Bill Cosby got me this year! 11-23-14
I know what you are thinking. What could a 77 year old pervert possibly do to take advantage of a 265 pound bodybuilder? Am I claiming the above in an attempt to set the stage for a future lawsuit? How about if I just state my case and allow the court of public opinion to decide?
Early this year, I had set my DVR to record Mr. Cosby's performance on the Comedy Channel. I never watched the show in which he played Dr. Huxtable, but I remember something about listening to Fat Albert on a record as a teenager. Thus I had to assume that he earned the hour he was allotted on the Comedy Channel. I watched the entire thing (sans commercials, of course.) He was terrible! His performance paled in comparison to even the most nouveau comics I have watched in the past and since. He not only sat down during the "performance", but talked so slowly my attention wandered after every sentence. His pregnant pauses (during which he looked about in what he must have perceived to be a sly manner) were so long that a pregnancy could actually take place! The "schtick" if one could call it that was very current...for 1969! A 77 year old man is STILL talking about transporting his young children to school in a limo--and how they were so stigmatized they begged to be dropped off a block away. I can only speculate as to what a knee slapper this story was back then...but one would think that someone close to Bill would be honest enough to tell him that 45 years later, it no longer was...and especially before he tortured a national audience with it. One of my Sarasota clients made the mistake of paying actual money for a ticket to Bill Cosby's worn out act, and expressed his utmost regret the next day.
Two old ladies are in a restaurant. One says "The food is terrible here." The other says "Yes, and such small portions too!"
Bill used the entire hour to tell three stories that were neither funny nor current. One hour...three stupid stories. Foolishly, I watched the entire hour hoping it would improve. It never did. Bill stole an hour of my life from me that I can never have back. I feel lied to and violated. Do I have a case. Back to home page click here.
