Quick Poll...

If you saw this pic on your teenagers phone, and it was her or if you knew it was a friend of your teen daughter or son...what would you think? And how would you respond in both situations?

What would you think if you found out your daughter put a pic like this up on her myspace? Or saw this was one of her friends?

i think sarah silverman is funny too. i think that a lot of people who take offense at her comedy are only hearing what's being said on the surface. i think her humor is all about her subtext, and the subtext is usually a comment on the stupidity or absurdity of her surface comment. even if she piles it on a bit thick with the dark humor, i think she's got a great sense of satire.

Here's Kathy Griffin saying it live. Still proud of her? Still think it's "funny"?





Kathy Griffin is a piece of shit. I'm glad she got fired off "Hannah Montana".

Another comedian, on 15 year olds. It's long, but makes a point and is very funny.

How old is 15 really?




To me, if you're old enough to be sold, you are old enough to deal with everything that goes along with that. Celebrities are made fun of, especially when they are hypocrites.

It was something you said when you were in Detroit the first time - complaining that the bar we were at was lame because it wasn't a gay bar and then going to sleep in the car. My feelings were hurt because we were trying to show you a good time and I thought you were openly complaining about it.
Later you told me you were joking - and things were ok after that - but, at the time, I had no idea.
It just shows that what some people find funny, others don't.

Somehow I feel there is a far greater point being missed by a mile here...

What upsets me far more than what KG says about MC in a stand up comedy routine is the FACT that MC dares to take pics of herself



and "release" them to the public. By "release" I mean they got out somehow, be it intentional or not.

Nobody seems to raise a stink about "Where are her parents?" or "How dare she". Where is the outrage at a 15 year old pushing the limits of acting like a grown up? Where is the outrage at her parents for not putting an end to MC's behavior???

KG is famous for making outrageous comments in her act, not one person in either of the videos gasped in shock or booed or hissed. They knew what they were getting.

Rodeo, I agree, to a certain extent, with the principle of your complaint; but I feel there is far more to be done than just complain about 1 D-lister...

I don't take offense at her humor: she's just not funny to me.

First off, I would realize that she is a product of her environment

which is one of those "to each their own" things. i feel the same way about kathy griffin. i don't even find her miley cyrus comment offensive - just cheap. there are people i know are "good" comedians but i just don't get their humor, and then there are comedians who i think are just plain vile *coughcoughcarlosmenciacoughcough*. kathy doesn't offend me...it's just that you know how she's going to finish every comment as soon as you hear who she's going to talk about. yawn. bring a book.

WOW! I am really out of touch with todays youth!

Are people really shocked that a 15 year old is trying to be sexual? Does anyone here remember being 15?

I don't find Kathy Griffin funny or offensive.

now, it would be funny if this thread ended up on her show or in part of her routine. there's some good material here.

Oh!! I remember that. Unlike this Kathy person, I never want to say anything to offend anyone.

NDRU said:

I do and I wasn't. Neither were the kids I hung around. Maybe it's just me and my surroundings, but I think times have changed...but maybe they haven't.

I wasn't having sex at 15, but it was all I ever thought about, along with being sexually attractive.

superspaceboy said:

I totally remember wanting to come off as sexy at that age. The difference is that now it's really, really easy to share pics and such like this.

But I do think that times are different in terms of children being exposed to way more than you and I were exposed to as teens.

I was a teenover 20 years ago. They weren't making thongs for little girls then.
