Looks like Bill Cosby has decided to keep a low profile after comedian Hannibal Buress made headlines by including Cosby’s long string of alleged sexual assaults in his standup routine. Cosby cancelled an appearance onThe Queen Latifah Showto promote his own upcoming standup tour. Initial reports that it was the show that nixed the interview appear to be incorrect, or perhaps the show and Cosby have now decided to amend history a bit and claim it was Cosby’s doing. (It’s the second one.)
I'm sorry to say it, but we've had quite a few folks, of late, who do not readily recognize sarcasm. natoslug has been here forever (i.e., longer than me). And people have failed to catch his snark. Maybe we need a sarcasm font (we don't need a sarcasm font).
I read about this a week ago on another blog. (yes wonkette, I was unfaithful. I feel so dirty) What is really shocking about these allegations is that they came out so long ago and were covered in the mainstream print media and yet they were totally ignored and dropped off the radar so completely. I consider myself well informed and I had never heard of this until that comedian spoke up. How the hell did 14 people's stories, told with no hope of personal gain (for the 13 (witnessess) just get forgotten?
I has nothing but sadz for this story. Cosby was a hero, a groundbreaker, and I thought him one of the classiest guys around. Plus, he brought the funny like no one since Lenny Bruce.

We can only wish that "bless his heart" was gonna work.
Fuck. I really liked the guy thirty years ago.
Hey, hey, hey....

Not sure about Redd Foxx, whose humor never appealed to me, but Pryor came well after Cosby.
And just like that, the delicious Jello® Pudding Pop™ turned to ashes in Mr. Cosby's mouth.

Not Wonderfulness (the first comedy album I owned, not counting my parents' Alan Sherman).
Cosby!?!? Just imagine what Wilford Brimley has done. I don't want to even think about it.
