Morning-after pills with your dinner check?

Check out the deleted part of the restaurant scene in the Monty Python's The Meaning of Life DVD: "Will you be having intercourse tonight?"

I keep thinking that a crucial point has been missed. To fill in the blanks:

... it will set off a fuck wave that will never include him, and women will be out on the streets humping even fire hydrants ...

I think I'll name my first-born Margaret.

Well this would be hilarious (indeed is hilarious) if she hadn't felt the need to add in the arab-trill during Hurricane Poontang. I found it a tad inappropriate/disrespectful, even though she was sticking up for their bodily integrity and human rights.

I saw Margaret Cho at some benefit last year. Can't say I enjoyed the show. I agree with her; I just don't find her comedy very funny. The whole "asian mother impersonations" are especially grating.

macfrugal, I completely agree with you. For the most part I like her politics but (with the exception of the word "fuckwave") I've never actually found her comedy funny.

I love every minute of her raunchy, no holds bar comedy. And I was one of the three people who actually watched All American Girl when it was on the air (loved the episode of when her mom and dad opened the porn section of their video store).

I got to see her perform this when she came to L.A. and it was great fun. And I don't understand why people are offended at her making fun of her mom, pretty much every single ethnic (and even non) comedian makes fun of their parents at some point, some with accents (Godfred comes to mind, his father is African and he pulled out the African accent) and some not but it's a staple of comedy. Margaret just happens to be Korean, so her mom is Korean.

Lisa Lampanelli is WAY funnier. Check out the last two minutes of this clip:

i love m.cho! But, I dislike the faux-feminist preoccupation with muslim women's *clothing* as sexually oppressive.
