Rock cannot speak a line without an obscenity. To have been made to do so must have left him virtually speechless and he had to resort to asinine and lame political jokes about Bush. Whatta disaster! Old George Eastman must be spinning in his grave knowing of the immoral indecencies characterized by the Hollyweirds being given awards in the Kodak Theater.

Oddly enough, one of the reasons cited for the thumbs-down on Williams' song (written by the "South Park" guy who writes the songs) was that it "made fun of Native Americans". Apparently, while making fun of every other cartoon, Pocahontas is off limits.

It's not enough for these folks to be wealthy (read "overpaid") and famous; they have to have the adulation of the masses at a special awards ceremony. Really! I refuse to participate.

Wow! Think I'm officially a curmudgeon and proud of it.

Comedian Robin Williams said it all when he walked on stage with a piece of white tape over his mouth.

Okay, if I'd known that was going to happen, I might have watched.

Chris Rock, the edgy black comedian

"Edgy....""Edgy....""Edgy....""Edgy....""Edgy....""Edgy....""Edgy....""Edgy....""Edgy...."

Did Hollywood give these lazy reporters talking points? Cliff notes? I am getting a bit sick of "edgy." Maybe we should mail Reuters, AP, and the New York Times a thesaurus.

The Talk at the Oscars Is Over What Was Not Said

Did you also notice who was Not There? Anybody recall seeing Jack Nicholson, Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, just to name a few?.... Guess they all knew it was gonna be a dud...

"This is the most blatant, immature censorship that I've ever come across."

How can a media enterprise censor its own content?

If Robin want to take on Dobson; why not do it in another venue. . .like debate him. . .write an editdorial; why throw that out at Academy for 'entertainment', . .

. . .but why as why of these entertainers who imagine themselves accomplished, moral/political analysts. . .

Bores, bores, bores.

For a while you get mad, then you get over it. They're afraid of saying Olive Oyl is anorexic. It tells you about the state of humor. It's strange to think: How afraid are you?"

I won't get over it. And I'm not afraid.

However, the Hollywood elite will never get another penny from me. If more people would have that attitude, the egocentrics would go broke without us common folk, who have supported them for years.

I don't see how this garbage would help them attract a bigger audience.

"He previously joked that straight, black men did not watch the Oscars, drawing an angry response from commentators like Jake Lamar, an African American who called Rock's comments "a massive generalization" and "depressing." "

Then he stamped his foot, stormed away and took a Midol.

I got news for Mr. Rock. Straight white men don't watch them either. At least not this one.

[Duke Nukum]

Hey! I just had a brainstorm!

Make the Oscars Pay-Per-View and let the Hollywoodites go nuts, or nutz! even! Spelling "nuts" with a "z" and a "!" is totally zany.
