Slog - Comments on Fucking Celebrities http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/02/fucking_celebrities I'm going to guess that I'm supposed to dislike Jimmy Kimmel, so I'll probably get in trouble for defying the orthodoxy here, but fuck it, this is kinda funny. First there was this pretty funny smack from his hot-ass girlfriend: Then, last night, there was this star-studded, gay-chicken-referencing response:...

How is this different from a blackface/mintrel show?

The fey mincing fucked it up.

Then it made me laugh. As opposed to the Matt Damon video, which I laughed through most of.

I think what astonishes me most is that Jimmy Kimmel could call in favors from all those much-more-famous (or at least more respected) celebrities.

nowhere near as bad as Chuck & Larry, though, which made me physically ill.

What was distasteful/offensive about these videos? (I was kinda bored by Kimmel's response, so I skipped through it, so please let me know what I'm missing.)

The guy is funny and seems pretty cool. That show has always been much better than people say/think it is.
