    I'm not a big fan of Lampenelli. I actually find her offensiveness too annoying. She comes on way too strong for my taste, especially when she talks about her sex life; I want to know nothing about that.

    Perhaps people don't understand the purpose of a roast. They're supposed to be wholly inappropriate. Maybe they're not supposed to be on TV. The "so-and-so fucks so many black guys" jokes and cursing and sexual content have become cliche and commonplace.

    Kimmel's joke about Chris Benoit was the only one that made me cringe at the inappropriateness, and therefore about the only joke worthy of a roast. Again, these shouldn't be on TV, but the whole point of them is to be inappropriate.

    Flav's joke on Snoop "it's not the first time you've gotten away with murder" was also a good one.

    I don't mind vulgar or offensive. Ask IJAG about the Trentonian headline I came up with for a murder victim like 10 seconds into a TV story about her death. What I mind is vulgar and unfunny. Most of the jokes in the roasts I've seen on CC (Pam Anderson, Shatner) are like the NC-17 versions of "so what's the deal with airline food?"

    And they're not playing the uncensored version yet. Maybe the 1 or 2:30 a.m.1 showings.

    1 -- Eastern time, the only time zone that matters

    Wonder if Bill Simmons had any input on the Benoit joke?

    I don't mind offensive language; I think just about everything can be funny. I just don't like Lisa Lampenelli.

    I tell you what, three months ago nobody outside the dork wrestling community would know Chris Benoit from David Benoit. And now a Benoit joke breaks out the "oh SHI" moment that a litanty of Vick/dogfighting, dick-sucking, tranny, slavery and Lisa Lampenelli jokes couldn't get. Who knew?

    Never underestimate the power of a couple murders, a suicide and The Good Book.

    And where IS Andy Dick? Did he finally become too irrelevant for this, the Hollywood Squares of the 21st century?
