Some conservatives aren't funny...

I don't want to write a lengthy post on the Chris Rock "controversy," but I did want to comment briefly.

Criticism over Rock's recent material regarding abortion, homosexuals, etc. is not limited just to right-wing groups. But that said, some are demanding that Rock be fired from his upcoming role as a MC for the Academy Awards.

I want to note that every time a right wing group comes out swinging about something as trivial as Rock's humor, or Janet Jackson's nipple, or any number of other things, I die a little inside.

It's idiots like them who give Conservatism a bad name. It is any wonder that the stereotype of conservatism is that is has no sense of humor? I'm tired of it. What we need is more conservatives to come out and tell these ninnies to shut up and get a life.

In Rock's case, it's stand-up comedy for God's sakes. It's not some political declaration. It's meant to be funny. But then, these critics are deeply unserious (or more accurately, overly serious. all the time). I mean, you'd have to be to think that a 1/1,000,000 of a second shot of Janet Jackson's nipple would scar children for life. Or that grown people would be damanged by hearing a joke that says that if you are wanting to "get some action," you're better suited to go to an abortion rights rally than a bible-study group...

It's a funny line. So you whiners should get over yourselves. And incidentely, I'd guess that Chris Rock is probably right..
