Just wondering...has anyone gotten an unusual number of "How do I get into voiceovers?" emails in the last couple of days? _________________ Doug Turkel (tur-KELL)

Taken in isolation, the word looks harsh... but (to me) a lot of his humour is based on perpetuating stereotypes... and he even makes the point that he's able to use language that I can't. Some may say that humour breaks down barriers, and for the most part I agree, but I honestly feel that in this case it's not the clever observational comedy that makes us think, but something more insidious that deepens divisions.
He knows very well what he does, and has made a very good living out of it. He is talented and I applaud his success, while at the same time not finding him funny... but that's just a matter of taste.
I think this has now strayed into no-go territory. Sorry Deebs _________________ Bish a.k.a. Bish
