In reply to the discussion: You saw their boobs? Now go fuck yourself. [View all]Nay
(12,051 posts)watch them because I'm not a TV/movie/movie star fan. I also have never listened to MacFarlane, as far as I can remember. I just cannot think of any conceivable reason why a booby-fest joke routine would be funny at all, especially in the venue of the Oscars, where those at the top of their game are honored with awards for their proficiency. How anyone can view this as anything but a jab at women is beyond me. This is EXACTLY what men do to denigrate women -- especially as they reach the pinnacle of achievement in a field, which the Oscars supposedly represents. It's a way of dismissing and belittling female achievement.
I don't buy the idea that he was mocking the use of boobs in movies to draw in audiences. If that were truly his aim, he would have done something like mock the use of men's chests or dicks to draw in female audiences, and then related it to the boob fixation in movies. That's what Carlin would have done, and it would have made the relevant people uncomfortable. THAT'S edgy comedy. All MacFarlane did was reinforce men's booby fixations.
And whoever did the C**T tweet at the Onion, about a NINE-YEAR-OLD GIRL, should be fired and dragged through the streets. Honestly. The brutality of the human race never ceases to make me sick. No, it's not as brutal as the murder of a 14-year-old for adultery after her father rapes her, but can't anyone see that this shit is NOT FUNNY?
