Who is Hannibal Buress, or Bill Cosby: Rape and Pudding Pops

That jumped out at me, too, and it immediately had me thinking about Eddie Murphy's bit about Cosby in Raw.

 

It sucks if you grew up in the 60's and 70's watching Chet Kincaid or Fat Albert.


edit: I agree with those that say that the women being believed is most important. But this was a guy that I grew up enjoying and "respecting" (as much as I ever respected someone I don't know).

 

I was much more enamored as a kid with Picture Pages and his comedy albums than I was the Cosby Show.

 

That's what I'm getting at, too. I'd rather know than not know. And knowing (assuming it's all true), I'd rather he be held accountable than not.

But it certainly forces me to re-calibrate my memories of a lot of Thursday nights in front of the TV with my family growing up.

 

I ate a shitload of his Pudding Pops.

 

Hindsight and all that - but I always found his palling around with Hefner at the Playboy Jazz Fest to be at odds with his "family man" image (whether he was a big jazz guy or not). Also found it odd that his co-stars on the Cosby Show always referred to him as "Mr. Cosby" and he insisted on his William Cosby Ed.D credit in the end credits. Clearly, he did a lot of good and was a great role model for generations with his work on The Electric Company and Fat Albert, but there was more to the story.

 

Tons and tons of rape, it turns out.

 

So what was the expletive rant? Something about a plane and asshole?

 

From the sound of it, so did his accusers.
You had a lot more say in the matter.

 

There's no plane, Asshole. I think to the prosecutor who is worried that he might flee.

 

The prosecutors were trying to revoke bail on the grounds that he was a flight risk because Cosby owns a private jet. Cosby yelled at him, "He doesn't have a plane, you asshole!"

 

Thanks lakefront and Batman.

That’s not much of an expletive-laced rant, in my opinion.

Then again, in front of a judge... it’s quite a bit.
