Women Aren't Funny?
It staggers me that people in this world, in this day in age, can still be so narrow minded as to believe that one individual or group of people is superior to another. The idea of women not being able to be as funny as men is so outrageous to me that, it is my belief, that this article and author must be, in a sense, trying to be funny. The way the video played out the beliefs of the author by saying this like if a woman is funny then, among other things, she must be Jewish, even a little Jewish. This made me laugh because the idea of someone being "a little Jewish" does not comprehend with me. That seems like a comical statement. Finally, to top off the video, he takes a drink of scotch, which just adds to his image of being so smug. That was obviously staged. We have to take this article and author lightly because, if there was any research done, we would obviously see the list of comical women equals, if not surpasses that of comical men. When I think of the great comedians of the past, while names like Bob Hope and Charlie Chaplin come up, they are followed by names like Carol Burnett and Lucille Ball. Women have a different view point than men and perhaps a woman's perspective is not funny to all men, but then a man's perspective is not necessarily funny to a woman. It all depends on the individual. You must know your audience.
