Why is comedy the only form of the arts where people think they have to agree with or approve the content? You don't walk through a museum with a towel and throw it over paintings you don't like.

Jim NortonMy whole existence is spent just trying to not shove bad food in my fat face. It's like a constant struggle. I'll do really good for a while, and then I do bad, then I do really good.
Jim NortonIt just seems like right now weโre in a place where people are being witch-hunted for expressing an opinion. Even if itโs a lousy opinion or a shitty opinion, and comics I donโt think can ever fall into the trap of any groups that want to censor what a person says or thinks or punish a person for expressing what they think. Anything you say about a social issue is going to offend half the country. I donโt care how nicely you say it, I donโt care how well you construct the joke, simply by stating the opinion, you are for something and anti something else.
