Oh, Bill! You devil!

A friend sent me a forward of some of Bill Mahr's "New Rules". I don't see his show, I assume this is a desk piece. They were typical "I'm cranky! I'm the Gen X Andy Rooney who finger-slams Playmates in their collagen-plumped labia! Rrrrah! Grrr! Huff and puff!!" fare, nothing too amazing. But this one rankled me.

13. New Rule: No more gift registries. You know, it used to be just
>> for
>> weddings. Now it's for babies and new homes and graduations from
>> rehab.
>> Picking up the stuff you want and having other people buy it for you
>> isn't
>> gift giving, it's the white people version of looting.

Because only negroes and them other kindsa coloreds loot. Thanks, Bill! Now, go freebase some more Rogaine you turd.

It sounds like something that asshole Larry The Cable Guy would say. Makes me embarrassed AND angry at the same time. Ick. For me to say something is in poor taste takes a helluva lot.

Sometimes I do think Bill Mahr can be funny though- full disclosure. This is not one of those times.

Thanks Ms. Brister, if ya nasty! I find them to be a delightful invention and only wish I could distrubute them prior to frat parties as my own special form of community service.

Is it possible that Bill was actually saying it sarcastically? Given the hurricane and all. I suspect he was trying to be subversive, but came across as literally racist.
