    Jordan_229_2 | 4 Sep '14, 20:10 | X
    • oh, they've changed the article literally as i posted that

      Jordan_229_2 @Jordan_229_2 | 4 Sep '14, 20:11 | X
  • Read an article recently where she was saying the people of gaza deserve to die, remember think it was a bit rich for her to be talking about people that should be dead.

    • aye, what she really said was

      “Oh my God! Tell that to the people in Hiroshima, When you declare war, you declare war. They started it. We now don't count who's dead. You're dead, you deserve to be dead. Don’t you dare make me feel bad about that.”

      “They were told to get out. They didn’t get out. You don’t get out, you are an idiot. At least the ones that were killed were the ones with low IQs....NOT!”

      classic bit o' comedy

      Jordan_229_2 @marilyninthesky | 4 Sep '14, 20:22 | X
      • fucking hell

        badmanreturns @Jordan_229_2 | 5 Sep '14, 00:48 | X
    • what's the context?

      no-class @marilyninthesky | 4 Sep '14, 20:32 | X
      • Decades of anti-palestinian, anti-Arab brainwashing

  • Good to see the stupidity in this thread

    kiyonemakibi | 4 Sep '14, 20:57 | X
  • she wasn't very nice

    but she was way off the Thatcher threshold. rest in peace and all that.

    desertshore this'd this
    • yeah i literally had no idea she was a bit of a cunt tbh

          • Why are you attacking me?

            the_dazzled @desertshore | 5 Sep '14, 08:53 | X
      • always seemed edgy

        but I only ever saw her in stand-up. assumed she was just super-harsh on men (fine with that) and her own vagina.

        incandenza_ @desertshore | 4 Sep '14, 21:29 | X
        • In recent years she also made a habit of defending homophobes.

          Which is a bit odd, given how much of a gay icon she was.

          marckee @incandenza_ | 4 Sep '14, 22:03 | X
          • actually, that rings a bell

            as for that nasty anti-Palestine comments, I've known a few otherwise lovely Israelis who would turn on a dime when it came to that subject.

            I surmise that there's an ingrained violent defensiveness tied into the regional religious hostility that permeates even otherwise reasonable people.

            I fucking surmise, jesus. sorry. like that isn't the most obvious deduction.

            incandenza_ @marckee | 4 Sep '14, 22:16 | X
  • i had to imdb her to check if she's been in anything i know

    top hit for me: played herself in an episode of curb. know the name like, but don't think i've really ever seen her in anything.

    whiterussian | 4 Sep '14, 22:06 | X
  • bizarre responses

    TheKennedyCurse | 4 Sep '14, 23:20 | X
    blimeycharlie this'd this
    • aye

      weird to see people defending people who say an ethnic cleansing is deserved.

      Jordan_229_2 @TheKennedyCurse | 5 Sep '14, 08:31 | X
  • Genuinely really upset about this

    She was one of the funniest comedians of the last century and genuinely paved the way for women/gays in popular culture.

    The context around her Palestinian outburst was that journalists kept asking her "as a Jew" what do you think about Gaza. No excuse really for what she said, but it's an explanation at least. Besides, that bitch insulted EVERYONE, living or dead, so it's important to try and keep it in perspective.

    I like that she would most likely be laughing at all the jokes about her death if she could somehow see them.

    Anyway, watch the last 10 minutes of her comedy Roast. It's perfection.

    RIP Joan

  • Weird comparing this thread to, say, the Robin Williams one.

    Great stuff, girls.

  • Never one to name drop... but...

    I've met her and loads of other famous people too!

    Balonz | 5 Sep '14, 08:34 | X
  • I liked joan rivers

    like many have mentioned she blazed a trail and her acerbic wit made me laugh many times.

    RIP

  • The 2010 documentary about her is legitimately really fucking good

    Kind of fascinated by her and a bit sad but very conflicted as she was obviously a pretty dreadful person in a lot of ways.
