    I've never been to an adult movie theater, but remember when there were many in Hollywood. Back in the 1980s I was called for jury duty at the Hollywood Municipal Courthouse. I ended up as a juror on a case involving a man caught "pleasuring himself" while watching the film. Apparently the police routinely walked through the theaters to catch guys. It was all pretty sleazy, and I can understand why an employer wouldn't want to be connected with it.

    Mr. Imus called them nappy heads. In Stevie Wonders song I Wish, the first line is 'Looking back on when I was a little nappy-headed boy.' Some, maybe most, consider it to be derogatory when it's more like a description. The connotation and inference is negatively perceived and Mr. Imus paid the price.

They thought the joke would last a week, Deayton took the piss out of himself, Ian brought a copy of the newspaper and then Paul Merton wore the newspaper on his tshirt, they thought that would be the end of it. But then when Deayton took the piss out of the guests and they turned around and said yeah but what about you.... it defeats the purpose of the show.

    Pee Wee Herman was a TV host: he got the same shaft that Fred Willard got. They were men _being_ men. They weren't in a classroom where little school children could see them. They weren't in a mall where John Q. Public and his frigid wife Dottie could look at them. They were in the dark, during a "routine" _shakedown_ (which meant that some sleeze-ball saw them there and called the National Enquirer at the same time they called the cops. Either that, or those rags called the cops for the bigger story about them getting arrested and booked) The irony is, that poor Billy Bush was only guilty by association. He didn't _do_ anything except listen and laugh nervously at some high-stakes asshole was basically flaunting every schoolboy's dream Fred and Pee-wee lost their jobs. Pee-wee lost his career, his credibility _and_ his character. He should definitely be on this list

    I’m still a little surprised that Tucker Carlson got fired from Fox News due to racist comments. I figured that that would get you a _promotion_ at Fox News.

    Every news outlet is bias to their own political agenda/party. Fox News isn’t alone.

    My 78 Pinto was the most reliable vehicle I'd ever owned. 150K miles when I gave it to my ex who promptly traded it. Today, I own a 1980 Shay Model A mounted on a Pinto platform. Low low miles on the 2.3 but the same reliability I remember. It's a hoot to drive with disc brakes and rack+pinion.

    @@user-cs6tg8bk6p I honestly don't have any options and I personally didn't have any problems with Dan Rather but then again when he was on TV I was far too young to understand whatever news he was talking about anyway. I also don't watch Fox News either (news channels and news stations in general I don't watch or I barely watch)
