One Broke Culture: my latest at Taki’s

Enjoy:

What horrors took place at last week’s Television Critics Association confab, then? Chuck Lorre sucker-punched Anthony Zuiker? Oprah showed up without makeup?

Nope: A gay Irishman mocked a straight Irishman for asking why the former’s show made fun of blacks and Asians. (…)

Next time you complain that television is too politically correct, don’t blame some temperamental old liberal queen behind the scenes.

This time, he got bashed by uptight self-appointed cultural gatekeepers who want every TV episode to be “a very special” one, even if nobody normal wants to watch.
