aidsday

Duly upset copywriter Copyranter shared with us this hoaxish find: A "leaked" Sarah Silverman song called "Happy AIDS Day, Anyway," which was supposedly part of Gap's (Product) Red campaign before being shelved. Maybe someone who wanted to not get fired thought better of releasing lyrics like this:

I'm not black
I'm not gay
And Africa is so far away
But what's one more December holiday?
Happy AIDS Day anyway

Yikes! And if that didn't get your toes tapping, there's more:

The gay cancer
The African flu
That's for hemophiliacs
And Haitians too
I wash my hands when I go to the loo
Happy AIDS Day anyway

Rather shocking, but consider this: "…the shot above of Silverman is an old one that's been Photoshopped…But even if it is complete hooey, somebody went to a lot of trouble."

    you know, when people try to be offensive it rarely works. being shocking for the sake of being shocking is lame.

    I think she is so boring. None of her "jokes" are funny and her show SUCKS.

    agreed rachel. she tries wayyy too hard and it shows. comedy should be effortless. but do we really expect taste and class from a woman who willingly tosses jimmy kimmel's salad?

    Not I, James. But at least wait till I'm finished with this sushi. I have some standards. I don't like to mix my sushi with tossed salads.

    The photo is timely, at least. That cleavage shot is pretty disgusting and unattractive, much like her personality.

    I think her standup is funny and her show has some great moments minus the fart and poo humor.
    I'm so NOT on board with the AIDS jokes.

    she was funny. but pushing the bar down will eventually backfire…at some point it just gets depressing and makes us all feel debased. no thanks, we've all had enough sweety. i wouldn't want her kharma. making your money off making people feel like dirt? she'll keep going, people will stick a mic in her face but it just gets sickening. i've had enough.

    Dear james_boston,was amos and andy effortless enough comedy for you james, that was true racism, what Silverman does is expose the truth that we all pretend is there, get your head out of your ass james.
