Re: Joan Rivers does it AGAIN with her big mouth

Doesn't anyone ""get"" that Joan wasn't making fun of the pregnant woman at all. She was making fun of the maternity DRESS she was wearing. Joan's words were ""that dress makes her look like I do standing sideways with no bra on"". Nobody was in love with that dress. It was ugly and very UNflattering on the pregnant woman.

Sometimes I really wonder about the people here who ""think"" they have a sense of humor....

Re: Joan Rivers does it AGAIN with her big mouth

Not liking Joan Rivers brand of humor does not make me (or anyone else) humorless. I just don't care for it, that's all.

If posters think she's funny, fine. If posters don't think she's funny, fine.

That woman's mouth causes me to change channels each time she is on. She has enough fans so she really doesn't need me anyway.

I think plenty of people "get" that, and this thread wasn't about Joan insulting Chris Hemsworth's wife's dress.... it was about her making a comment about Lena. Regardless, Joan is Joan and she obviously is very offensive to many.

On the other hand, I don't think a person has to be a fan of Joan's to be considered having a sense of humor either. Humor is like religion, s3x, and politics... what works for one, might not work for another.

Re: Joan Rivers does it AGAIN with her big mouth

There are some things Joan says that I really don't think are funny. Her language doesn't offend me at all. I read her book (I hate everyone, including myself) and have to say - that is the funniest book I have ever read. Even those who hate her, will not be able to refrain from laughing. Just thinking about it makes me laugh...... ROFL{#emotions_dlg.w00t}{#emotions_dlg.laugh}{#emotions_dlg.laugh}

Well, since you mentioned it... perfect! Smile In all seriousness, was that comment really necessary? I wasn't criticizing you, just addressing what you said, and you did mention you don't even know who Lena is.

Re: Joan Rivers does it AGAIN with her big mouth

There are several styles of humor ranging from potty mouth to toilet humor to foul mouths like Andrew dice clay who denigrates women and then there's slapstick and beyond. Joan is joan. If one doesn't like her brand of humor that doesn't mean they lack a sense of humor. Mealy mouth? Ridiculous.
