On the news segment about Jenna Talackova, I’m curious to see how she fairs against the ladies who were “natural born females.” I think the lesson to glean from this, is that the contest is quite ridiculous to start with; really, just think about how a group of people judge a bunch of hotties as they mince about a stage in their bathing suits and say stupid, rehearsed BS; and we’re all supposed to take their title seriously? Are they going off to cure cancer? I am pretty sure it’s just a ploy to gather all of the worlds hot chicks in one room so a small group of dudes involved with the contest have a chance to bang them (an act of pure genius, maybe evil-genius.) Being a trans-gendered contestant throws a wrench in the super-sexist gears, and really helps to expose how absurd this institution is.
Besides, I don’t think it’s fair, since having a customized, chemically, hormonally and surgically altered body gives you a total leg up on the “natural” competition. It’s like a bunch of kids entering a box-car competition and one kid gets NASA to design the ultimate entry into the race.

Yeah, whether I agree with Adam’s point or not, if it stops being funny I fast forward too.

Funny: Adam mad about keys, food, kids, ketchup packets, etc.
Funny: Alison’s comments and BB’s drops.
Funny: Larry Miller & DAG

Not funny: Adam mad about problems in other cultures. (Black, Mexican, People who like reggae)
Not funny: Car racing.

Adam is a comedian and storyteller. The podcast is a place for entertainment. It won’t be perfect and we’ll hear things with which we disagree. Adam says some stuff that is troubling but he doesn’t seem to be hate-mongering or race-baiting for ratings. These are the opinions of a successful laugh man. When it gets to be too much, you skip it. Carolla doesn’t pretend to be qualified to make policy. He doesn’t presume objectivity. He doesn’t pretend he’s not out for a laugh. Let’s disagree where appropriate and listen to a free podcast for what it’s worth. Carolla’s got a fairly good batting average and when he strikes out… ah well, tomorrow’s podcast is still free.

On the race issues – if any of you have black friends that feel like you respect them enough that they can afford to be honest with you without reinforcing some stupid stereotype, you’ll see that some folk say some of the same stuff Adam says… just not openly. Why? Because racists tend to point out those issues. But raising those issues doesn’t makes someone a racist.

Carolla observes that fewer teen pregnancies and good parenting would improve society. No one should have to whisper that. HOWEVER to say that bad life choices in the black community are the reason that Mr. Zimmerman (the man shot Trayvon Martin) was not arrested is a bridge too far. That’s about race. To say that police officers stop everybody because they’ve got control issues and don’t target black people is a bridge too far.

I don’t know anyone who would agree that Oprah and Obama’s success mean that society isn’t racist. It just means that we don’t live under a system of absolute apartheid and that combinations of hard work (or what Adam calls a “motor”), opportunity and good fortune can yield success – or at least a good life. Again, no one should have to whisper that. Generally it’s true. That’s why most of the black people you know have jobs, love their kids and pay their taxes… and a dozen or so of us listen to the Adam Carolla show.

Funny to have a couple guys that have created nothing but retarded movies smackin on Chevy Chase. Too funny. Dropped out when the single sided race talk started again – god dam, drop that shit.

it’s weird that you would cite Ace’s coverage of the Clementi case, since he didn’t know what the hell he was talking about.

why does Adam keep saying the media has an agenda? and if he’s going to do that he should admit that he has one too.
and giving the examples of Obama and Oprah and saying “that proves the country isn’t racist anymore” is a really dumb argument.
