What Else Can We Do To Dead People?

Thanks to Tom Hanks we all know that Dead Men Can Walk.

The other day I was watching a very long commercial for the Dean Martin Celebrity Roast (back when a Celebrity was a Celebrity). Right in the middle of the sales pitch a disclaimer had been inserted by lawyers that tried to prevent the bunch of Dead People on the Celebrity Roast Show from being sued.

Almost every one of the Stars (back when a star was a star) on the show are now dead. Many of their jokes are now forbidden because of Political Correctness. Back then we used to laugh at such jokes but now we are afraid to even give any indication that we heard what we just heard.

Some might say we are laughing on the inside but I’m not so sure that we are brave enough to even do that.

Here is the Lawyer Speak that I heard...

Some of the humor on this show may be Insulting to Women and such humor is hereby designated by all persons related to the production and distribution of these videos as improper and it should not be inferred by anyone the any person involved in the production and distribution of these videos condones any such insulting attempts at Women Denigration Humor.

OK, I admit I may have embellished their disclaimer a bit but you get my drift... You do, don’t you?

Refer back to the Subject of this Blog Posting, What Else Can We Do To Dead People?

It is apparent that the Celebrity Roast Production & Distribution Crowd thinks it is possible to sue dead people and they are trying to wash their hands of them and all their Used-To-Be-Funny Crudeness.

Would I kid u?
