    This is way better than the post I typed up yesterday but scrapped.
     
  3. Yeah I mean. Streaming is like 1% of what Apple does. The rest of it is like, running sweat shops in China

    I mean Jason explained the difference between getting a podcast on iTunes/apple music and getting a podcast on spotify already. The anger surrounding the Tentatrash thing was that they made a good decision and then undid it.

    Yeah and I made it really clear I don't care. I could deflect and say it's not like apple don't have the power to take off Jones's podcast. in reality, he shouldn't have a platform anywhere and I just see a lot of performative bullshit about this. Again - you're not making some grand difference by switching platforms. I don't think this is the hill you guys need to be dying on lol.

    anyway in actually important news, this August will be four years since IS committed a genocide against Assyrians and Yazidis in Iraq, so maybe throw your dollars at Shlama Foundation and Yazda Org, let them know a fluffy Assyrian socialist online has been educating you and you're sorry people aren't doing more to help.

    Sacha Baron Cohen Uses a ‘Pedophile Detector’ on Roy Moore – And ‘Faulty’ Device Goes Off (Video)

    I'm sick and tired of those associated with 'the left' trying to bring humor to expose the disgusting people on the right. How about profiling a convicted pedophile that is in jail, and telling the public 'Roy Moore is the same as this guy.' Making fun of it just makes those doing the actual work of bring down the GOP look stupid, and I'm tired of defending myself against them. Put your platform to good use and work on something that matters like VOTER TURNOUT!
     
  11. Nah that show rules to me lol

    Yeah, like you're doing now complaining about someone being mean to Roy "I dated teenagers as a 30 year old" Moore. TOTALLY off base to call him a pedophile.:eyeroll:

    Not complaining about them calling him a pedophile...just saying humor isn't the best vehicle for that message.

    If you want a serious take, there are PLENTY of outlets for that. However, comedy & satire are a viable and effective way to make a point.

    Humor can break down barriers surrounding subjects that are uncomfortable to talk about in the first place.

    And besides, with the way the news cycle moves I bet most people have forgotten what a piece of shit Roy Moore is. What Cohen is doing is for shock value but it has served as an effective reminder.

    Exactly. Look at what happened with Jason Spencer. That wouldn't have happened without this show.
