  • This is the type of ghing that he shouldn’t need to appologize for. The appology does no good. An appology is for if you said something that could be misinterpreted, or you made a bad choice thinking it would play out differently.

    This is just an intentionally poorly planned event. They wait in their hotel room for 2 days. Then they get chocolates. In no scenario does that play out differently. Those bags will always contain chocolates if you plan for them to contain chocolates.

    So what’s the appology? “I’m sorry I ripped you off”?

    Also, $9 T-Shirts? I’m confident that if I go into Walmart, their cheapest T-Shirt is $20. So how low quality are these T-Shirts??? Especially since I assume they also have some branded print screening on them.


  • People call him a comedian, and if you define comedy as “something you find funny”, then yeah. By that definition, he’s a comedian.

    But really he’s just a philosopher who points out lifes absurdities, and it’s the contrast between the truth, and what people feel permitted by society to say outloud that’s the basis of his comedy.

    He makes you get feelings such as “What? You can’t say that!” And then he does a routine, and you think “Actually, he has a point, it feels wrong to say that, but he has a point”

    And here’s the biggest thing about him that people don’t understand. He died in 2008. So people always like to say “Oh, I wonder what he’d say about politics and society today! He’d probably have a whole thing on trump!”

    To which I say he already did that. His material holds up because society doesn’t change. The same shit that was true in 1844 is the same shit we’re dealing with today. Race, power, money, status, war. It’s a tale older than recorded history. We don’t learn. We keep repeating the same paterns as our fathers generation, just as he did for his fathers generation, just as he did for his fathers generation. And so on and so on and so on. Small details change, but the landscape of human behavior is unaffected. History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.

    Anyways, here’s a bit from him. I didn’t watch it but based on the title, I’m fairly sure it’s the clip you reminded me of

    Man…I got annoyed at the Nicole stuff. But I always figured whoever it was, it wasn’t her. I figured she was just some adult webcam “actress” that doesn’t even know Lemmy exists. And someone was using her image to do this.

    Now she’s dead? How do we confirm this? Do we call the Toronto police? What would we even tell them?
