<p>Shameless has had a number of better nudie scenes than the True Detective, and Game of Thrones has had better ones too. You seem obsessed with her Jegga.</p>

<p>I havent seen shameless thanks for letting me know though I will check it out , I have seen the first season of game of thrones which was great I agree. Obsessions a strong word, i havent seen the scene since it was on last year. </p> -

OK so it is not a typical series but "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart is huge in the states and elsewhere. He anounced that he would retire this year and the hunt for a successor was on.......and No........this is not an April fools joke!!!! Trevor Noah is the man!!! I am absolutely stoked for him! That is one huge gig dude! We've got all his dvd's and we still watch some of them when we get homesick.....the guy is hilarious and taking that comedy to the States in a primetime slot is unbelievable.....<br><br>
Take a look......Trevor Noah- Coming to America..<br><br>
-
<p>I've watched as much Trevor Noah stuff as I can on You Tube. He's bloody funny.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Apparently he's already in the shit for comments he's made on twitter in the past - sexist and anti semitic. I read the supposed anti semitic ones and one was just about Israel (and not even a little bit anti semitic) and the other was about rappers having Jewish managers, which is an old joke that I've heard other black comics make quite often.</p> -
<p>That was excellent, he's a funny guy. Really cool to see the Daily Show show some nuts and pick someone from leftfield. Agree entirely ETS, it is a HUGE gig. I hope he goes great guns</p>

<p>Yeah shows you how careful you should be about what you tweet etc. Some of the right wing nutters dug up six year old tweets to have a go at him......all pretty lame stuff in the end........Being a political satire, The Daily Show could'nt have asked for better publicity than the negative press he is getting........</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Edit: Keep this away from David Pocock... :yes:</p> -
Yes, those right wing nutters from.....Salon.com.<br><br>
If that's rightwing what the hell is leftwing and what is Fox News?<br><br>
Interesting comments about Jewish girls. No doubt it also wouldn't be an issue if a white comedian said the same thing about black girls? Double standard much? -

<p>Have you got links to those - I didn't see any about Jewish girls, just women in general.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Edit: I got off my lazy ass and looked myself, that was the article I read last night, but it didn't have the going down Jewish girls/German car one.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Still don't think any of them are antisemitic - the general women stuff is going to be the stuff that gets him in trouble.</p>

<p>Goodness! Just saw that now.....so he managed to upset the left and right within the first 48 hours of getting the job! Front page on Fox and Salon.............Going to be interesting to see if this sticks?? In the old days you could burn a paper trail.....not so easy with social media heh?</p> -
American right-wingers are the least of his problems. Its not like they watch the show. Its the so-called progressives and forever offended he has to worry about.<br><br>
Nepia: I think his mother might have been part Jewish. At any rate, that's a pretty weak defence. Personally, I find the double-standard more offensive than anything he has said or written. -

<p>Soooo, he has to worry about you??</p> -
Er no. Nice try though.

<p>I don't think anyone is suggesting it's a defence.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>TBH I don't <em>really</em> know what the double standard you were talking about in the post previously was about. Wouldn't a double standard suggest that Noah (and I assume we're considering him black for the purpose of this double standard) wouldn't be getting any flack for this post, when he clearly is as evidenced by this article?</p> -

If that wasn't a defence then what was the point of mentioning it? I'm curious as to whether you would jump to his defence if he was a paler shade. Hence the double standard.<br><br>
To be honest the only thing I find offensive about his posts are that they're criminally unfunny. -

<p>I still don't know what you mean.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You mentioned the 'double standard' in the post of yours I replied to before I apparently 'jumped' to his defence.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I mentioned his background because your analogy didn't work, it really has no relevance to this discussion.</p> -
Why didn't it work? <br><br>
Replace Jewish girls with Maori girls. Would you have found that offensive? Or is that perfectly acceptable if you're part Maori? -

<p>Firstly, as I said above if you follow the thread timeline you had thrown out that 'double standard' line before I had even commented on on that tweet - had you somehow read my mind or were you pre-white knighting?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>These were your comments before my post:</p>
<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote">No doubt it also wouldn't be an issue if a white comedian said the same thing about black girls?
<p> </p>
</blockquote>
<p>What is your point? This is clearly an issue, which is why these articles are being written about it.</p>
<p> </p>
<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote">Double standard much?
<p> </p>
</blockquote>
<p>What double standard were you meaning at this stage?</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Secondly, I said that comment wasn't antisemitic, I didn't say it wasn't offensive. Although it's probably less offensive than if he'd said they go down as quick as the other players.</p>
