NEVER AGAIN Mr. Jerry Lewis

Sep 4th, 2007

Words that I’m sure push buttons for Mr. Jerry Lewis. Now hear it in a new context Mr. Lewis: Never again will I donate to your organization. Admissions of poor choice of words and after-the-fact apologies just don’t cut it anymore. Maybe I’m being too sensitive. Well, when I have the same rights as everyone else in this country (i.e. marriage, military & many many more) PERHAPS I will be less sensitive. I’m tired of being the butt (pardon the pun) of the jokes from Leno to Maher- and I don’t care how much they say they aren’t “really” homophobic.

    I have a feeling this was his last telethon.

    On a lighter note, the GLAAD statement mentioned the audience’s reaction. I couldn’t help but think, “There’s an audience for the MDA telethon?” I guess I’d never noticed.

    And who’d have thought after the Janet Jackson nipple slip that we might need a time-delay in case of offensive disaster during… the MDA telethon?

    I never liked Jerry Lewis’ comedy anyway.

    Well, I can’t say I ever expected news like this come from Jerry Lewis. I had to read the article 3 times to make sure I wasn’t reading it wrong. How would he think it could be funny?

    “Heeey nice laaaaaady”

    Good riddance.

    Jim Carrey has taken it to an entirely new level.

    I have a feeling this was his last telethon.

    He really should have quit years ago. I mean I do appreciate all the work he has done for that ORG and- basically provided the public with the model of celebrity fundraising. We all make faux pas, but live on TV, you really have to be sensitive. I may have expected this from someone like Don Rickles but someone as iconic as Lewis (in spite of being an exhausted octogenarian) should know better. Writing about it helps.
