This one hit me hard. I don't worship celebrities or anything, but Norm Macdonald was someone I idolized. From his comedy to the way he was as a person, I truly connected with him. I never got to see him live but I've watched hundreds of compilations on Youtube. I'll miss him and I'm grateful that he is in a better place. I'll definitely be wearing my Norm shirt and SPORTS hat next time I'm out and about.

 

Norm Macdonald mourned by, you guessed it: Frank Stallone - Connect FM | Local News Radio | Dubois, PA

Norm would love this

 

I'm glad to see Frank being a good sport and honoring a legend. Carrot Top recently paid tribute to Norm during one of his shows as well.

 

I have watched Norm for decades it feels like, and would have sung his accolades til the end of time, but unfortunately...

Norm Macdonald Walks Back #MeToo Comment, Quips About Down Syndrome – Deadline

... I feel nothing but contempt for the man.

 

Oh no!

Anyway...

 

Calm your tits. He was an equal opportunity offender who went after anyone; kinda like South Park

 

Do NOT tell me to calm my tits. There is a difference between edging stereotype lines and denigrating an entire demographic that cannot even defend itself.

 

Calm your tits. He made one bad remark, and now he's dead.

 

Ok…ummm…can we please return to respectfully paying tribute to the deceased, instead of dragging their name through the mud and causing the mods to shut down this thread?

 

Reuben Klamer, board game inventor (The Game of Life), passed away at age 99.

 

Thank you. When RL passed and peeps (rightfully) called him out for making fun of AIDS victims et al there was no problem there. But this, this all of a sudden is beyond the line????

 

Please guys, drop it. I don't want the thread closed.

 

What do you expect? It's (D)ifferent...

I'm glad you called that out because nothing I said was remotely as vicious as what went on during THAT event. I pointed out why I didn't support his work anymore and was... corrected? Yeah, corrected by people who had different opinions than me.

 

'Friday' Star Anthony Johnson Dead at 55

 

Rest in peace, Ezal.

 

Dude, I called YOU out!!!

Ok, just wanted to make sure we were clear. Cuz you seriously were not happy with many of us calling out good ol' Rush and his shenanigans as well as his support for a guy who does similar things.
But now, since it impacts you directly, now all of a sudden it's not cool.

Cool when RL and DT do it,
Not cool when Norm does it.

Ok, Gotcha.

 

You called out nothing, I pointed out that THAT was the precedent you all established with Rush that suddenly is verboten when it's Turd Fergusen. The difference is also that I didn't attempt to excuse or defend Rush's despicable moment, while posters here are indeed explaining why there is nothing wrong with Norm's comments. And don't play the apology card because that happened in both instances.

 

RIP Mr Jolson.
