5 Biggest Comedy Taboos: My NEW piece at PJMedia

In the wake of The Daniel Tosh Rape Joke Experience…

Remember around 2009, when you were always hearing about how “important” Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show was, because “that’s where young people were getting their news.”

Studies and polls abounded, and an avalanche of op-eds speculated on “what it all meant.”

Notice how you haven’t heard that meme as much lately?

That’s probably because another Comedy Central show Tosh 2.0 gets even higher ratings than The Daily Show.

And the liberal elites don’t dare ponder the implications of that.

You see, comedian Daniel Tosh’s eponymous program “celebrates” Black History Month with features on “crackhead tossing” and February markdowns on Kool-Aid.

My apologies for the dreadful “Lou Gehrig ” sketch — I couldn’t source the Simpson’s clip that spoofed the “luckiest man on the face of the earth” speech.
