Fat Clown Jimmy Kimmel Avoiding Cancellation Over Blackface, N-Word Use, Because Leftwing
I was told these things were forbidden and would result in automatic, permanent exclusion from employment if I were to do them.
But, he's leftwing, so it's all fine.
Jimmy Kimmel, who urged actor Tom Arnold to release an alleged "N-word" tape of President Trump in 2018, admitted years ago that he imitated rapper Snoop Dogg's voice for a track in a 1996 Christmas album -- an original song in which Kimmel used the "N-word" several times.
The admission came in a January 2013 podcast obtained this weekend by Fox News. In the podcast, Kimmel also changed his speech pattern in an attempt to adopt the voice of black comedian George Wallace, in what host Adam Carolla called Kimmel's "crazy black voice." Kimmel acknowledged imitating black people on other occasions as well.
Kimmel, who is slated to host the Emmy Awards this year, announced last week that he's taking the summer off amid a brewing blackface controversy; he has not issued an apology.
I think this is silly but: Your Rules.
Blogging is going to be more superficial than normal for the next two days. My work computer had a bad hard drive error and seemed dead. It later booted, but I'm assuming that it's on the verge of failing forever. So I'm not using that until I can get it looked at. And then I'll just use it to copy my old passwords so I can enter them on a new one.
Now I'm using an old computer which is itself wonky and running slow.
