The White House Will Have to Waste Time Addressing a Joke From ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’

The White House Will Have to Waste Time Addressing a Joke From ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’

A petition has been signed by enough people to address a joke during segment on Jimmy Kimmel Live that was apparently offensive to Chinese people.

The White House will now have to take a little, but still precious time away from solving The Affordable Health Care Act or other foreign policy debacles we shouldn’t be involved in just to deal with something that the Internet can just argue over until both sides get tired and further entrenched.

The ‘That’s Not Funny’ Documentary Is Giving Another Go at Kickstarter

Director Mike Celestino fell short of his first try at Kickstarter with his great documentary project “That’s Not Funny”, a dissecting of what’s offensive in comedy. Thankfully, he’s giving it another go with a slightly different approach, by raising a smaller amount of money to go throughout a city like LA to do interviews and more.

This was a very intriguing project when we first saw it and has a lot of great and qualified people (Paul Provenza, Greg Proops, Jackie Kashian, Kyle Kinane, and more) to comment on the topic of where the line is or if there is even a line in comedy, so we recommend you donate if you can to make it happen.

Paul Provenza, Kyle Kinane, Jackie Kashian, Greg Proops, and more have already been interviewed for this documentary in the making, That’s Not Funny. Director Mike Celestino is searching for answers as to where the “line” is, whether there should be a line at all, and more in this film.

Still, he needs funds to help finish the film and get more interviews in. This could be something really great and, at the very least, watch the interview bytes and then, hopefully donate because this is something that we want to watch.
