Too much smoke. He's done!
Bummer, too. I always appreciated his longevity and wide appeal to his humor (bitd he was considered 'edgy').

Cosby (OT) Thoughts?
Here's one - you suck for starting another stupid thread that keeps us all from THE AWESOMENESS OF CLIMBING CONTENT!
I thought you were better than this, GDavis.

"Why is there air?"He's dark meat for Thanksgiving conversations across America.
I am NOT a Huxtable at this year's table. (See the link above in QITNL's post.)
In fact, I never watched any of his TV shows but I Spy. And that was "dumb," too, but I was too young to see that back then.
His humor was pap, just as most "sictom" humor is.
His schtick, to me, made it seem like he was trying to be assimilated instead of being himself. In short, he "souled out," and so he gets no respect from me.
TV is a wasteland.

If Cosby's net worth wasn't floating around a third of a billion US dollars and was instead in the neighborhood of a solidly middle class farming family in Iowa, how many less accusations come to light?
Smells a bit of gold digging if you ask me particularly in light of his fantastic successes in two modes, (1) fame and (2) fortune. I bet there were a lot of chicks that tried and probably succeeded in getting the Coz Hammer to throw down. Did he take advantage of that, probably yes and to a great extent. And how many of these chicks are looking for a payout now that life has passed them by or is at least leaving the station?
I think this stuff needs to be added into the equation. Then add in that many of these accusations can't even be anchored by a filed complaint anywhere in the past. Hmmm....

The more interesting aspect of this entire Cosby thing is that for a decade this information has been out there for the media to exploit and for various people to express an opinion about---and yet there was silence. Suddenly an unremarkable young black comedian with a lackluster career comes along, makes Cosby's rapes part of his stand-up bit--- and just as suddenly the entire media has instantly discovered what they have known about for 10 years.
The important story here is not about Bill Cosby ; it's about a whole lot more of greater significance as regards the media and pop culture and how it functions or doesn't function.
It's about that media and its deliberately selective morality and criticism in culture and politics. It's about a vast cross section of the American public unwilling to hold certain people accountable and to come to grips with how easy it is to be fooled and conned by wolves in sheep's clothing.

You suffer from Neanderthal Syndrome. Seek immediate medical attention.
