I confess that Fashion Police was my guilty pleasure because of her insults. She really was one of the funniest comediennes ever.

No comment.

If you have no comment, then don't comment.

It's a symbolic no comment.

And this is a symbolic finger that I often raise when people intentionally bash those that have just died.

No comment...... oh never mind.

ALLAHU AKBHAR!

Dying doesn't turn bad people into good people.

Maplebitch, maybe you should try, and we will get back to you

A very funny comic who had a great career. Hard to be sad when someone dies at 81, but since she wasn't slowing down at all she could have had another twenty years like George Burns.

I can't imagine what Putin33 can find to hate about her.

Uhhhhh she very publicly spoke out in favour of the Palestinian Genocide until her foul voice was silenced. Thank God.

Oh dear, a Jewish public figure using her influence in the public. Oh no, she didn't say it nicely? Dearie me, how could Joan Rivers do such a thing?! I couldn't see Joan Rivers saying anything offensive about anyone!

She said she's glad all the Palestinian civilians are dead and they deserved to die, bosox. That's indefensible.

But I'm sure a bunch of you will make any criticism of Joan Rivers = anti-semitism.

So predictable and so nauseating.

She couldn't die slowly or painfully enough to suit me. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Putin, I've never tried to defend anything she said. I never will. She said horrible things about Palestine that, despite your past insistence without any evidence, I'd never even come close to saying or defending. I'm just amazed that, after over 70 years of offensive content that would have gotten anyone but a comic kicked out of the public eye, is anyone really surprised about what she said? Does it really shock you that Joan Rivers would say the most extreme and offensive things humanly possible?

All I'm saying, as is written in the OP, is that she was a hilarious comic and an absolute legend and icon in the advancement of women's rights and equality worldwide.

No, you're trying to shame everybody into kissing this woman's ass when she gloated over massive civilian casualties in Gaza. We're not allowed to criticize anything this horrible woman said, because you like her.

Lol, this is like the people that criticized Nelson Mandela after he died and called him a terrorist because of his short-lived actions with the ANC when it was a violent group. You're taking one aspect of her life that pretty clearly should not define her given everything else she did and trying to overshadow the rest of her accomplishments and achievements with it.

You're comparing Joan Rivers to Nelson Mandela?

Can you be any more absurd right now?

Holy fucking lord Putin, how do you draw these conclusions?

NO.

I'm comparing *your idiotic analysis of Joan Rivers' legacy* based on a single quote about Palestine to those that overlooked everything Nelson Mandela did because he was involved in the early ANC and took part in the violence.

I'm anti-Putin.
Putin is irrelevant.

Mandela would have no credibility if he hadn't fought in the ANC. He has nothing to apologize for for fighting to end apartheid.

Your analogy is stupid.

Mandella is a celebrity jail-bird and former radical. If they hadn't have thrown him in jail and he had continued in his vile ways, he'd be villified by history. Then he's released and does what any variety of people would have done -- it was less Mandella and more lucky guy in the right moment of history -- if he hadn't of done it, someone else would have. Nothing to see here....move along, move along.

Joan Rivers broke through sexist barriers and did things others before her were unable to do. An American Hero.

What sexist barriers did that disgusting Yenta break through?

maple - unless you wish to behave in a civilized manner, there is no need to reply to my posts, because I am exercising my power of IGNORE to replies such as yours.

Have a wonderful night. Try to be happy.

Vile ways? So resisting apartheid is "vile" now? Not surprised coming from our resident Klansman.

Yeah, it's "lucky" to endure 26 years on Robben Island.

If he's so lucky, why don't you volunteer to do the same?

Anybody else remember this vile cun.....errrrrrrr American hero's constant bashing of Elizabeth Taylor? I suggest that Taylor was SLIGHTLY more talented than that useless whore.

Rivers perpetuated sexist barriers and bad body image, she didn't break anything. That's why Krellin loves her.

I think Joan Rivers's reaction to Joan Rivers's death would have been something like "You're dead you self-centered obnoxious old hag!" Why is everyone else getting all sentimental?

People actually question that Joan Rivers broke barriers? Wow, I've never encountered that kind of ignorance before on here...

Joan Rivers wore out her welcome with meanness. I wouldn't wish anyone ill, but people who make a living treating people like shit don't deserve to be remembered well.

Now, now, Joan made fun of people with cancer and relatives of people who died in fatal accidents (and she did this for a living), but people like Invictus can't imagine why anybody would hate her, and the bosox's of the world can't imagine why we aren't lining up to kiss her ass.

No one wants you to kiss her ass fucktard, just show some respect for the recently deceased

She never respected anyone recently deceased. Why should she be any different? Go away.

Who cares what she thought about Palestinians? She was funny. If we had to agree with the political opinions of an entertainer to enjoy their performance then we'd never be satisfied.

Her 'humor' was nothing but ridiculing people's appearances, racist jokes, and making fun of people with cancer. Not surprised you find that funny. But I'm going to express reverence for this horrible pile of trash of a human being.

*not

No need for scare quotes around humor. Humor is subjective. You may not have found her funny. Fine. She certainly was a brutal comic. I happen to think that anything can be funny if the joke is well crafted. But you, I gather, would disagree.

You think everything that is nasty is funny.

Not at all what I said.

True nonetheless.

No it isn't. How can you possibly claim to know what I personally find funny?

I'm still confused. How did she NOT break barriers for female comics?

You claim to be on facebook just to enjoy the knowledge that people you know have ruined their lives.

That's the kind of person you are.

You always leap to the defense of the nasty.

Blast from the past. Yeah, I like seeing people who were assholes in high school now be fat or have shitty jobs.

Even if you interpret that in the least charitable way possible, it's still a big leap to say I think everything nasty is funny. For one, enjoyment =/= thinking something is funny. And now you're talking about defense of the nasty?

It's hard to follow what you're saying. But what reasoanble argument could you possibly be making, since you're claiming to have perfect knowledge of my personal opinions on humor. You always make it out like you know everything there is to know about everything, but this is a bit much.

No you didn't say assholes, you said people who were attractive but that didn't date you. Because you're entitled to sleep with everybody, apparently.

"But what reasoanble argument could you possibly be making, since you're claiming to have perfect knowledge of my personal opinions on humor. "

How much more knowledge is really required, you've been on here as long or longer than I have. I've gotten more than enough exposure to your brand of 'comedy'.

It's in the archive. Find it. I would never say something like that.
