I still think she was pokign fun at celebrities that are adoptign kids out
of Africa. To be honest, I have thought they (the celebs) are doing it
becasue 'it the thing to do now' and no other reason.

I'd still be unoffended. And I'd still think it wasn't funny.
We've all got different thresholds of what we do or do not find offensive.
Debating whether or not the joke was offensive is going to be about as
productive as debating whether or not the democrats are better than the
republicans, or v

I'm not easily offended, but that is really offensive. There are half a
million children in foster care in the U.S., millions of children around the
world in need. And what she is saying about skin color is that a lot of
those children don't matter. And what was their offense? Being born with a

Call me a cynic, but I think you give Brad, Angie and Madonna way too much
credit. Celebrities of their 'status' never do anything without first
considering how it will affect the public's perception of them.

To be color blind assumes that everyone is the same, and discounts the

I don't think she seeks public approval. Her and Brad's lives are so
controversial, I actually don't think either one of them cares a rat's ass
about what we the public think.

All that happened in a few seconds, the idea behind the statement was clear.

I dunno.
It has become so passe, or maybe because for many people that fact is
not so 'unknown'.I also don't know of anyone beside Angelina
I don;t know that is supposed to be "laugh out loud funny", but more

Here is what I read:
"go brown when you adopt, so you get credit".

Adopt a brown person? OK, that must be it.
Brown. that must include anyone
Most funny jokes are offensive to someone, somewhere and I guess this proves
un-funny ones do as well.

No, it's just not funny. Maybe it's because I'm too busy to worry

It's just not funny, like so much of Silverman's routine.
I really can't understand why she still has her own show on comedy central.

Depends - it took us forever and a day (or, not exaggerating - about a
year). But, there were some complications with a pet that we had that

requesting an exemption of that rule. She died before the paperwork
went through. Typically, I'
