What did you guys think of the latest show by Dave Chappelle? I'm forgetting the name, but it was the one where he went on to explain why he's got problems with the Transvestite community... I had no idea it was such a big deal out there, and for someone who might not be aware of the back-story, according to *not* Chappelle, just wanted to know what you guys made of it?

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with Dave Chappelle. I expect he's on one of the comedy channels we get in the UK, but he's not on my radar.

I haven't seen the show and I have not really looked to deeply at the controversy but it does seem to be inspiring some very weird behavior in a lot of famous people.

The name of the show was "the closer", and it's where he clears the air with a lot of stuff that he's said over the years, one in particular which happens to be the set that he does about Transvestite people. Had no idea that it would garner the response that it did, so was just curious... hey arse_hat. (:

That's okay Senyar; I think I discovered the guy maybe 10-12 year back. His comedy routines, it feels like, are for a more educated group of people, for lack of a better word. You should try him out sometime; sure you'd love his comic sensibilities!

Ps. I'm still craving the delicious meals that you'd made the last time we'd spoken, and you posted a pic. *drool*
