Anyone who takes anything a comedian says as part of their act seriously should have their head examined.

You don’t like her comedy? Great.

Trying to hold her accountable for her style of shock humor? That’s kinda weird

So, you don't think that there is any limit that can be placed on what might be considered funny. It really shows that you have not thought your position all the way through. If a comedian wanted to shock audiences by making fun of black people, well, we can't be judgemental about that. Maybe they would like to joke about rape victims, or people being murdered. Maybe there's humor to be found in the Holocaust, which might get someone laughing, but that would be perfectly fine to you. Perhaps they could tell jokes about children being kidnapped or abused. That could be real funny, don't you think?

I can probably make some really good jokes about stupid people who like to be able to laugh at anything that can be imagined and pepper spray, but I wouldn't want to hurt your feelings. Don't get mad, I'm only joking.

There has to be a line drawn somewhere. I totally did not watch Austin Powers number 3 because it was toilet humor. I hold that against Mike Meyers. And I didn't go to his recent stupid guru movie either. Do I want to disdain him? HELL YES! Same with Rosie Odonell. I will not watch anything with Rosie Odonell. Not that she's rude, she's just a skank with a big mouth. But she's not getting any money from me. Same with Micheal Jackson. I don't know for sure anything about him, but I will turn the station anytime I hear any of his music, even the thriller stuff which wasn't that bad.

The point is that you have a moral responsibility to draw a line somewhere, and let it be known that the gratification of the senses at the expense of others is not acceptable to you. Nothing at all is wierd about that.
