Go back to the Friar's Club Cos, your time has passed.

I liked Tiny Tim!

[A Navy Vet]

His time may have passed, but he still has good taste.

Bill Cosby is a racist, and Ozzy is a brain damaged has been.

[Feiny]

I used to laugh at Tiny Tim whenever he was on the Stern show. He was very funny. Cosby hasn't been funny in decades.

[weegee]

Everybody laughed at Tiny Tim:

BTW, by an odd coincidence, I bought my first Tiny Tim record today (and the jacket was autographed).

Ozzy and his wife know that people are laughing at their antics. If anything, he's set himself as the barker for his own carnival sideshow.

Laughing at the way Bob Dylan speaks is more akin to laughing at this Tiny Tim:

I wonder if Bill Cosby spoke out against the fake article about Bob Hope from the Onion.

[weegee]

Ozzy's dain bramage was self-inflicted. Maybe kids watching the show will see what a life of living to excess can (not necessarily will) cause to a person's health.

Way to go Cos!

Cosby is a class act and sometimes is seen at UCLA's track. Stay cool bro!

Bill Cosby is right. What he is in essence saying is the folowing : Ozzy Osbourne and his family , like this country , need God . To watch and glorify the Osbournes is like purposefully watching a poisoned sick puppy slowly die and choke on his own vomit . To hear President Bush glorify the Osbournes at the White House Correspondents association dinner was doubley sad , insane and shameful of a U.S. President .

How would those who do so feel if Ozzy went the way of others like him ,and died one day of a drug overdose , or one in his family , or several ? If any oppose what is said here , so be it . Eternal wisdom is eternal , cannot be opposed , and you only defeat yourself .

" There is a way that seemeth right unto a man , but it's end thereof are ways of death . " -From the Old Testament . Church Of Christ , voa-davidk 6/19/02

Cosby also gave in to pressure from the rioting, racist punks in Cincinnati and cancelled his performance.

His past substance abuse is only a part of it (I am not even aware if he still drinks). Ozzy and Sharon have aged in a rock & roll lifestyle but the question remains, how much have they grown up?

Ozzy does have interest in his kids lives but there still is some impression that he's trying to be their "cool friend" maybe more than their dad.

One of the daughters has refused to participate in the program.

The hostile housing situations that MTV has been crafting on "The Real World" are far worse. There are people who have serious mental issues who are thrown into rooming with strangers for a tv show. The pressure seems to be there to "cut loose" and party hard or hook up with one or more of the roommates. One woman was a chronic alcoholic and almost died in a season opener. Another woman had mental problems from a tick bite. And so on.

It may appear that they are trying for "slice of life" but the producers seem to be trying for trysts and conflicts to keep things "interesting".

[Old Fud]

Bill Cosby is a racist, and Ozzy is a brain damaged has been.

I think you got it just about right, Joe. The fact that either of these knuckleheads have some sort of sway is proof positive that our country is hopelessly intoxicated by the celebrity/ruling class.

And stopped being even FUN -- at the end of "I Spy!"

[Now, that, was fun!]

I met Bill Cosby numerous times at Edwards Stadium in 1987, where he worked out in the mornings while filming a movie called "Ghost Dads" in Berkeley, California. After a couple of weeks of chatting with him, Cosby asked the Black kids on our team to come to his car; he opened the trunk and gave them free addidas spikes (racing shoes). White, Asian, and Hispanic kids were out of luck. While I enjoyed Cosby's show and it was nice of him to spend time with us, I continue to resent his racially discriminatory actions that day.

[Tourist Guy]

I've got a Cosby story for you:
Back in the early 70's my (white) niece and nephew were at LAX waiting with thier parents for a flight to arrive. Cosby scooped them up, one in each arm, and started carrying them around, I guess he was just goofing off. Mind you these two looked like Norman Rockwell models but...

They had no idea who this guy was, and they started screaming "Daddy! Mommy! Some N*gr is kidnapping us!!! HELP!!!
My niece even bit him, and my nephew was punching him as hard as an 8-year old could.

Needless to say he put them down and apologized to my sister and brother-in-law. The whole story is quite amazing, and he probably hasn't liked white kids since

[Quix]

AGREED. . . EXCEPT . . .

IF Cosby's time has passed, it is a sad commentary on our values and not on him.

[RWG]

What about his family? His wife blames 'racist' America for the death of her son. This is good taste?

[ravinson]

And stopped being even FUN -- at the end of "I Spy!"

I liked that show after that where he was the basketball coach -- especially the theme song:

"Whooo Lord, gonna get some maggots, and some rolls, and some reesin risin hah hah hah..."

Da dun da, dun da dun da da dun dah,
Da dun da, dun da dun da da duuuumb...

That was the peak of his career as far as I was concerned.

[Servant of the Nine]

His time may have passed, but he still has good taste.

Cosby's personal life has been a lot more unsavory than Osborune's.
