    Comedians, more than actors, seem to be more comfortable disappearing for long periods of time. I could see him going away and not being heard from for a long, long time.

    I don't understand why he wouldn't have just spoken to the reporters and gotten out in front of the story.

    I don’t understand why there are so many typos in his statement

    Self-loathing SJ.com is my favorite SJ.com.

    Weird thought: I think it might be smart to add typos in a statement like that. Makes it look unvarnished, unedited and straight from him.

    "When you have power over another person, asking them to look at your dick isn't a question. It's a predicament."

    We live in strange times.

    Its like some of you - though married, have daughters, etc. have no clue when women are uncomfortable.

    Don’t Let the Smile Fool You. I’m Cringing on the Inside

    I used to work for a very popular media company, and we had a meeting that ended with a keynote speech by the living legend, the Rev. Jesse Jackson. So, of course, the conference room was packed wall-to-wall.

    After Jackson’s riveting and inspiring speech about the responsibility of black journalists, we all lined up to take a photo with him. One by one, we stepped up, shared a few words and thank-yous with Jackson, snapped photos and went back to our desks. Simple enough, right?

    I walked toward Jackson, smiling, and he smiled back at me. His eyes scanned my entire body. All of a sudden, I felt naked in my sweater and jeans. As I walked within arm’s reach of him, Jackson reached out a hand and grabbed my thigh, saying, “I like all of that right there!” and gave my thigh a tight squeeze.


    I was shocked, to say the least. Even though Jackson had had his hand reached out, I had no idea that he would touch me in a sexual way.

    I did what most women in an uncomfortable position do: I giggled. And I continued to giggle as he pulled me in closer, stared down at my body, smiled and told me he was only kidding. The entire time, my co-worker snapped photos.

    You are responding to an imaginary post here, of course.

    It is, indeed, correct that women laugh when in an uncomfortable position. It does not follow that women always laugh because they are in an uncomfortable position. You know when else they laugh? When they are enjoying themselves.

    Back to the Times piece: Yes, they were uncomfortable. Was that in doubt? The unanswered question was, did they nonetheless grant consent for him to do what he did? The reporter didn't think it was important enough to ask that question. That is staggering.

    So, does all of this mean Louis CK is the biggest jerk-off in show business?

    Awesome job of the NY Times to put the curb stomp on this pervert's career. His pathetic apology would have never been (ghost) written until that Times piece was published.

    Now let's sit back and enjoy the riches:
