Innocent until proven guilty... unless of course you are female. Then you are guilty before proven innocent.

I don't understand how these women stand to benefit financially from all this. Stature of limitations has run out for criminal acts.
I do believe that he has not been convicted of anything.

maybe from the talk show circuit?
yes the imaginary talk show circuit. Where are the civil suits? The criminal charges? If there was any ulterior motive the women sure aren't clear on it. It looks like what it is, a handful of women being brave enough to say that something terrible happened to them.
One rape allegation? Could be bullsh#t. 2? We should look into it. 15 separate people, including working professionals willing to attach their name and a 2006 settlement case alleging the same thing?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's a rapist. He's going to live a long, full life as a rapist, as sad as that is, due to the statute of limitations. We can't convict him any more than we could retroactively convict O.J.

I will observe that Mr. Cosby never tried to get me drunk or to screw me.

The bad only comes from when we compare the persona that has been on the screen all these years. The ideals that were mentioned in all the years. The fact that the man made a career in comedy without using cuss words after Bruce and then again after Carlin had let the cat out of the bag.
It's the juxtaposition of the two characters... One an upstanding father figure.... the other... possibly the worst father figure anyone can possibly think of... a rapist.
Luckily I will never meet the man to see how my distaste might manifest in his presence.

People persist in confusing the art and the artist.
They are actors. They are selling us illusions. Products of the imagination that cater to needs.

Yeah, I have trouble with the hypocritical nature of this too. While I was never much of a fan of the Cosby show, his comedy albums were funny, and I also thought his negative stance on gangster rap and the associated culture were appropriate.
But don't have much doubt this is true. Too many accusations, and according to a friend I have in the industry, it's been somewhat known for years. He just had enough money to keep it hushed up.
Very disappointing.

DK:
fair enough...
while only canucks will likely know about this one, a fair fight for despicability champion would be ghomeshi vs cosby...
both are criminally unsubstantiated, while having so much smoke that there is certain to be a fire...
one uses pills, the other fists... both were loved by many... and both are representative of a new era where the powerful can't pull the medias strings quite as effectively as they were able to in the past...

Who's more despicable, Bill Cosby or Donald Sterling?
Is this a joke? Donald Sterling let his girlfriend sleep with black guys, he just didn't want her taking pics with them (lol). Cosby RAPED people. Lots of them. Probably a lot more than are coming forward, if we apply college courses in womens' studies.
What I love the most is that he was this champion for 'supposed morality,' his shtick about 'foul language' and taboo topics were anti-comedy and pedantic.
A charismatic rapist continues to play the part and we buy it hook, line and sinker. Funny, really, but a tiny version of the bigger part of reality that if you speak slowly and clearly and peddle to simplistic beliefs idiots will believe you, indefinitely.

Kos, I'm not sure why you think the mere rantings of a mentally diminished person should be given the same gravity as a rational person who was allegedly a serial rapist.
