I am still a huge Kathy Griffin fan. She is godless and has been a huge supporter for gays and veterans. Not to mention she is hilarious. Any other supporters out there or is she over? I'd like to hear some thoughts.
I always liked her. No regrets, Kathy. “Nolite te bastardes carborundorum”
OK, so, touring Europe and short haircut - that's a good reframe! She's not the type to curl up and blow away. I hope she'll be back in America's good graces after a period in the wilderness (not that Europe exactly qualifies, but you know what I mean). Good for her!
I have no idea what she did, but I do know who she is. I have no clue what Anderson Cooper did to get either. I know so very little about her. Soo what Did she do to piss off so many people? What was it that"backfired" on her?
This is what started it all.
@Sadoi She did that photo shoot and then the conservatives lost their cotton-picking minds. She got fired from New Year's Eve on CNN, one of her besties Anderson Cooper disowned her. She had tons of tour dates cancelled in the US. Personally, I thought it was a riot. I mean, what is the function of a comedian if not to comment on and challenge culture? Anyway, when all is said and done, she is really very funny. She got tons of stuff on Youtube.
@Scarecrow had someone in the 70s done this, era of richard prior, andy kaufmann, gilda radner, billy crystal, eddie murphy, etc... i think this would easily have passed. I think it is lame that so much came of something so... little, if you ask me.
You are correct. It is a social commentary. This Is Our Stupid Ass Society. That Is Our Stupid Ass Leader. I mean, i don't know about you, but some days... i invision such things. lol! Im not gonna lie. I loathe that man and all that he stands for... if HE EVEN KNOWS what it IS he, himself, Actually Stands for.
I understand the humour. People are so touchy some times.
I can't stand her.Her stupid stunt back fired and she got what she deserved.
She is a comedian and it was satire. He is a misogynistic pig with the intellectual sophistication of a 6th grade bully and his actions have real life consequences on all our lives now. I can only hope he gets what he deserves for his stunts.
I like her a lot. I imagine her live shows still do very well. She has a very loyal following.
I have always liked her, although there is definitely a taste level issue! I imagine with a carefully crafted PR campaign she could come back, probably would involve a lot of very visible philanthropic work or something like that, and she might wind up in a different place. Also maybe some therapy for that need for attention.
