I'm curious, did you all feel that way about Joan Rivers? Her humor was pretty blue and she made mean jokes about overweight people, while selling them her wares. I always feel like she got a pass here, while others get bashed.

@QVCkitty1

Same thing with Bob Saget .... he was on some family show, but his Las Vegas act was very raunchy. People practically lost their minds over that! Who says any comedian HAS to be G-rated? Go figure.

Joan never claimed to represent anyone but herself, never claimed her dignity was bruised from reaction to anything she said for profit, and I can well imagine what she'd have to say to Mr. Cannon right now.

To answer your question directly, although I respected her honesty about it, Joan's humor was not my cup of tea. I don't find wincing and grimacing to be entertaining.

This is about propriety, nothing else, so please do not attempt to manipulate this into either a black vs white or male vs female issue. It just plain isn't.

Strive for respect instead of attention. It lasts longer.

@IamMrsG, Please do not presume to analyze my post. I have always thought Joan got a pass here, while other performers were called vulgar and worse. We all have our favorite people, and sometimes make excuses for them, but be honest about it.

@QVCkitty1 I neither presumed nor analyzed anything in your post. I directly answered your question, in which you declared your own opinion. I did not do it for you. Neither was I dishonest about anything. Please desist if this is the course you choose to take, as I will not engage in such agendas.

My point remains that Nick Cannon was wrong on two fronts: 1. his choice of "comedy" and 2, his reaction to his employer. I don't care if he is black, Asian, Caucasian or Martian, male, female, gay, bi-, trans, or any other verbiage that may be circulating, he didn't sell-out his dignity, he threw it away.
