Homophonic s***lord, hopefully this bigot gets less work in Hollywood.

I know what you mean. I need every entertainer to share my morals too. Hilarious? Oh well. Great with a guitar? Can sing your ass off? Doesn't matter! Better think like me or I'm comin' for ya!

I mean, that's a pretty crazy strawman. Obviously no one is saying that enjoyment is entirely based on unrelated views of a person, but most artforms tend to reflect the person creating them. Comedy is especially centered around the personality of the comedian. Like, you wouldn't assume that George Carlin was a super patriotic, ultra-religious conservative, or that Seinfeld is a polite, unobservant man who hates sarcasm, or that Sarah Silverman is a super religious, prim and proper lady who despises blue humor in real life. What is especially weird about that argument is that the comments themselves are being defended as 'jokes', so the controversial statements are literally part of his work.

Anyone that thinks a comedian should have to be careful about what they say probably shouldn't even say George Carlin.

Alright, you are completely ignoring what I said. That's that then.
