The funny thing is that there was a moment when the expected happened – people manufactured outrage and polished their “I’m offended” cards, and there were reasonable people who thought, “here we go again”.

This is entertainment. He’s a comedian. Do we really want someone who just confirms everything that we already believe? Do we want to laugh at only hot pocket jokes, or is it ok to be uncomfortable?
Why do we insist that a comedian hosting a show on tv be as liberal, atheist, feminist, etc as we are?
I don’t know about you, but I bore the shit out of me. Why would I want to watch another me on tv?
Give him a chance.
