Irony on so many levels.

[pilipo]

The “spirit of the thread” has nothing to do with it. The accomplishments of Special Olympians are actually honorable and add immeasurable joy to the lives of the participants.

[Wil H]

If I looked like that, I’d be angry at God too!

[Badeye]

‘But there is funny, and there is insulting. Griffin doesn’t have a clue of the difference.’

Actually, she clearly understands the difference. And she choose to be insulting so as to ingratiate herself with those she requires access to for the majority of her material.

She makes her living mocking the stars, til recently. I suspect she’s decided to ‘expand’.

Its a poor decision, one that will cause her to fade away in the end. You can’t offend 80% of your potential market and not pay a heavy price.

I'd hit it.

With one of those mini bats they used to give out on "free mini bat day".

Being a best-reality-show winner is like medaling at the Special Olympics. You might have won, but you’re still retarded. I have not the words to express my disgust at this statement.

My thoughts exactly. Richinoc's "humour" is on a par with Griffin's.

[pilipo]

Special Olympic contestants show more class than Griffin will ever have.

Isn't that the truth?

She played herself in that annoying role on Seinfeld — hardly an act — she is her OWN reality show

Hammer . . meet nail.

[diamond6]

What was the audience’s reaction?

[Liberty Valance]

Bump!

[pilipo]

Agreed, though I take no pleasure in that.

[SampleMan]

Your always safe slapping someone who is taught to turn the other cheek.

Indeed, if they called Mohamed a dog to be funny, they would then live a life of constant fear.

1 - Who watches the Emmys?
2 - Who cares what she says?
3 - If you actually ever listened to Carol Burnett and Bob Hope in a club, in their day, you’d know they said much worse things (I don’t know anything about Red Skelton)
4 - Learn to take a joke, next thing you know you’ll be strapping bombs to your wives and children.

[Noumenon]

All of my horses are better-looking. From either end.

[DogandPonyShow]

I am not really offended. It was a joke. She is known for those kind of things. It is just part of her shtick.

[Boiler Plate]

As they say
"UGLY is through and through."

[wearearepublic]

As Jesus said in John 3:3, be born again or go to hell.

[The Duke]

Obviously she thinks she’s going to impress somebody with such comments. Maybe she’s playing to the “Satan crowd”?

[pepsi_junkie]

Being a best-reality-show winner is like medaling at the Special Olympics. You might have won, but you’re still retarded.

Making fun of retarded kids isn't the best way to make a point about how ignorant a comedian is for making fun of religion.

[chiefqc]

You forgot old and ugly.

[Chanticleer]

Well, being no youngster myself, and having never won a beauty contest, I'm hesitant to say.

But you go right ahead! :-)
