Does such comedy appeal to educated people or merely the lower classes / lowbrow individuals?
I found the drug overdosed dead comic Greg Giraldo to be downright offensive. Just wondering if people can see vulgarity and disrespect for humanity for what it is, rather than to think it's actually HUMOR.
Jack Benny, Milton Berle, Bob Hope and the comedians of old never had to use profanity, attack people with disabilities or the mentally challenged nor resort to mocking religious beliefs. They took the high road and poked fun at themselves. Today, a man who was a raging alcoholic, divorced, re-married and looking at separating when he "accidentally" overdosed is considered hysterically funny by some...but clearly not all people. Was it humor or was it his own bitterness and inner demons that we saw and heard on stage? Now YOU get to be the judge, not him.
