Kind Of Blue
The Aristocrats is very funny, which isn't surprising considering it features 100 comedians retelling the world's dirtiest joke. The storytellers have such zeal for this crude tradition and it's fun to compare attempts at Most Clever Analysis.
Slate has some background on the Behind The Joke. You can go to cartmanthearistocrat.com to watch South Park's profane version (Win Media ... make sure you have headphones).
The doc's producer Penn Jillette tells Time Out New York:
The whole idea came from a discussion of bebop. In a very real way, it's a bebop film -- and the jazz people that I know who have seen it get it much faster than the comedy people.In the movie he also makes some analogies to Coltrane, but don't worry ... I'll spare you more jazz. Instead, let's celebrate obscenity with Dirt McGirt. This Elton John/Kiki Dee cover has appeared on some mix tapes since ODB recorded it with Macy Gray last year. Earlier this month it was released on 12". Dirty sounds delightfully wasted. Enjoy:

Related: A preview for Sarah Silverman's Jesus Is Magic ran before the movie. We saw her one-woman show of the same name and loved it. Watch the trailer here.

Black people really don't tip.

"Black people really don't tip."
I hope this was a joke. And it's not even a funny one if it is. But I guess you feel it's okay to make those types of accusations, because "black people don't read Stereogum." Think again.

That joke by Cartman really turned me on.

This is most certainly not the place to talk about that crappy band breaking up, my friend. There are places to do such things. Go there. Run like the wind, little one!

"Jesus Is Magic" is hysterical. I have watched it about 5 times now and it still makes me laugh. Some of the material is fairly old stuff that she's done for years ("Please let them find semen in my dead grandmother's vagina!"), but it is all still great. If anything, it's too short, clocking in at just 70 minutes or so.
My favorite song is the one that she sings in a nursing home --- "No, it's not cold in here...you're just dying..." she sings in front of many frightened looking senior citizens.

I'll admit, you do have a point after all. Blame it on my annoyance of hearing every other day or so about something that "black people do/don't do". My apologies for snapping at you.

I heard that oprah just did a show recently about how black people don't tip. Is that true?

I would take every single stereotype about black people (don't tip, lazy, crack addicts, criminals) as long as I could have a dick a size of the black man's.
