Everyone is so thrilled about Barack Obama making his way into the White House, but nobody is thinking about how much it's going to suck for comedians.
Who the hell are they going to write about without good, ol' Dubya to kick around anymore? Obama just doesn't give anyone much material, and even Chris Rock is feeling the squeeze.
In an interview with CNN where he was promoting his new CD "Kill the Messenger" Chris was asked why Obama seemed to get a pass:
"He's just one of those guys, you know, like Will Smith. There's no Will Smith jokes. There's no Brad Pitt jokes. You know, what are you going to say? "Ooh, you used to have sex with Jennifer Aniston. Now you have sex with Angelina Jolie. You're such a loser." What do you say? [With Obama] It's like "Ooh, you're young and virile and you've got a beautiful wife and kids. You're the first African-American president." You know, what do you say?"
Uh. We're with you on Obama (so far) but there's tons of stuff out there on creepy, porn mustached Brad Pitt.
If a Golden Globes after party guest can do it, so can you Chris. Even though it may be just dasterdly to do so.
Oh, and Will Smith gives money to The Church Of Scientology. Bam.
Done and done.

Tina says:
there is plety to make fun of....look at his wife. But ofcourse, you can't make fun because they always accuse of being prejudice, but not if you make fun of a white pres. People are scared to say anything, let's face it. He should be equal just like all presidents, not cos he's black
say what? says:
Tina, what is it about his wife that you would make fun of?
Her intelligence? Her grace? Her dedication to her family? Her success?
Zekers says:
Tina reminds me of why I don't frequent this blog anymore...happily there is voice of reason present though, well said, say what?.
