Jon Stewart “is a total phony, he is highly overrated,” says Donald Trump (!)

First, let’s talk about these amazing photos!!! Jon Stewart was out and about in NYC yesterday with his dog, Champ. Champ only has three legs!! OMG. I didn’t know Jon Stewart had a three-legged dog, but that is just… adorable. It makes me love Jon even more, and I’m already pretty much crazy in love with him.

Anyway, the latest controversy with/about Jon is that Donald Trump is trying to start something with him. And I do think that’s how it’s going down – Jon was just minding his own business, doing The Daily Show and doing his thing and Trump was looking for a new victim to bully now that the overwhelming majority of people think Trump is a frothing-at-the-mouth wingnut (especially after his call for armed revolution against… a duly and fairly re-elected president). So Trump tried to start something and Jon Stewart had some fun with that:

Jon Stewart has a lot of fans — but Donald Trump is not one of them. After a bit of back-and-forth between the two, beginning with a tweet from the real estate tycoon and culminating in a joke at his expense during the Daily Show on Wednesday, May 1, Trump again took to Twitter to voice his less-than-favorable opinions of the comedian.

“If Jon Stewart is so above it all & legit, why did he change his name from Jonathan Leibowitz? He should be proud of his heritage!” the Celebrity Apprentice boss wrote on Friday, May 3.

“Jon Stewart is a total phony — he should cherish his past — not run from it,” he added. “As I’ve said many times before, Jon Stewart is highly overrated.”

The drama between the two started on April 24, when Trump insulted the Daily Show host’s intelligence on Twitter. “I promise you that I’m much smarter than Jonathan Leibowitz — I mean Jon Stewart,” he wrote, prompting some followers to question whether he is anti-semitic.

In response, Stewart called out Trump on his show, joking that the business magnate’s birth name was “F–kface Von Clownstick.” The Donald was not amused.

“Amazing how the haters & losers keep tweeting the name ‘F**kface Von Clownstick’ like they are so original & like no one else is doing it…” he tweeted, adding that Stewart had stolen the moniker “from some moron” on Twitter.

“He’s an overrated a–hole,” he told a follower of the comedian. “Total phony.”

[From Us Weekly]

I’m fine with this. I’m fine with Donald Trump attacking Jon Stewart and I’m fine with Jon Stewart defending himself by making fun of F—kface Von Clownstick. I think this is a fair fight as far as “celebrity battles” go. What bugs me is when people treat Trump like he’s a legitimate political player with something to say about government or the economy. He’s not. He’s a petty windbag and a C-list celebrity who starts feuds and then whines when people disagree with him.

Donald Trump sues Bill Maher for $5 million after orangutan joke, wager


Donald Trump is an a-hole wingnut who is not afraid to let his freak flag fly. We saw him make a bunch of bizarre requests to the sitting President, who wisely ignored him, and we witnessed his hissy fit on Twitter when Obama won re-election recently. Now he’s after Bill Maher for a dumb joke Bill made about him. The thing is, The Donald isn’t just yelling at Maher and raging like he does with his other enemies (see: Rosie, et al.) he’s suing him.

During an appearance on The Tonight Show Bill Maher made a joke, directly mocking and referencing Trump’s birther crusade, that “suppose that perhaps Donald Trump had been the spawn of his mother having sex with an orangutan. Because unless he comes up with proof, I’m willing to offer $5 million dollars to Donald Trump… to go to the charity of his choice.” It was a goof and not serious, only Trump produced his birth certificate and is now suing Maher for $5 million. So stupid.

Donald Trump isn’t one to forget. Or one to overlook the chance for a good publicity stunt.

“Today I sue Bill Maher,” Trump told “Fox & Friends” on Monday.

At issue: Last month, Maher made an appearance on Jay Leno’s Tonight Show and quipped that Trump must be “the spawn of his mother having sex with an orangutan.” Maher was mocking Trump’s offer to give $5 million to the charity of Barack Obama’s choice if the president released his college paperwork, by saying he would do the same if Trump supplied proof that he is not descended from an ape.

Trump produced his New York birth certificate to Maher within two days of the late-night appearance, but Maher hasn’t handed over the $5 million he mentioned.

On Monday, he called in to Fox News’ Fox & Friends, announcing the lawsuit. The court documents were filed in L.A. County Superior Court, citing breach of contract.

When it was pointed out that Maher’s lawyers will likely say he was only kidding, Trump replied. “He said it with venom. I don’t think it was a joke.”

Trump said he has an obligation to the charities to try to get the money for them. “Let’s see what happens.”

As for Maher, his latest tweet seems to be his reponse to it all:

“What?? Really? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha”

[From Freep.com]

What the hell is it with Donald Trump and birth certificates? He’s got a serious issue. And he should in no way remind us of that ridiculous wager he tried to make with Obama. Instead of letting the headlines about his stupidity stay in the past, Trump is doubling down. He has no sense of humor either. This will get thrown out of court.

Here’s a link to a video editorial that shows Maher’s remarks. It was obviously not serious. Maher should have said that Trump’s dad was an Oompa Loompa though, that would have been more believable.

Melania Trump hawks QVC jewelry line, has a “different romance” with The Donald


Melania Trump has a new jewelry line on QVC which she’s promoting, because all you need to do to get a jewelry, fashion or perfume line is to be some kind of celebrity. Sadly, it’s true. I watched her promotional interview with ET fully expecting to mock her, because it’s striking how much she looks like her husband and I expected her to be as much of an ass as he is. She has the same fug swoop in her hair as Donald, she’s similarly orange, and she has the exact same smug expression as he does on the red carpet. They look perfectly suited for each other, and that’s not a compliment. In the video she seemed warmer and less crazy than I was expecting, so she must have retained enough of her pre-Trump personality to be a more decent person than he is. (Which isn’t much of an accomplishment.) She’s her own person, and she has her own jewelry line, which she of course claims to have been involved with “from A to Z.” (They all do that.) The jewelry looks like copies of more expensive pieces, it’s gaudy and not my taste, but it’s pretty for that type of jewelry.

The takeaway from this interview are Melania’s comments about her “romance” with her husband. She says he’s romantic, but then she hedges and says their romance is “different” than other people have and that they’re both “very independent.” She also talks about all the things they do together and not how she feels or what a great guy she’s married to. I get the sense that it’s more of a business arrangement that she’s tolerating, but that’s what you would expect from anyone married to Donald Trump. He’s been ranting and going off the rails lately, would you assume he had a great home life? If he weren’t loaded and famous he’d been just another conspiracy theorist yelling at the neighbor’s cat. Here’s more:

Melania Trump has quite a life with business baron Donald Trump. The former model sat down with ET to discuss her recently launched jewelry collection with QVC as well her relationship with her husband.

Her husband’s many career happenings in combination with her own professional duties as well as raising their 6-year-old son make the couple’s time together limited. Mrs. Trump says the two maintain a romance unlike the average one.

“He is a romantic guy,” she said inside of her home. “…It’s a different romance than maybe some other people [have] but he’s [a] very different man anyway…but we have a great relationship and we are both very independent. We love what we do…and that’s the most important [thing]. [We] have great quality time together.”

The couple met when Melania, a native of Slovenia, was modeling in New York in the ’90s. Mr. Trump proposed to her in 2004 and they were married the following year. Although they are both busy in the business world, Melania says they cherish the time they do have together.

“We love to go to the movies. We love to just have a dinner, the two of us with friends,” she mentioned as some of their favorite activities together. “We love to go to Mira Lago, spend time [with] the three of us: Barron, Donald, and me together; playing sport; and just spending time together, no matter where [we] are just having a great time.”

The creative-minded former model launched her first jewelry line earlier this week with home shopping channel QVC. Having been immersed in fashion for the bulk of her life, Melania is enjoying creating her own products.

[From ET Online]

Ooh, do you think this is Melania’s exit strategy? Like is she lining up her own work so she has enough cash to pay lawyer’s fees when she goes for the big bucks? This is Donald’s third marriage, and of course he has a prenup. Maybe Melania is making sure she has enough of her own money to supplement whatever she’s going to get. Is it wrong to root for someone to get divorced, even if they’re Donald Trump? I’m actually rooting for Melania after seeing this video.

Melania and Donald are shown on 10-2-12, 12-5-12 and 1-6-13. Credit: WENN.com

Macy’s isn’t going to dump Donald Trump for being a wingnut… yet

Donald Trump isn’t going anywhere. Unfortunately. Trump has been totally nutter-butter for a while, but over the past few years, he’s become something of the go-to stunt-queen/tin-foil-hat conspiracy theorist for a particular brand of wingnut. I don’t even want to list all of the stupid crap that’s come out of his mouth or on his Twitter feed, so let’s just say this: the left sees Trump as a symbol of a larger problem within the GOP and the right should dump Trump because he’s making them all look really bad.

None of which means that Donald Trump doesn’t have every right to say whatever he wants. He does have the right. He has the right to say crazy sh-t, and everyone else has the right to call him on it. That’s free speech. But when a petition was started to urge Macy’s to Dump Trump, it was no longer simply a free speech issue. It was a pocketbook issue. As in, people might stop shopping at Macy’s if Macy’s continues to use a wingnut in their commercials. So a petition was started (go here to see it and sign it) and within a few weeks, hundreds of thousands of people signed it. And now Macy’s spokesperson had to issue a statement about the Dump Trump movement:

Macy’s is standing by its man — for now, at least. The department store giant has faced significant backlash in recent days over its longtime employment of billionaire Donald Trump as a spokesperson for the brand. More than half a million people have signed an online petition calling for Macy’s to sever ties with the 66-year-old business magnate, who has drawn fire recently for his tirades against President Barack Obama, NBC’s Brian Williams, and global warming.

But a rep for the retailer says the company’s spokespeople — Trump included — have no bearing on its business practices.

“Macy’s marketing and merchandise offerings are not representative of any political position,” the store said in a statement. “Many of the individuals associated with products sold at Macy’s — or at any retailer, for that matter — express personal opinions that are not related to the merchandise we sell or to the philosophies of our company.”

Angelo Carusone, who created the petition, told NBC’s Today that he was inspired to take action after seeing one of the brand’s new holiday ads, which features cameos from a grumpy Trump and his fellow spokespeople Justin Bieber, Martha Stewart, and Taylor Swift. Carusone, 30, thought the ad represented an “embracing” of Trump’s brand, which he said is built on “consequence-free bullying.”

However, Macy’s insists there’s no hidden agenda. “A longtime focus of Macy’s holiday advertising has been to celebrate the season’s spirit of generosity and goodwill through our ongoing ‘Believe’ campaign,” the store’s statement read, “and that is the sole message of our holiday television commercials.”

Carusone and his half a million supporters aren’t backing down. “Donald Trump does not reflect the ‘magic of Macy’s,’” the petition states. “Macy’s says it has a strong obligation to be ‘socially responsible’ and that ‘actions speak louder than words.’ Indeed. It’s time to act.”

The petition also cites Trump’s “especially unpleasant, nasty, and despicable behavior” and paints him as a sexist hypocrite who has used his fame as a public platform to spread lies and conspiracy theories. (The longtime Republican is a noted “birther” and has said that he thinks global warming “was created by and for the Chinese.”)

[From Us Weekly]

Yeah… Macy’s isn’t going to do anything until they’re forced to do something. Like, a petition is easy enough to ignore. But if liberals threaten to picket the Macy’s Day Parade? Or what if they actually boycotted Macy’s during the holidays? I would do that… because I don’t shop at Macy’s anyway (okay, I shopped there once in the last year – but never again!).

Incidentally, I do think the Macy’s spokesperson is being too cute by half when he’s acting like Macy’s isn’t giving a wink-and-nudge to Trump’s birther conspiracy. Check out this ad – Trump is satirizing his own birther words.

Also: the dude who began the petition, Angelo Carusone, sent out emails to the signers this morning. His email basically said that we’ve gotten Macy’s attention but that they’re still not going to dump Trump because Macy’s and Trump have a full-on partnership. He encouraged everyone to sign the petition and called Trump a “bully”/

Donald Trump targeted by huge online petition to get him pulled from Macy’s ads

I put this story in yesterday’s links, but I don’t think many of you saw it because you were too busy being hypnotized by Liam Neeson’s substantial dong. Well, I’m sorry to bring up the image of Liam’s bounty, but we need to talk about Donald Trump. Trump has been – in my opinion – batsh-t crazy for a while now. I don’t think he was ever inoffensive, but when he really started going after Pres. Obama, he really moved into what I consider the fringe lunacy. The breaking point for many people seemed to be Trump’s call for armed revolution against the democratically re-elected president on Election Night last week. Trump had a massive Twitter meltdown (he later deleted most of the tweets) and it was so bad that even NBC anchor Brian Williams called him out live on air.

Basically, Trump is a catastrophe. He is a hot mess that no one should want to be involved with. Which is why a petition has been started which aims to publicly shame Macy’s into withdrawing from their association with Trump.

Should Macy’s dump Trump? Donald Trump gained notoriety for his no-nonsense business tactics on The Apprentice, but if nearly half a million people have their way, he may soon be on the other end of his infamous “You’re fired” catchphrase.

More than 465,000 individuals have signed an online petition urging Macy’s to sever ties with the 66-year-old billionaire, a longtime spokesperson for the brand. The letter cites his “especially unpleasant, nasty, and despicable behavior” and accuses the star of spreading lies about President Barack Obama — Trump is a noted “birther” theorist — and global warming. (After Hurricane Sandy, he declared that “global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.”)

The petition also paints the business magnate as a sexist hypocrite who “personally [attacks] women he disagrees with by calling them ‘unattractive,’ ugly, or fat” and complains about jobs being shipped overseas, “despite the fact that almost his entire clothing line sold at Macy’s is made in China and other Asian nations.”

Indeed, Trump’s tirades have become increasingly public recently. After President Obama’s re-election on Tuesday, Nov. 6, the outspoken Republican (who once spoke of running for office himself) took to Twitter to express his unhappiness. He was quickly criticized by NBC’s Brian Williams, who said that Trump had “driven well past the last exit to relevance and veered into something closer to irresponsible.”

The Celebrity Apprentice host fired back the next day, calling Williams’ show “a disaster” and further lamenting the election results.

“Brian Williams was never a smart guy but always passes himself off as such. People will learn the truth!” he tweeted. “Another four years — not good for the country but we’ll have to live with it! Our country is totally split right now but someday it will come together! We have to make America great again!”

[From Us Weekly]

You can go to the petition here and sign up if you so choose. The petition is associated with MoveOn.org, and it seems legit. They’ve already got hundreds of thousands of names too.

I do have some mixed feelings about the petition (although I did sign it, btw). Maybe it’s because I associate the whole idea of “signing a petition to get someone pushed out of advertising” as a typically conservative thing to do – I know I’m wrong about that, don’t even bother correcting me. But it reminds me of the “Million Moms” who tried to get Ellen DeGeneres yanked from JC Penney contract just because she’s gay and she was vocalizing support for gay marriage – and I was really happy when JC Penney stood by Ellen too. I wanted the Million Moms petition and activism to fail because their agenda came from a place of anti-gay bigotry. Is it okay to want Donald pushed out of Macy’s because of HIS wingnuttery? Eh. Maybe I’m overthinking it.

Donald Trump had an epic Twitter meltdown over Obama’s re-election

I was watching MSNBC and NBC News last night, and I think they were the first to call Ohio for Obama (around 11:12 pm), which meant that they were the first to call the entire election for Obama. In the midst of the minute-by-minute political and statistical analysis, Rachel Maddow kept interrupting the discussion to let viewers know how the GOP and their mouthpieces were reacting. I won’t even get to the Karl Rove stuff (apparently, Rove threw a tantrum ON Fox over Fox News calling Ohio for Obama), but let’s talk about the Donald Trump stuff. Trump was on Twitter as soon as Ohio was called, and it was not pretty. Here’s what his Twitter feed looks like this morning:

[From Donald Trump’s Twitter]

The last tweet on his feed reads, “House of Representatives shouldn’t give anything to Obama unless he terminates Obamacare.” But what’s particularly interesting is that Trump has deleted some of his more wingnutty tweets that even legit journalists were mocking last night. He deleted a tweet that read, “More votes equals a loss… revolution!” If that’s the way he really feels… why delete that one and leave the rest? Either you want a revolution because you no longer believe in a democratically elected president (who won the electoral college and the popular vote, btw), or you’re just a dumb blowhard. What’s scary is that Donald Trump was actually a legit political player in GOP politics this past election cycle – he’s not some fringe character ignored by everyone. He did campaign appearances with Mitt Romney.

Other celebrities responded to Trump’s Twitter meltdown. Andy Cohen tweeted, “I’ma run a sedative up to Trump Tower#BRB.” Modern Family creator and producer Steve Levitan tweeted: “Hey Trump, did you see Mitt Romney’s concession speech? That’s what graciousness and good hair looks like.” And Brian Williams apparently went off on Trump live on air saying, “Donald Trump has driven well past the last exit to relevance and veered into something closer to irresponsible.”

Donald Trump Jr. defends killing exotic animals in Africa, including an elephant


TMZ has a photo of Trump Jr. holding up an elephant’s tail he’s just cut off like he’s super proud

Last year Donald Trump Jr., 34, went on a safari to Zimbabwe and killed at least one elephant, a kudu, a civet cat, a crocodile and a water buck. He then proudly posted photos online. Somehow TMZ just found out about it, the photos got leaked and/or little Trumpy just put them online. Well now he’s defending himself on Twitter and sending snarky remarks back to anyone who questions his killing of majestic animals. He’s saying that the animals were in the open and weren’t fenced, that what he did was legal, and that he gave the meat to local villagers. He still killed a freaking elephant for God’s sake. Didn’t anyone read Babar to him when he was a kid? You can read this douche’s twit-fits if you want, and TMZ has a summary too. I’m just going to quote the original TMZ story because he disgusts me so much and I don’t want to give him any more credence than he deserves:

Donald Trump’s two sons went on a big game hunt in Africa, and the carnage they wrought has triggered outrage by wildlife enthusiasts.

Donald’s sons — Donald Jr. and Eric — went on a hunting safari in Zimbabwe a year ago this month, and proudly showed off their trophy kills — including an elephant, crocodile, kudu, civet cat and water buck.

In one shot, Donald Jr. is holding a dead elephant’s tail in one hand and a knife which appears to have cut off the tail in another.

A wildlife enthusiast’s website has just created a YouTube video of the slaughter expressing outrage.

As for Donald Trump, he tells TMZ, “My sons love hunting. They’re hunters and they’ve become good at it. I am not a believer in hunting and I’m surprised they like it.”

Trump added, “I know that anything they did was 100% OK in terms of the hunting community.”

I googled “is Elephant hunting legal in Zimbabwe,” and I came across this site for elephant conservation that states that it is legal, and it’s called “culling” and is used to justify population control. They tell some devastating stories about killing elephants though. Warning on this passage, it might make you get welled up like I did:

The southern African countries (South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia) claim they have too many elephants and so they solve the problem by killing them.

When they kill elephants, they have to kill the whole family. They have discovered over the years, that if they don’t kill all the members of an elephant family, those left are terribly traumatized and because eles can communicate over long distances through the use of infra sound, other herds find out about the massacre. And elephants never forget.

An elephant conservationist from Kenya was taken up in a small plane to fly over the elephants in Kruger Park of South Africa where they slaughter their elephants. Much to his surprise the eles fled in a panic at the sound and sight of the plane. He had never seen this happen in Kenya. He asked his South African host about this who thought it was normal! The eles remember culling and where responding to the plane with fear.

There is the story of a slaughter taking place. A mother elephant was shot but not quite dead. The man doing the evil deed was lifting his rifle up to shoot her daughter. The dying elephant lifted her trunk and put it on the man’s arm to pull it away from the rifle. To keep him from killing her baby. They feel just like we do. They love just like we do. They fear death just like we do.

[From KrystalParks.com]

The article goes on to say that it’s possible to control the elephant population successfully with just birth control shots. Reading this story, a lot of things come to mind involving Donald Trump Sr. and birth control too.

Jon Hamm on Trump’s reaction to Obama’s jokes: “He didn’t take it very well”

fp_7231229_rij_bridesmaids_34_80

Jon Hamm’s been on the promotional trail for Bridesmaids lately, and he stopped by the Conan O’Brien show last night to discuss various things, such as how he’s been filming a television show in England, and rabid “Mad Men” fans often send over huge quantities of bourbon whenever he visits pubs. Surprisingly, Hamm claims to prefer the girly, neon-tinted drinks: “Real men go for any drink that’s in the neon family.” Hamm also talked about President Obama’s killer jokes at the White House Correspondents dinner to great effect:

He was amazing, and I had kind of the best seat the house because I was sitting sort of right behind Donald Trump’s table, and watching that dude who has no problem telling people what to do and giving people trouble actually take it? He didn’t take it very well. That was a rough table. I was actually sitting next to Zach Galifianakis and we were laughing very loudly to the point where I kind of checked in with him and I was like, can we kind of tone it down? These are funny jokes but [Donald's] right there. He was not having any of it, but they were funny jokes, and Obama was hilarious. I felt kind of bad because I was like, ‘Seth’s gotta follow this guy,’ and he did do a great job. It was fun, it was super fun. I got to meet him, I got to meet the President. That’s not something that happens every day.

[From Team Coco]

Sigh. He’s still so humble (and dreamy) after all of this recent success. I also like how, in real life, Hamm still looks like Don Draper but doesn’t act like him at all. Is there any way we can clone him for posterity? In case you want to witness the above words in (ahem) further detail, here’s a video clip from last night’s show:

Donald ‘Troll’ Trump takes credit for Obama releasing longer birth certificate

donaldtrump_barackobama
I haven’t been paying much attention to Donald Trump and his bid for the Presidency, because that moves an annoying entertainment figure into the realm of an annoying political figure, and we try to ignore those except in the cases of very obvious crossovers. (i.e. Sarah Palin.) So Trump has been spouting that “birther” nonsense to anyone that will listen, and Obama’s people actually responded and released his long form birth certificate. Prior to this there was an announcement in the local Hawaii paper and a “Certification of Live Birth,” which should suffice but was picked apart by people looking to find fault. It’s some complicated stuff, and if you’re interested you can read about it here, here and here, but the gist is that the conspiracy theorists were grasping at straws to try and say that Obama wasn’t born in the US and was therefor not qualified to be President. With crazy Trump at the helm, those theories gained more steam. Anyway Obama put out his long form birth certificate, which was filed away in Hawaii somewhere, and Trump is taking credit for it.

“I know that there is going to be a segment of people for which no matter what we put out, this issue will not be put to rest,” Obama said. “But I am speaking for the vast majority of the American people as well as for the press. We do not have time for this kind of silliness. We have better stuff to do. I have got better stuff to do. We have got big problems to solve.”

“We are not going to be able to do it if we are distracted, we are not going to be able to do it if we spend time vilifying each other … if we just make stuff up and pretend that facts are not facts, we are not going to be able to solve our problems if we get distracted by side shows and carnival barkers,” the president declared earlier.

The document released by the White House differs from the one that Obama’s aides made public during the 2008 presidential campaign. Instead of a “certification” of live birth, this was a “certificate,” clearly recording that the president was born on Aug. 4, 1961 in the Kapiolani Maternity and Gynecological Hospital in Honolulu.

For years, Obama’s circle of aides had resisted calls to make the latter form public, noting that a certification is legally sound and what any citizen of Hawaii receives upon requesting documents of birth. And indeed, for some time, that explanation — supported by a a wide swath of other contemporaneous evidence – seemed to suffice.

But some who challenged the president’s citizenship remained unsatisfied, and in recent weeks they found a high-profile megaphone for their cause: business tycoon and presidential flirt Donald Trump. – Huffington Post


Donald Trump is already taking the credit for getting Barack Obama to go public with his birth certificate … saying, “I’m very proud of myself” … but adds, “We have to see if it’s real.”

Trump added, “I want to look at it, but I hope it’s true so that we can get on to much more important matters … he should have done it a long time ago.”

He continued, “I am really honored, frankly, to have played such a big role in hopefully, hopefully getting rid of this issue.”

As for the actual document, Trump added, “We have to look at it, we have to see … is it real? Is it proper? What’s on it? But I hope it checks out beautifully.” – TMZ

[From HuffPo and TMZ]

The people who don’t want Obama to be President aren’t going to accept this as fact, and as TMZ points out they’ll say there’s some conspiracy behind waiting so long to release it. As Kaiser told me about this issue, sometimes it’s better not to feed the trolls. Look at how Trump is gloating.

The Situation’s most tasteless jokes cut from roast of Donald Trump


Note: these are the jokes that weren’t cut from the broadcast. You can read the ones that were on TMZ

I used to think that The Situation was somewhat cleverly crafting his media image, like he was playing up the douche angle and making himself into a parody of a self-obsessed, selfish user gym rat in order to move merchandise. Now that I’ve read some of the truly terrible jokes he cracked at Donald Trump’s roast I’m not so sure. Like even if someone else wrote these for him, there’s no excuse for repeating them and they weren’t funny to boot. He made dumb, unnecessary references to slavery and to Marlee Matlin being deaf and he didn’t even weave in personal stuff about The Donald like you’re supposed to do for a roast. As a result most of his routine was cut from the broadcast. You can read what he said on TMZ, I don’t want to recap it at all.

The stuff that was left was equally bad, but not quite as offensive, as you can see from the video above. It’s disjointed and painful to watch and they should have just cut out the Situation’s part entirely. [via DListed]

Roasts are supposed to be obnoxious, they’re not supposed to be offensive on a level that is uncalled for. The late Greg Giraldo was such a pro at ripping on people using things we know about them and never stepping over that line. The Situation needs to take a step back and I hope that this puts a damper on some of the countless crap he’s trying to sell. Maybe he really is just an asshole and an unfunny one to boot.
