Meh. They got Tosh.0. 
But on a related note, If Chappelle's Show were to have premiered in 2016 instead of 2004, it would have been cancelled after episode 1. It's hard to pull off the stunts Dave did on his show and survive in today's PC culture and College Safe Zones. Can you imagine if the reparations skit would have premiered right at the same time as the BLM movement was going on?!

He was trying to get it cancelled after one episode and Comedy Central/Viacom would have if it wasn't so well-received.

There is something to be said for the notion that we as a country temporarily stopped focusing on 90's style political correctness due to 9-11 and the need for therapeutic Muslim bashing. With that said, the notion that the show would have been treated differently today when at the time it was very much criticized for the nature of its content proves this to be the poor example of that phenomenon. I would point to a show like 24 basically glorifying Muslim torture instead.
What was magic about the Chappelle Show was it was this massive insensitive cultural event right before the mainstream culture fragmented into a million memes and YouTube channels. You had everyone from your limousine liberals to your KKK conservatives watching and loving the show for different reasons, and the discovery of that fact for all groups concerned made it collapse under its own weight. We don't have anything like that in the mainstream culture today, well unless you count Donald Trump I guess.

Any of you guys golfers? Looking for some golfing buddies haven't posted here in a while. Hope you ags are doing swell. I'll be in BCS this weekend meeting up with a few friends and playing a round. But I can never have enough golfing friends!

I usually play once a month or so on the campus course. It's been redone and is a lot nicer. Greens are usually pretty fast
The Bryan muni course is cheaper but not as nice. Those are the only two courses I have experience on

Usually typing "format c: *.*" in the command prompt will solve all of your computer problems. LSU fans should try it.
