and you love, just LOVE comedians or television that is politically incorrect I have a suggestion for you. "Mind of Mencia" I caught a few episodes on comedy central when I had cable, I just rented season 1 on dvd and I've cried a couple times now because I've been laughing so hard. So yeah, good laughs, very VERY un PC and I love it. Try it out.
