Louis C.K., the comedian who has been working on new stand-up material since allegations of inappropriate behavior with several women surfaced earlier this year, faces new criticism after he could be heard mocking survivors of the Parkland shooting during a set from earlier this month, TMZ reported.
The 51-year-old comedian could be heard in the leaked audio poking fun at the younger generation as "boring" and politically correct.
He said in today's world, it's the kids who tell the adults what is appropriate to say. C.K. responds to the guidance by saying, "F*** you, you're a child."
The comedian raised eyebrows during a Dec. 16 show when he asked the audience why surviving a shooting makes someone worthy of attention, the report said.
"I don't know. They testified in front of Congress, these kids," Louis C.K. says. "Like, what the f***. What are you doing? You're young. You should be crazy. You should be unhinged, not in a suit saying, ‘I’m here to tell’… f*** you. You’re not interesting cause you went to a high school where kids got shot. Why does that mean I have to listen to you? How does that make you interesting? You didn’t get shot. You pushed some fat kid in the way and now I got to listen to you talk?”

Fox is posting Fake News.
I read this earlier. A different thread from another link. Correct me if I’m wrong but he is not making fun of survivors.
Just that Pigg punk.
And I’m OK with that.

He’s mocking the political operatives that came out of the tragedy.
Louis is not wrong. I just have a hard time not picturing him whipping it out in front of unsuspecting female office guests. It’s just so off and abnormal that I am not interested in his comedy. If Jerry Seinfeld had done that to women a bunch of times, I’d probably not watch him, either. That whole thing about “I don’t csre what you do in the privacy of your bedroom” is real. We don’t care, IF YOU KEEP IT IN YOUR BEDROOM.
A survivor is anyone who went to the same school, or wasn’t even at school the day of the shooting. Could it also be someone in a different school, or someone who doesn’t even go to school?
I would agree.
Teens don’t know squat and have no business telling anyone anything.
Who is “prisoner 18-1958”?
I’m OK with it, too. I’m enjoying his (C.K.’s) comments.
Recall in the weeks prior to the shooting, there was much discussion about what could be done to discourage kids such as these from eating laundry soap.
Afterwards, they somehow became Oracles of Victim Disarmament.
See if you can figure it out based on context.
It’s really not that hard.
Exactly. I guess some people are too stupid to figure it out...or just perpetually outraged.
The shooter from Parkland
Sorry about that. I did do a quick search on “louisck” and these didn’t show up.
Why?
Does no one know the actual answer? Or how it came to be that this meme includes the reference?
Must we speculate? Must we....cogitate?
Must we....on second thought, never mind.
I’ll just ignore it.

Well he’s right. There’s no reason to pay any attention to half the people whose every blog-thought gets posted of FR daily either.
