You were hurt by a caricature of Monica Lewinsky? Can you provide more specifics? Don`t tell me you are THAT easily offended.
Oh Adonis, I really don't think it was me being overly sensitive, ...it was just the blistering cruelty Maher displayed.
His jabs at her were so incredibly piercing, ...by the time he was done, ...I had tears running down my cheeks.
Don't get me wrong, he had been going after her all week. She was definitely cannon fodder for the late night comics. I had sat back and laughed at all his Lewinsky jokes. I'd laughed at all the jokes by most of the late night comedians, ...even made a few of my own. But there was one particular sketch that Maher did that pierced me to the core. It was a Valentine's Day sketch, and Maher went all out for it, ...dressing up in drag. It was hilarious, but brutal. This may sound sexist, ...but I think it just might be a woman thing, ...and you may have to be a woman to get it. It was downright vicious, and completely turned my stomache to Lewinsky jokes for a while.
As for my conversation with the real estate agency, it wasn't a
"Leave Britney Alone" kind of meltdown.
It was more a very stern and resolute
"I've always enjoyed the whimsical humour you've displayed in your ads, however, I'm truly disappointed that you would choose to exploit a vulnerable young girl in this way. I think it's extremely callous, and in very poor taste." ...kind of thing. He called me up and apologized for offending me with his ad, and we had a nice discussion about it. He was pretty cool about the whole thing. He also stopped using controversial humour in his flyers too.
