bacardimayne Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) #CancelColbert is trending on Twitter in the US right now apparently. Thoughts? I think it's ridiculous. The joke was a bit distasteful but cancelling the Colbert Report over it? Fuck off. Sad thing is I can't see this blowing over.

Estranged Reality Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 it's...it's...it's almost like people are too dumb to realize colbert is a satirical character lampooning conservative talk show pundits? whaaaat?talk about idiocy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 They can't cancel Colbert, that and The Daily Show are the flagships of Comedy Central. Regardless, I don't see why he should come under fire so heavily. He's completely satirical, everyone knows he doesn't actually believe the shit he says. Someone probably just got butthurt over this.

rhiad85 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 They make a loud noise but it's okay for their national media to insult caucasians and foreigners.. and their insults aren't even satirical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronaldo9 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Here's the context of the tweet (related part starts around 4:48 in the video): http://thecolbertreport.cc.com/videos/b6cwb3/sport-report---professional-soccer-toddler--golf-innovations---washington-redskins-charm-offensiveIt's poking fun at Dan Snyder's new Washington Redskins Original Americans Foundation. As others have said, don't know what you can do when some people don't pick up on the obvious satire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR DOOM Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I've known a fair few Chings and Chongs along the way, I'm not sure how it's racist when there are hundreds of thousands of people with those surnames out there...is Tommy Chong going to sue?

Guest Len B'stard Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Perhaps its not that they dont understand that its satire but rather dont appreciate being chosen as the subject? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Len B'stard Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) Well there you go then, thats why the react the way they do, cuz that sort of attitude is behind the satire, that it results in a 'fuck you', it aint like a blow being struck here.People maybe just dont appreciate being put on blast like that...you can do it with them but how do you think it would work if the satire in question utilised the dreaded N Bomb or the term 'spear-chucker', no one'd have it.I dont necessarily agree with any of it, just highlighting that perhaps its not only a case of them not getting that its satire.
