Ali G...comic or racist?

Did any of you catch <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4436190.stm"> this juicy bit </a> on the radio this morning? Very funny, yet thought provoking. Which way does comedy slant in Europe these days. Apparently, Polish jokes are out this year.

Comics who are not racist are not funny. Discuss.

Posted by Miriam on 2005-11-15 16:41:55 +0000
interesting, but not sure I want to go there

I only like "racial" comics, I dont believe "racist" comics exist..

I'm racist, and I'm not funny.

I don't think he's racist.

Posted by Miriam on 2005-11-15 19:41:00 +0000
I think he's sexy.

Posted by pamsterdam on 2005-11-15 19:47:42 +0000
I do too! Ooooooh, sexy <strong><i>sexy</i></strong> man.

That's soooo racial.

Posted by pamsterdam on 2005-11-15 19:54:08 +0000
You're dead to me.

Posted by Miriam on 2005-11-15 19:58:36 +0000
Bring him on! I'm all about the Sephardic look.

Posted by pamsterdam on 2005-11-15 20:02:47 +0000
The whole "I'm gay" thing is a real turn-off, though.

Posted by Miriam on 2005-11-15 20:15:51 +0000
But Sasha's marrying an Australian actress. Guess he's off limits.

Posted by pamsterdam on 2005-11-15 20:22:30 +0000
Hell, everyone's off-limits to me these days! Woohoo! I'm overwhelmed by illicit celebrity crushes!

He's totally one of my pretend boyfriends.

Posted by G lib on 2005-11-15 20:37:24 +0000
Hilarious. Definitely hilarious.

Ha ha - to me and to self-loathing gay men.

We want our stuff back.

Posted by rladew on 2005-11-15 20:52:14 +0000
how could the man who crafted Freedom '90, Father Figure, Kissing A Fool, etc be dead to anyone?

Good point. Faith was on repeat in my car for about a year.

Posted by tgl on 2005-11-15 20:57:41 +0000
That's funny.

Posted by pamsterdam on 2005-11-15 21:02:22 +0000
No, I mean you. You're dead to me. For saying that Ali G looks like George Michael. George Michael is very much alive to me. But not sexy. He's too gay to activate my tingles.

Posted by rladew on 2005-11-15 21:09:19 +0000
so my observation was a sexual buzzkill... that still doesn't change the fact that these two men look similar...

Hm.

You're killing one of my illicit celebrity crushes.

Tingles... getting... weaker!

SPOCK!

Posted by pamsterdam on 2005-11-15 21:12:32 +0000
Speaking of which:

Very tingly.

'Freedom' is an absolute stunner.

Posted by tgl on 2005-11-16 00:50:24 +0000
Still looking for a full "Spock with a Beard" mp3. No luck yet, except a bit from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/clipserve/B000000FYY001005/1/102-9810368-1505730">Amazon</a>. Ahhh, 1994.

It's on two V/A: <A href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000000FYY/ref=pd_sim_music_2/102-9810368-1505730?v=glance&s=music">Rebirth of Cool, 2</a> and <A href="http://www.discogs.com/release/54784">Royalties Overdue</a>.

Posted by tendiamonds on 2005-11-16 14:59:48 +0000
I haven't <a href="http://www.alteringtime.com/features/misc/?p=baggins">watched this</a> in a while...

Posted by rladew on 2005-11-30 15:26:39 +0000

I love the headline! Spreeeeeeeee!

But I thought GM didn't "believe in" men being monogamous? Last year he did this b.s. interview saying that men aren't made to have long-term monogamous relationships and straight women should just deal with infidelity as a sort of "hazard of the trade". (arches eyebrows, purses lips)

So, no - I don't think we'll attend.

Posted by rladew on 2005-11-30 15:40:26 +0000
It was a rather good headline, I have to admit..
