Comments on: Child molesting? No problem. Using the ‘F’ word? No way http://whatwouldtotowatch.com/2008/12/12/child-molesting-ok-using-the-f-word-oh-no/ Movie reviews from award-winning journalist Christian Toto Tue, 21 Feb 2012 21:12:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: chase http://whatwouldtotowatch.com/2008/12/12/child-molesting-ok-using-the-f-word-oh-no/comment-page-1/#comment-17170 chase Sat, 13 Dec 2008 03:53:48 +0000 http://whatwouldtotowatch.com/?p=1094#comment-17170 Oh dear lord, I'd ban him for being one of the most irritating people on screen in the past 50 years, "Prettyyyy Laaaaydddyyy" ... ick. I couldn't watch a Jerry Lewis "film" for more than 10 seconds. ... and, hate for any group becuase they're different is just plain ugly. If he apologized, that'd be fine. I don't know that he has. As I said, I find him irritating, so I don't follow him. Maybe he said he's sorry for being a bigot. If so, no worries. But I wouldn't award him anything for his screen work ... my tastes. Not necessarily the tastes of others. I hear the French love him. Oh dear lord, I’d ban him for being one of the most irritating people on screen in the past 50 years, “Prettyyyy Laaaaydddyyy” … ick.

But then you've boiled it down to context and delivery. It's like the "N" word which appears in some rap lyrics but has a totally different meaning when said by a racist. No matter how you deconstruct it, Lewis should get his richly deserved Oscar - and a standing ovation. His use of the word wasn’t horrible, but it seemed far from ideal.

But if the quotes I've read are correct I've heard people, especially people in their teens and twenties use the term or one like in similar ways quite often. For anyone who wishes to dismiss Lewis as a humanitarian because of this.....well....all I can say is let's see what you've done to help people in need over the past 40 or 50 years. Yet another reason to despise many in Hollywood. I really don’t think his use of the term is really out of date, mind you I’m not defending it.
