Christ, I'd expect this shit, this ignorant obnoxious behavior, from Rush Limbaugh. A comedy producer is telling the world that one of the greatest comedians of the past 50 years should be silenced forever.
Seems to me they did this to Chaplin. They exiled him to Switzerland. We haven't learned much have we?
If you don't know much about Apatow, he's the guy who scored a big hit with a cringeworthy comedy called "40 Year Old Virgin," which I didn't find funny. He produced "Knocked Up" (about a pregnant man, ha ha, how original). I didn't bother to see it. He produced a few other lousy films that 30-somethings think are funny. Oh yeah, "Bridesmaids." The big deal there is a fat girl takes a dump. Ha ha.
THIS is the guy to tell venues around the country to boycott Cosby?
Anything else, Judd? Maybe we should burn every episode of "I Spy." And "The Bill Cosby Show" (where he played a gym instructor). And yeah "The Cosby Show." And the movies. And definitely, let's be like those people down South who broke Beatles albums. Break every single Cosby album. Go from door to door and make sure that everybody gives up their Cosby albums.
What next? Maybe Bob Hope records and movies? He cheated on his wife for 50 solid years, Judd.
And what's your stand on Woody Allen? Are you with Mia and Dylan Farrow? Dylan said he molested her. Surely that's good enough for you. Ban every Woody Allen movie.
Next?
Oh, maybe you should remind Jews they should never buy a Volkswagen. Never go to a Wagner opera.
What else?
Cosby didn't kill anyone. Manson did. Manson is getting married. Are you going to go to the prison and beat on the door and scream "STOP! STOP!" over and over? Hell, if there's anyone who objects to the union, let him speak now, right? Go ahead. And since you're a famous producer, YOUR word should be heard above all others.
A very full audience in Florida on last Friday evening enjoyed Cosby's show. They separated his private life from his art. You can't.
America. Obama is President here. Obama might NOT be President right now if not for Bill Cosby. Sounds far-fetched? How many people in this world got their first respect for a black man being equal...because they saw Bill Cosby on stage? Who was the Jackie Robinson of television? It was Cosby on "I Spy."
Unbelievable. Just UNBELIEVABLE.
Where does it end? Why not go to the prison in New York, with a shot gun, and blow Mark Chapman's head off? Don't you think giving him life in prison was too good for him? Take out David "Son of Sam" Berkowitz, too. Your view should be everyone's view. Your idea of justice should be everybody's. After all, you produced a few film comedies. You are Mr. Powerful. Christ, does power corrupt.
You should be ashamed of yourself. What kind of Hollywood liberal are you? The kind that would tell stadiums not to book Ted Nugent? He's a gun nut, after all. Forget some bimbo who tried to use her charms to get ahead by flirting with Cosby. Let's talk about Nugent. His support of guns influenced somebody to buy a gun and kill somebody or something. Don't be naive and deny THAT.
Where in the world does it end?
The world according to Judd. There are probably some conservatives who think your movies are degenerate. Would you want somebody to take the law into their own hands and make sure you never make a movie again?
Maybe Judd knows a law book I don't know of. It seems to me he's reading "Mein Kampf."
I wouldn't even say "O.J. Simpson can't perform anymore." If he gets out of jail, he served his time. If somebody wants to picket his lecture, go ahead. If somebody wants to pressure a venue to not book him? That's pretty sanctimonious. What are you afraid of? Let the public decide. If they want to hear OJ Simpson (or Michael Vick or those assholes who picket the graves of soldiers) that's their call. If they choose not to buy tickets, that sends a message. Censorship is very, very tricky Judd.
Judd doesn't have much to say about Putin? About Isis? About Kim Jong-Il? About any other of his fellow celebrities? AMAZING. Fucking AMAZING. But he figures any venue that hasn't canceled Cosby should be pressured to do so. For how long? Forever, I guess.
Why not just tell everyone to storm Cosby's home, tie him up like the Frankenstein monster, and throw him to the lake and drown him?
Heil Apatow.
