    I haven’t watched it but everyone is up in arms about the whole “shooting someone is worse than being homophobic/transphobic”?  Which…yeah…

    It's a wild scene out there.  I can't imagine getting so worked up about a comedy special.  Just don't watch it.  They're acting like Chapelle is a high ranking executive at Netflix or something.
    They've been going after the high ranking exec at Netflix too.  he isn't spared in all this, lol.

    And all of the outrage is causing more and more people to watch it.  Netflix will gladly take the heat and the revenue.  
    I think it's hilarious.

    It never occurred to me that Netflix has a lot of employees to begin with.  I guess it makes sense.

    I do wonder if the people who are outraged are a very, very small percentage and are being reported because that makes news and who doesn't like a lil bit of controversy.

    I have this theory that has been proven in the past that news reporting is all on social medias now.  No one really investigates anything.  They just repeat what they read and through the pipeline it becomes fact.

    In all reality the same 2 people who complained have been regurgitated so many times it feels like a story and the thoughts of millions...

    Yes, as explained further in my statement.

    Watch it about once a year and my wife thinks I'm an idiot every time.

    I’ve been watching it in pieces — love it.

    Actually, I love all comedians / standup folks who stick to their guns.

    Totally agree. I loved his TV show and Half Baked, but never cared for his standup. But I’ll tell you who loves his standup….Dave himself. Always taking a moment between jokes to hold his stomach and laugh at whatever he just said.

    I personally think he is great.

    What he has done for the whole stand up community during the pandemic is worth noting too.  Out in the middle of Ohio, Yellow Springs he  invited comics to do social distancing comedy shows.

    He and Tosh along w Bill Burr move the needle for me.

    Maybe it's something with the name Dave.  No one, and I mean no one, likes Dave Grohl as much as Dave Grohl likes Dave Grohl.

    I think Chappelle is funny and smart. Definitely some swing and misses though.
