Comedic Relief?
Thai Rivera is a gay comedian and his work has very interesting implications. In light of the recent stress of over-blogging, I thought I might brighten up some people's day by posting a comedic act on gay rights. His gay jokes are somewhat harmless but the idea of having a homosexual make fun of homosexuals is a very interesting topic in it of itself. Do you think that the minority group should have the "right" and "liberty" to make fun and joke about themselves? If a heterosexual makes fun of homosexuals it is considered demeaning, rude, and oppressive, but if homosexuals make fun of homosexuals it is socially acceptable. What do you guys think?

personally, I think this is hilarious. [And, aside, I think that even if something is offensive, it can perfectly well be said.] I mean, he's not hateful towards they gay community for being gay; he's mocking their political tactics and appeals.
ReplyDeleteYou could think of it as humorous constructive criticism of their campaign...
"these aren't the trouble spots people. all you're doing in these areas is clogging up traffic for the people that were already on your side."
"you leave those poor chickens out of this"
