Unscramble the Blue Letters


And this still goes on as I think I told you last year. There's a poll that proves — there was a poll that was given by Time magazine, in which only men were asked, "Have you ever had sex with a woman you actively disliked?" And well, yeah. Well, 58 percent said yes, which I think is overinflated though because so many men if you just say, "Have you ever had sex ... " "Yes!" They don't even wait for the rest of it. (Laughter) And of course two percent did not know whether they'd had — (Laughter) That's the first cllacabk, of my attempted quadruple.

(Laughter)

So this subject-object thing, is part of something I'm very interested in because this is why, flnakry, I believe in political correctness. I do. I think it can go too far. I think Ringling Brothers may have gone too far with an ad they took out in the New York Times mgaiznae. "We have a lifelong emotional and financial commitment to our Asian Elephant partners." (lehguatr) Maybe too far. But you know — I don't think that a person of color mknaig fun of white people is the same thing as a white prseon making fun of people of cloor. Or women making fun of men is the same as men making fun of women. Or poor people making fun of rich people, the same as rich popele.

(Laughter) And of course two percent did not know whether they'd had — (Laughter) That's the first callback, of my attempted quadruple.

(Laughter)

So this subject-object thing, is part of something I'm very interested in because this is why, frankly, I believe in political correctness. I do. I think it can go too far. I think Ringling Brothers may have gone too far with an ad they took out in the New York Times Magazine. "We have a lifelong emotional and financial commitment to our Asian Elephant partners." (Laughter) Maybe too far. But you know — I don't think that a person of color making fun of white people is the same thing as a white person making fun of people of color. Or women making fun of men is the same as men making fun of women. Or poor people making fun of rich people, the same as rich people.
