The outrage machine has a new target, and his name is Shane Gillis.
Gillis hosted Saturday Night Live on Oct. 10. In his monologue he talked about his weight, going back to the gym, and roasting his own family. One joke about what women wear to the gym, "I didn't know women just dress like whores now," set off the online mob.
Critics are calling it misogynistic. CNN reports SNL is staying quiet.
Here's the thing: this is a comedian, doing stand-up, on a comedy show. He's crude. He's always been crude. That's exactly why millions of people pay to see him. The same crowd that cheers "edgy" comedy when it punches right suddenly discovers its fainting couch when a guy from Pennsylvania jokes about gym shorts.
You don't have to like the joke. You don't have to laugh. But the moment we decide comedians need permission from the internet to tell jokes, comedy is dead.
Here's the whole set. Watch it yourself and decide: was it actually offensive, or just funny to the wrong people?

Sorry, you're not a whore?
You're just so young and fit, I thought you were a whore.
