‘Showtime at the Apology’ (video)

July 31, 2012 By Kathy Shaidle

The kids at SHECKY can’t believe we’re still playing this game:

[Dane] Cook created this week’s “Comic Under Fire for a Video/Audio Recording Taken Out of Context and Splashed Across the Social Mediasphere” controversy when he did a joke– onstage at the Laugh Factory in Hollywood, naturally– about the Aurora shooting. (…)

The points we made three years ago are startlingly familiar to the ones we make in 2012.

It’s getting a little tiresome, defending our colleagues (against scurrilous comments often made by our colleagues!), but we can’t just let it slide.

But it’s also getting tiresome watching our colleagues apologize.
