@LordAntonis You're a moron. I have never heard men gleefully talk about women getting raped/abused, aside from the "ghetto", "wrong side of the tracks" crowd.
Women however, women who consider themselves classy and upstanding members of society, will laugh at male abuse and mutilation.
In short, 1% of men may be like "Tha BITCH deserved it" while 99% of women will laugh and joke at this kind of stuff.
300 blog comments and countless videos and I found yours and 2 other videos that condemn the action. Thank you for being one of the 1% of women who aren't bigoted and ugly.
Sara Gilbert the only one I enjoy listening to. Remini is just on the show to knock and put down everything Sara says. She is vulgar and not funny. Can't watch the show.
Head's did roll. The vulgar, tasteless Sharon Osbourne is gone from the show. Not sure about the rest of the gigglers, but I don't think this helped their careers.
Awww. I thought this was going to be a vlog about explaining the birds & the bees to children. Which would have been far more entertaining and left doors open for much many jokes. :(
The "celebrity" issue reminds me of something Dave Chappelle said. He was talking about how after 9/11 MTV had rapper "ja rule" on the phone to get his opinion on the tragedy. Dave was like "Who gives a fuck what ja rule thinks? I don't wanna dance right now I'm scared to death." lol
This is the first I've heard about any of it. How sick, and how scary to think that this attitude is prevalent enough for a television show to view it as acceptable. Yuck.
@wspol624 No, if it happened to a woman, many men would be cheering, going on about how "the bitch deserved it." Yet, when the tables are turned the men throw tantrums and get hysterical. Then talk about hypocrisy.
@LordAntonis Of course there would be some men saying that she deserved it. There are bad men, bad women, bad (insert group here)...the point is that if these bad men were on a TV talk show and did what The Talk hosts did, they would be fired immediately, and there would be much more media attention and greater public outcry from both women and men. And CBS would formally apologize, not just have one of the hosts make an insincere, giggling apology and then act like it never happened.
As someone who just loves the worst possible places on the Internet that I can find and not be arrested for it, I have to say that Sharon's joke didn't bother me. The part that bothered me was her saying "oh, but this is different."
:|
Really? Really? Having to deal with Ozzy Osbourne for so long can excuse a lot, but really?!?
@stealthbadger yes this bothered me also, infact if you watch the original clip in its entirety you will hear Julie Chen (a producer who is married to the president of CBS) agree with Sharon saying "It is different"
Julie Chen did not accept responsibility, nor did she apologize. The whole apology was based around Sharon, she was the scapegoat for them all.
It's only funny because it's politically correct. If it was a woman who had something cut off and thrown away, guarantee you no one would be laughing.
I saw the episode and watched on with disgust that this group and their entire audience could laugh about such an abhorrent act. But honestly, I wasnt surprised. This happens all the time, and on that show its a daily occurrence. What got me pissed off, though, was the bullshit, forced apology the following day. Its one thing to me to be a classless, ignorant shithead. Its something completely else to insincerely apologize because your producer told you to for the aforementioned shitheadedness.
I live in the town next to where this happened, and saw local news coverage the same day. The police woman being interviewed said "We have to find out what motivated this woman to do this". Which says to me her mindset is to blame the guy. That's what ticks me off. Had it been a guy mutilating a woman, all we would hear is how men are prone to violence against women. When idiot celebs say idiotic things it's no surprise, when people in positions of authority do it, it worries me.
Sharon Osbourne has long been one of our medias most daft players. I hate her with every fiber of my being, and am far from surprised to hear of this most idiotic of recent statements.
I made a video like this from a man's perspective. Great video. Thanks for making such a concise statement on this subject. The apology was insincere and joking at best. My favorite part of this video was the blahlblahblahblahblahblah HAHAHAHA
I'm angry on that young man's behalf, because I have a son and that young man is some mother's son and deserves the same respect my son does, as all sons do.
I'm also angry because the behavior of that woman who did that to him, and the behavior of those nitwits who thought it was funny, reflects poorly on me, as a woman. I hope some heads roll over this, and I hope the woman who tortured and mutilated him gets lots of time in jail to think about what she did.
What I'm planning to do sometime this week is to bite the bullet and watch that show, making note of all the commercials that run during it. Any show with people who show such callous disregard for other people should not be allowed to continue, and the only way I know to help get them off the air is to let their advertisers know what their product is being associated with.
This show didn't surprise me in the least. I've been raked over the coals in divorce court and family law court, to name a few institutions. Every step of the way, I was reminded of what a huge piece of garbage I was. I can't remember if I'd ever seen my mother cry like that.
As for celebrity status: A 17-year-old died from a drug overdose, but they didn't have a hit record, so it was NOT classified as a "tragedy," and they were forgotten.
Next thing you'll be telling me, you're not real. ;-) Agreed, not funny. Saw the videos and thought they were disgraceful. I have this strange view of women as people. There was only one person there. Sad. Sharon Osbourn was remarkably stupid. Was she on her husbands drugs? Can she use that as an excuse? Was her husband driven to drugs because of her remarkable idiocy? Seriously, I don't understand her perspective outside of that kind of bent mental processing. Anyway, thanks for being human.
I used to really like Sharon Osbourne — but she came across as an utter arsehole here. It was cringe-worthy to see how tentative and over-qualifying Sara Gilbert felt she had to be — not wanting to be a 'buzz kill' as she made the point that it wouldn't be acceptable to laugh at female mutilation. The tension was palpable. That single awkward moment was fantastic — that was truthful. Of course Sharon had to break it with more moronic shit. Nauseating spectacle. Numbed. Cowardly. Disgraceful.
You're right if the situation were reversed there would have been incredible outrage, and that outrage would have come equally from men, and women. The minor outrage regarding this was spearheaded by men, and even then was minimal. I think that fact is an indictment of a society where even men seem to think that they are almost deserving of such treatment, and I think a lot of that attitude of it's time to turn the tables is a byproduct of feminism.
I wanted to add that I consider myself a "feminist", and I'm not saying this is an intentional byproduct. But when you continuously point out the mistreatment, and inequality of women at the hands of men, or a patriarchy people are going to have the attitude that when a woman mistreats a man it's almost deserved.
Thanks for making the video. I will try to do a calmer one that I'll actually upload tomorrow. I already wrote to CBS... not a very pleasant email. I wasn't nasty though.
