The land that brought us George Galloway is lecturing US on bad taste?

I'm surprised libs were shocked. The murderer loving crowd being aghast at Oliver Stone? Its really weird.

Typical liberal. If you screw up, it must be 'their' fault. 'They' were obviously too unintelligent to get the nuances of the joke. What an arrogant ass.

He probably thought they were all part of a conspiracy to hide the fact that Prince Harry is really behind the murders...

Murder jokes = booing.

Racial jokes = booing, Al Sharpton, and 6-figure settlement.

I remember watching the Johnny Carson show one night back in the '70s, where Joan Rivers was doing a standup routine. She had the audience absolutely roaring with laughter, until the point where she said, "I'm so ugly that when I was born my mother took one look at me and demanded an abortion." A dead, stony silence immediately ensued.

After it bombed he should have done a Rodney Dangerfield impersonation:

"I tell ya when I was a kid, all I knew was rejection. My yo-yo, it never came back!

I’m not a sexy guy. I went to a hooker. I dropped my pants. She dropped her price.

My wife and I were happy for twenty years. Then we met.

I could tell that my parents hated me. My bath toys were a toaster and a radio.

I was such an ugly kid ... when I played in the sandbox the cat kept covering me up.

I went to the doctor because I'd swallowed a bottle of sleeping pills. My doctor told me to have a few drinks and get some rest."

"To make a joke like that when five young women have been murdered and the killer is still on the loose was in unbelievably bad taste."

This is SOP for the left. First they pass laws making their citizenry totally helpless against assault -- denying them firearms ownership and right-to-carry, attempting to outlaw even kitchen knives and sending to prison those who defend themselves against home invasion. Murderers are coddled, given light sentences, counseling and never the execution they merit.

Predictably, violent criminals now see a golden opportunity to take whatever they want and kill whomever they please with little or no risk. Just as predictably, these 5 girls wind up dead. And how does the left respond to this sorry state of affairs that they themselves created? They respond with exaggerated moral indignation that anybody could crack a joke about these five hapless victims, the same ones that they themselves set up for the slaughter!

I'm getting sick of having to apologize to the British about our liberal nutjobs. They need to learn to simply deny them entry. If they'll do us the courtesy of letting us know they're trying to get back into the US, we could do the same and solve a problem for both nations.

In the mean time, "Sorry Fellahs"... We can't control them as our law prevents us from taking "reasonable measures" with these idiots.

We can't even convince Alex Baldwin to move to France after he promised us he'd leave. *sigh*

Oliver Stone, J. F'n Kerry.....I just love when they slip and the true way they think comes to light. Too bad their acolytes are too dumb to realize it.

Technically, he's not 'Still on the loose,' as the audience member said, since whoever the Ripper was, he's almost certainly been dead for decades. Still, Stone's joke was done in incredibly bad taste, and didn't even make much sense. It's good that the audience didn't take his crap.

If only he would have insulted President Bush he'd have been cheered instead of jeered.

It was a bad tasteless joke and to go on about "libs not having a sense of humor" or it's Britain's fault for their gun laws etc, is ridiculous. I don't think anyone here would be cracking jokes about the Atlantic City murders or any other recent murder case where the killer is still on the loose.

Stone is a movie director whose career is barely treading water. His last two films (World Trade Center and Alexander) grossed just enough, world wide, to recover their production costs and I'm not sure if that includes the advertising costs.
In other words, Stones financial backers may have made a bit of a return, but not enough to justify the risks taken.
Basically, the passions that animated his early success were based on his Vietnam experience and adoration of JFK. Those events are now an inspirational empty well and he is now older and less energetic and, from what I hear, has developed an excessive fondness for cocaine and teenage fashion models.
He better pick his next project with care. While the jury is still out, I think he is about one movie bomb short of being washed up in Hollywood.
