SORRY, WE DON'T SIGN FAMILY ACTS: 95% of what I was going to say about my interest in Penn Jillette's Sundance feature The Aristocrats has already been written by Nick Gillespie. So go there to learn about a documentary that's just 100 comedians each giving their version of the same joke, and make sure to follow the links to the WaPo article and to Gilbert Gottfried's post-9/11 riff on it. To say that this movie will be divisive is an understatement.
"The Aristocrats" joke itself is about the filthiest one there is, even more deeply offensive, at its best, than the "The Most Offensive Song Ever" from Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics. But that's the point.
Don't believe me? Watch Eric Cartman tell the joke. (Or read a transcript.) (Last two links exceptionally NSFW).
Rather interesting. Has few times re-read for this purpose to remember. Thanks for interesting article. Austin.
