https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05yPDrSUazk I am telling the truth in a very angry age. People in this country don't like anyone anymore. And I succeed by saying what everyone else is thinking. The quote above may sound contemporary in fact, Rivers said this over 30 years ago. Nevertheless, her opinions could be out of sync with the majority and inspired anger on several occasions. Attracting controversy was an occupational hazard for the comedienne and many objected vociferously to the fact that there was no interlocutor between her brain and tongue, but it was still somewhat saddening that in the hours after she was taken ill, #karma spiked on Twitter. This trending has been attributed to extremely contentious remarks Rivers made just a few weeks ago about Palestinian suffering in the Gaza conflict. She later took to Facebook to explain that her remarks were taken out of context, but the damage was done. Putting her political views to one side, the depths she would routinely plumb with her stand-up routines and commentaries went too far for some. Last year, commenting on a dress being worn by Heidi Klum, she caused outrage by remarking: The last time a German looked this hot was when they were pushing Jews into the ovens. From the Holocaust to 9/11 and Helen Keller to Anne Frank, nothing was off-limits for Rivers in her thirst for laughs. For some, it was simply too much.
I watch movies and I watch sport. I also watch movies about sport, and if there were a sport about movies I'd watch that too. The internet was the closest thing I could find.
