Sarah Silverman Has Been Canceled
- smt88 7y agoNo, she hasn't. Some execs thought one of her old sketches would be controversial and that people wouldn't care about its context. We know they would because Robert Downey Jr was not canceled for his blackface role in Tropic Thunder. To be "canceled" implies a group of consumers telling others to ignore her -- that didn't happen here. There's some galling hypocrisy here: Reason supposedly advocates for unregulated markets, and now they decry the capriciousness of the invisible hand. In the end, this article is a thin attempt to tar "the left" as hypocrites, and it largely demonstrates Reason to be the hypocrites.
- joelx 7y agoSarah Silverman is possibly one of the least funny people ever. perhaps the producers of her new show realize that now and are using this as an excuse to get out of the contract.
