I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I would expect the Eddie Murphy episode would get SNL's highest rating in years. I know I had a "wow" moment when I read the news.

SNL' cast member responds to past racist, sexist, homophobic remarks

And now Gillis is out because of those remarks.
Ridiculous.

on the other, Gilli's jokes weren't at all funny and smell like mean-spirited isms without any depth

on another hand, cancel culture has run amok

on another hand, Lorne Michaels booked Trump to host and he gets to keep his job

my mind spins in circles. it'll probably land on some combination of "the free market at work dictates the show can hire any number of talented comedians who haven't takes gross shots at minorities."
Youre not wrong on any account but im leaning more towards"cancel culture has run amok"

Could you imagine if we ran Eddie Murphy off stage for some of his comments?
