Its their intent to offend, that is their brand of comedy, they are not the first ones to do this and will not be the last.

Except Eddie Murphy didn't spew Chinese propaganda garbage about just how awful everything having to do with America is.


And he was actually funny.


It's no coincidence that today's Hollywood is awash in Chinese cash. They are now its biggest market.

Eddie Murphy was never overtly political.

She gets people to hate her and she gets attention. That's what she wants.

But it's just not true. The truth is the Lefty media now does nothing but lie, and the Right - while certainly not perfect - tells the truth.


For full disclosure I was once, and very recently, a Democrat. I came to these conclusions myself, and had to move to the Right to see the truth.


Does it mean Right Wing politics is inherently superior? Perhaps, maybe not.


But right now, the cold hard reality, is all the latter organizations you named lie about everything. Provably. I have seen it with my own eyes and cannot deny it.


And, for the most part, the organizations formerly cited act with veracity.

Your side has a congress woman that said the California wild fires were started by Jewish space lasers. You can leave now.

No corporate anecdotes (cool story bro!) can change that.


A year from now we're taking this country back.
Yea yea just like Mexico is gonna pay for the wall, just like Trump was gonna beat Biden by a landslide. You all are pathetic. Suck it snowflakes.

Yea they do. You really think teenager and college don't watch stoner comedies. It's sad how much you wish people hated them like you but they dont.

One trait they share with prety much all performers and politicians.

I had to look up who Seth Rogan was. I don't recall seeing anything he is in. I know who Sarah Silverman is mainly from seeing her stand up comedy shows and guesting on Letterman a long time ago. I'm 51. Pretty sure "Santa, Inc." isn't being made for my age group

The thing is, it's not even funny. I watched the trailer. I get it. They are trying puposely to stir up anger from Christians and conservatives, etc. You know, all edgy with the cursing, etc. liberal use of the "F" word, blatant in-your-face anti-white, etc. Okay. What else is new right now? Do they think most White Christians don't know yet that they and their traditions are under attack? Please give me a break.

But, it's not even funny. Is it genuinely entertaining to anyone? It's really like something from Idiocracy. Do they get that?

Would they be OK with a cynical and vulgar animation special about Jewish traditions? Or would that be anti-semitic.

Maybe we need a word for "anti-Christian?"

i will hold my Christian and European traditions and culture close to my heart. I have to wonder at times if they are actually jealous of us.
