>>> LOL! Jerry Lewis got a medal from the French for his comedy.

It’s not that difficult to see why.

>>> She thinks Americans are savages but lives and works here.

She didn’t say that. She said that the current forms of humor have degraded from prior times. She is right. The cheap shot and the sexual innuendo are about all that is marketed. Tina Fey just received the honor of the MARK TWAIN AWARD.

he’s subtle..the doc that is

she doesn’t look like much knife work...maybe botox and restalin....that would be a dermatologist

good genes...my wife has them too

i don’t...life ain’t fair

women can do whatever they like to look good to me....I am grateful and I’m sure whoever is sleeping with Helen is too

some serious feline envy screeching on this thread...God bless ya Helen..anyhow and btw...she did not do any graphic sex in Caligula like some did but knowing her I’m sure she got naked

contrast with not so pretty Chloe Sevigny...the darling of fashionistas who gave fellatio to Vincent Gallo in one of his weird flicks and gets applauded for her art

Helen may not be very shy but she is cool...at least to me.

I bet she would be amused that she has fans and ardent defenders on a right wing forum in The States.

I have children and have noticed that many comedy shows directed at children have just wise cracks, scatological humor, and parent put downs. This is especially true of Disney.

Gone are the days when one hears a “yes sir” or a “yes ma’am” from popular kid’s TV.
