Petition to get Daniel Tosh taken off the air →
change.org
Daniel Tosh, offensive jokester extraordinaire, crossed the line a few days ago in a comedy club. During a skit in which he made jokes about rape, a young woman stood up in protest of the offensive jokes. In response, Daniel Tosh “joked” about how “funny” it would be if she were to be raped by “like five guys” right then. His jokes continued and the young woman had to flee in fear.
This takes offensive joking to the next level. Tosh did not simply make jokes about rape, which is bad enough as it is, but he used his “jokes” in such a threatening way that a young woman ran away to maintain her safety. He used his jokes to silence a person who was concerned with the nature of them.
Anniversary of a Universe happening.
Ten years ago today, my father died from kidney and heart failure. He was only 68. He was an alcoholic (though he never admitted it) and chose to live an unhealthy lifestyle. There was nothing I can do to stop any of it. All I can do is accept what the universe has given me.
Today, I still strive to become a better me. I admit that I do at times cling to my past and wish I can change how I grew up. One day at a time, I step away from thinking like that and live in the present. My serenity starts with me.
