"Only gay people watch the Tony's." - Chris Rock — Page 2

I can't wait to see it. The Oscars usually suck. Billy Crystal sucked last year. Will Ferrell and Jack Black's duet was about the only bright spot.

I'm straight, and I watch the Tony's. But I confess that hardly anyone watches the Tony's. Its ratings have been terrible lately.

**Straight man here who watches Tony's** But, it is still funny.

I just don't think anything he says is funny. He looks like a fly that's been swatted one too many times with a flyswatter and sounds like a rat. I really dislike him, and not because of his "gay" comment.

Well, for me, it was Harvey Fierstein, but same thing, I suppose.

I have to admire the guys on this thread who openly admit they are heterosexual. It takes an enormous amount of courage to do that on this site.

Bravo!

The thing that bugs me about this whole Chris Rock thing is that him saying "Only gay people watch the Tony's" is untrue. He never even said that. What he did say was "What straight black man watches the Oscars?" People (journalists) took it upon themselves to change what he said and create this uproar that didn't really exist. The head of GLAD even made a statement saying they weren't offended b/c that wasn't what he said. Apparently a few members of the Academy are not happy with him being host and have begun this "smear" campaign to get him booted which isn't going to happen. At the end of the day, Chris Rock hosting the Oscars equals ratings. You're going to get a good number of people who don't watch the Oscars watching it just for him. The same thing goes for Beyonce replacing Minnie Driver...

this man is so stupid and i really think he's going to be an awful oscar host. what happened to billy, or steve, or whoopi, or robin?

Who cares? If one of your witty gay friends said 'only fags watch the Tonys" you'd all be laughing. So what's the big deal?

Because Chris Rock is a big hypocrite. If someone made a racial comment, he'd be all over them. If Jamie Foxx doesn't win the Oscar, you know he'll make a big deal. Why? Because they're both black. He's ignorant, and doesn't understand that it goes both ways.

Once again Tonya is gonna have to blow up the spot...

No just kidding. All i'm gonna say is the comment, "only black people listen to Chris Rock" and follower(munkeystrap)is RACIST and GENERALIST. Not politically correct people. youre being as offensive as many think Rock is.

Tonya:

If you had half a brain in your skull (which I highly doubt,) you would have understood why joe said "Only black people listen to Chris Rock." All of us know that that is obviously not true - just as we know that Rock's comment about only gay people watching the Tony's isn't true. So he turned the tables and put it a different way. I wouldn't expect you to understand that at all, but I atleast thought I'd try.

Once more: if Rock can say "only Gay people watch the Tonys," we can say "Only Black people listen to Chris Rock." Neither is true, both is stereotypical, but it goes to show you that racism and prejudice go both ways. Again, I suspect that it's impossible for you to comprehend that. So go again, sister, preach to us.

I agree with that too.
