Thats a good point. I'm trying to think of a really successful female comedian who didn't need to go to vulgarity, and it's kinda hard.
In general, blue comedy (there's an old-rear end term for you) does better for both sexes. Stand-up is definitely super misogynist, especially the old "women aren't funny" chestnut, but let's not overlook the accomplishments of classic comedians like Ellen Degeneres or Rita Rudner.

Also women are doing a lot more in comedy writing and acting now without going blue - Amy Poelher, Tina Fey, Chelsea Peretti, etc. I think a lot of the exciting things happening with women in comedy aren't happening in front of the mic.

I agree. The systematic discrimination against women in numerous areas of public life is a far more important concern than the reactionary racism of Kirschen and others of his ilk.

The "inside" in Inside Amy Schumer is supposed to refer to her mind since the show's main visual transition queue is showing her thinking about something then zooming in on her head.

I imagine we're gonna get a wave of more obituary cartoons, because Alan Rickman just passed away from cancer :smith:

Female comedians is a serious topic. not a fun one.

And while I agree our society should progress to equality and freedom and equal opportunities, sometimes there are more important topics on table that affect both men and women.

"Delayed economic recovery."

I know Jarlsberg's political intellect is on pull-my-finger levels, but I'd love to hear him explain that one. Credit I suppose for actually noting there was an economic recovery, unlike all the chucklefucks who kept drawing GIANT UNEMPLOYMENT PERCENTAGES and then stopped for some reason.

The other side of it is, more or less 'but we really LIKE making money off these guys and not paying them. Also football is a tough manly sport stop being a pussy about your 'string of concussions before your 21st birthday' you baby'.

There was some actual art I saw a while back with a football player lined up in a squat ready for a play opposite a sharecropper in just about the same position picking cotton. Can't find it for the life of me, it was at Raleigh's art museum.

Cartoon artist and Donald Trump have a lot in common. Cartoonist offend people and sometimes are racist to entertain the readers. Donald Trump offend people and sometimes is racist to entertain his voters.

Donald Trump is really a performance artist. He could improvise on the spot something stupid that will cause moral panic between all good thinking left wing personas. Cartoon artist sometimes draw something stupid and trollish, but fun.

The difference is that Cartoon artist are not chosen to approve laws.

I love this one and resent it being included in the "more poo poo" category.




The Canadian dollar is dropping as quickly as oil as it becomes clear to everyone just how married our economy is to oil exports (and also a housing bubble as big as the US's in 2008, but nobody wants to admit that yet), and fell under 70 cents a few days ago. One forecaster is predicting it to fall to 59 cents US in 2016 and stay there for several years.

Canadians, naturally, are responding to this by acknowledging the weakness of our oil export-based economy and calling for diversification, innovation, and government stimulus blaming the recent election of left-ish governments for everything and claiming all this would just bounce back to normal if we would bring conservatives back to power. Since, y'know, the politicians in Ottawa, Toronto, and Edmonton have so much responsibility over how much oil Saudi Arabia produces.

There's no angle he could use where you'd see both Clintons from the front and the Bernie in the mirror, so he had to fudge a bit by putting the rear view mirror at an absurd angle.

What I'm saying is that if you want to say this cartoonist has no idea how something works, try "good choices of visual metaphors" or "scene composition".

Kevin O'Leary, who is kind of like a bargain bin Canadian Donald Trump, recently went all Doctor Evil and offered to invest one million dollars in the Albertan oil industry if the newly elected left wing premier of Alberta would just take all the blame for the oil crash and resign her office. Now he's considering running for the leadership of the federal conservative party.
