Nooooo, not the actor. The fictional character. I'm sure the actor is a fine person. You do realize they play pretend people on TV shows, right? I said the 'main character', I never said the actor. Reading comprehension is a wonderful thing. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

He was great on Hollywood Squares with his sarcastic one-liners. He was even sarcastic on Bewitched, it's his trademark. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I’m getting the feeling that you want me to argue that Gays aren’t sarcastic or something. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Like I said I don't know anything about the show or the characters. But, the way it was worded was unclear. |

Huh? It was perfectly clear: "I actually loathe the MAIN CHARACTER on this show so much I'm fantasizing about her meeting Bill Cosby" Where did I say I loathe the actor? You read it the way you wanted to read it and pounced. Stop it. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Come on man.... It was totally unclear, mixing character names with real life names and claiming you hope that that the real life person will drug and rape them (the character), you don't see how this can be misread? There are many endless shows and characters that I dislike, my gut reaction is never "I hope Bill Cosby drugs and rapes them"..... At best it is obtuse.... |

Om my dear god, it's SATIRE! It's making a point by being outrageous. By saying something so over the top ludicrous it says I really can't stand the character. I shouldn't have to be explaining this to you. When a comedian says he got so mad at his wife he wanted to kill her, do you gasp in horror? Or do you get that he's using hyperbole; like I was. hy·per·bo·le /hīˈpərbəlē/ exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

But you’re not good at satire and certainly not (intentionally) funny. He was right to be confused. Bill Cosby rape “jokes”? How lame. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Hear them all the time. In the last season on Seinfeld's Coffee show, they make several references to Cosby, pretty damn funny. Do try and keep up with current trends.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
