towards the offensive. While describing his New York City apartment building, C.K. reflected on the fountain in the courtyard that features “marble boys pissing”:
What is it with fountains? Like, all fountain-sculptors are pedophiles, basically. You can’t get a fountain-made without — ‘Can you make me a fountain?’ [Response in stereotypical gay male's, sexually aroused voice:] ‘Yes, I’ll get started right away! Aaaaggh…AAGGGH, yes!!! YES!!! It’s fi-nished!’ And [the commissioned fountain] is just little boys pissing on the face of a Greek god that looks like him a lot? [again in stereotypical gay male's, sexually aroused voice, while mimicking standing under the fountain's boy]: ‘Ahhh, piss on me forever!!!’
(If one has any technical doubt about whether C.K. was employing a stereotypical gay male’s voice, just listen to the joke preceding this one in which C.K., having spilled some water on his shirt while taking a quick swig, mimicked one: “Oh sh*t. G*d damn it! Idiot. This isn’t a gay voice by the way. It’s NOT! Shut UP!”)
How is this acceptable? Where’s the ‘joke’? Repeated studies have shown there is no proven correlation between gay men and pedophilia. When imitating a pedophile who loves creating statues of little boys, why not use a creepy, even baritone, voice instead? The fact that C.K. has advocated for gay marriage, and spoken of the need to address homophobia, makes his remarks all the more disturbing....

The gun grabbers feed us this crap about only wanting to pass laws to protect us .
The Homosexuals swear that they aren’t pedophiles.
Gun grabbers intend to confiscate our weapons ,and homosexuals are pedophiles.
They can feed society and the ignorant all of the crap they want, but some of us know the truth.
Not a helluva lot we can do about it as their enablers raise a hue and cry and they are given a pass, but we know it.
