    Explains why I havent heard Baby Its Cold Outside this year, but heard every other popular song about 20 times.
    Was one of the few I actually liked too. That's so stupid if the radio pulled it. I remember when there was uproar over Weezer's No One Else.
    I went to apple music search yesterday, and all the "trending" searches come up. Top of the list? You guessed it. Baby It's Cold Outside. LOL

    How do you figure your in the minority?
    Society in general seems to be trending in the direction of “everyone gets a trophy.” All that does is lead to mediocrity. Maybe I’m wrong, but my observation is that it has become the new normal and my way of thinking is in the minority. I don’t have hard data to support that, of course.

    I played little league when I was a kid.  When we lost we had to run laps around the field while the winning team watched from their dugout and laughed at us.  Don't want to run laps and get heckled?  Practice more, play harder, & win.
    Amen, brother.

    More talented people than Kevin Hart have lost gigs over less. Also, if you read those tweets, they're not jokes. They're statements. Look at this shit:

    "“Yo if my son comes home & try’s 2 play with my daughters doll house I’m going 2 break it over his head & say n my voice ‘stop that’s gay.”

    What's the point of even saying that?  Did someone ask him what he'd do if his son comes home and tries to play with his daughter's toys? Probably not right? So you'd have to be a pretty fucking insane to just tweet that because you were thinking it. 
    You MIGHT be able to make the argument that it was meant to be a statement if you take out the part where he says about smashing it over his son’s head. Unless you think he would actually do that, in which case the least of his problems is homophobia. 

    I’m not an expert on Hart’s Twitter habits at that point in his career, maybe he did frequently use it to voice his real life opinions on issues, but Twitter is one of the biggest ways that comedians promote themselves by tweeting (what they think are) funny things.

    I'm waiting to hear what The Rock has to say about all of this.

     No way, I was offended by city slickers.  The part where they put the gun in the calf’s mouth is way too offensive. I m going to start an online petition. 
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    Oscars have become predictable.  Just make a movie about having sex with fish people and you are guaranteed a trophy.

    I'd never heard of that before so I Googled it.  Apparently it happens.  This is what I found:

    It was never going to happen but I thought that Lady Bird should have gotten Best Picture this year out of the films that were nominated that is.

    I don't think Rudolph's target audience has the ability to think that critically.  To them it's just a cute reindeer saving Christmas.

    I want to know how gay people generally feel about all this. That's really the only relevant factor IMO.

    I just hope that they choose to let Ricky Gervais do it. That's the only host that would inspire me to watch. But they won't. They are scared of Ricky Gervais, lol.
