Anyone like to take it in the ass?

Today his act would be considered extremely tame. He opened the doors for all that followed him and the establishment went after him w/ a vengeance. A genius who had the misfortune of being born about a decade too early.

@DrBones666 Yup, just like the end of his 'How To Talk Dirty & Influence People', sadly, disappears down a hole of obsession with court transcripts and, even perhaps, self-persecution. Clear to see how much he informed the work of Bill Hicks.

Well, someone caved to Islam. Islam will ultimately be victorious.

That's for sure. Muslims rule.

@5678567856 Comedy Central didn't wanna get Bombed xD That's why the episode didn't go on the air!

@5678567856 Matt and Trey never chickened out, It was the channel that backed out, They said that in The 14 years they had being doing south park thereis not one episode they would not back, It was comedy central Not Matt or Trey.

I wonder if Bruce would have defended draw Muhammad day, or, would he have chickened out like the creators of South Park under Muslim threat.

In the photo of Lenny Bruce dead, he's got a beard, so this can't be just before he died.

@AmanteFennes187 said JUST before he died diggeth?
Lenny was the first of his kind. There was no such thing as "club comedy" at that point, so it was possible for a comedian to do a twenty minute bit and get a laugh at the end. Now you get these fucking club managers that sit in the office with a stopwatch counting the number of laughs per minute a comic gets. Doesn't matter how hack or shitty, just keep 'em laughing and more importantly, drinking. It sucks.
