It's not absurdist, a dead baby joke is absurdist as someone else pointed out, you're exaggerating a hypothetical scenario for comic effect (what's worse than 10 dead babies in a trash can, 1 dead baby in 10 trash cans, etc.)

This actually happened to someone, so they're "poking fun" at the person it happened to.

Here is the fact of the matter: penises are funny. Vaginas aren't very funny, boobs aren't very funny, fallopian tubes are actually hilarious but that's besides the point.

See the point I'm making here? It's not funny because a man went through a horrible amount of pain both physical and mental, it's funny because his DICK GOT CUT OFF. Just because certain men might not find it funny doesn't mean it is offensive or some sort of commentary on how sexism has evolved in our culture when a woman finds it funny. It's just a fucking story about a severed dick.


You find it funny, some found it disturbing (as I did). I find it weird the people who find it harmlessly funny are the ones writing the rantiest posts.

Some jokes piss people off. They're going to say so. That's art and entertainment. You're not defending art by shielding it from criticism. You're killing it. People have the right to point out when Sharon sticks her foot in her mouth. That's what she gets for putting her face on my goddamn TV.

I am offended by this, not because it's sexist but because it's completely inappropriate. The guy was a victim of a terrible assault, a betrayal of trust by his wife who poisoned and then maimed him, and they're making jokes about it. You don't make jokes about real victims of real crimes.

Exactly. I don't care if someone makes a joke about lopping off a dick and using it as a shower head, but when someone actually gets horribly and brutally mutilated, that shit isn't funny unless you completely dehumanize the victim. Jokes about penises in garbage disposals and talking about the possibility of actually deserving it show a pretty clear lack of empathy, and yeah, it's offensive.

Considering HE asked HER for divorce, the woman was obviously insane.

I could somewhat understand if he was beating her or something and then she poisoned him and cut it off but it sounds like she's just crazy and he files for divorce and then .. you know what happened.

But the only one on the show that's is a total and complete imbecile is Sharon, the others I agree with. Being married to Ozzy all those years might explain a bit. I agree with the one girl that there could be things that would make someone chop off their husbands penis, such as rape or beatings. But yea, the only one on the show that deserves any flack is Sharon.

It's not about the the poor taste.

It's the fact that were a men's talk show to make fun of female genital mutilation, they would be immediately pulled from the air, and feminists would be up in arms over it.

By contrast, a women's talk show is given a free pass, and most feminists (who are supposedly in favor of gender equality and not just pro-women) don't give a shit.

"Strawmanning intelligent posts" seems like a contradictory term, so I have no idea what you're talking about. And I've said nothing about gender inequality. This is more about people having the right to point out poor taste without being accused of some form of censorship by sensationalists like yourself.

What a massive double standard, it's such a fucking disgrace to humanity, not just women that we have such "humour". I am livid, this is actually really upsetting. I'm boycotting sexism. I am going to be an absolute sexist prick, laugh at womens rights forever.

SAYING that its NOT the same, Gahhahahahahahaa Im so fucking mad

fuck these hosts, at least one realized how sexist they're being, to mad to think. Going to bed...


lol so ur denying that there is sexism towards women just cause 4 women were being sexist towards men on a tv show?

i agree with all this outrage and indignantion (over the actual incident, and maybe sharon osbourne) but you can't just go hating all women and denying that women get treated like shit all over the world


Women aren't treated like shit by me or anyone I know >.> Actually, I have not seen discrimination (between ppl I know) against women in real life in years. The other day I saw a guy being a dick to his gf on the bus.... And I was about ready to defend his gf when she did the same thing to him. I wish I could prevent ppl from being pricks all over the world, but I am not going to be condemned for someone elses actions. It's the same thing with racism, I have never been racist, I will not tolerate being limited because americans owned slaves and had jim crow laws and other crap before my family immigrated to america.

no, they aren't directly poking fun at him but rather the unique situation. the hypothetical idea of a cheating husband's penis being severed is far more comical than dead babies.

the shortsighted hypocrisy in this thread is blowing my mind. YOU are the censor. Not me. How can you not see that? You quote the guy who quite clearly is talking about the claims of sexism, and you strawman it to being about joke censorship.

People like you are trying so hard to give it to them, and Sharon herself is claiming that it's different because it's a penis that was cut off.

And as poined out, feminists would come slamming down on any male talk show host who made such a joke about female genital mutilation, to the point of shutting down the show, yet there's no response here.

Notice how there's been no official apology from either the show or the network? I guarantee that the opposite would be true if the genders were reversed.

Nowhere does it indicate that the man cheated, but your assumption that this was the case more or less sums up your sexist views.

Would it be comical if a husband severed the clitoris of his cheating wife? If not, why is it funny the other way around? Don't you think it has to do with double standards that legitimizes sexual violence against men?

Why oh why OH WHY would anyone, after reading this story, make the (il)logical conclusion that mean should be getting angry cause of some sort of fucked up reverse meta-sexism.

Here is the fact of the matter: penises are funny. Vaginas aren't very funny, boobs aren't very funny, fallopian tubes are actually hilarious but that's besides the point. We live in a culture where middle schoolers have a game where they yell penis really loud and laugh. It's called the penis game. And it's funny because you yell penis really loud. See the point I'm making here? It's not funny because a man went through a horrible amount of pain both physical and mental, it's funny because his DICK GOT CUT OFF. Just because certain men might not find it funny doesn't mean it is offensive or some sort of commentary on how sexism has evolved in our culture when a woman finds it funny. It's just a fucking story about a severed dick.


You find it funny, some found it disturbing (as I did). I find it weird the people who find it harmlessly funny are the ones writing the rantiest posts.

Some jokes piss people off. They're going to say so. That's art. You're not defending art by shielding it from criticism. You're killing it. People have the right to point out when Sharon sticks her foot in her mouth. That's what she gets for putting her face on my goddamn TV.


Except, you're not bitching about sharon's bad joke. You're bitching about gender inequality, and you're strawmanning the most intelligent post in the thread in the process.


"Strawmanning intelligent posts" seems like a contradictory term, so I have no idea what you're talking about. And I've said nothing about gender inequality. This is more about people having the right to point out poor taste without being accused of some form of censorship by sensationalists like yourself.



the shortsighted hypocrisy in this thread is blowing my mind. YOU are the censor. Not me. How can you not see that? You quote the guy who quite clearly is talking about the claims of sexism, and you strawman it to being about joke censorship.


How am I a censor? Have I said that she shouldn't be allowed to say that joke? Or any joke?

No.

Sensationalize more. Please continue to tell me how unreasonable we are for not thinking Sharon's joke was funny.

Yep, that's totally it man. That's why you keep repeating the same tired point that I just accused you of repeating, that's completely irrelevant to the topic. Pro-argument mang.

Ok guys, lets prove a point.

Everyone go out, grab a girl and mutilate there genitals and see the uproar in comparision so we have a good strong data pool to get our debate on if women are really trying to be equal then men, or just plain above them.
