I watched that clip on Kimmel. I don't normally watch but I like Bill Burr. Kimmel got really uncomfortable after he said Free Luigi. Not just like the network telling him, but in a way that seemed like Kimmel doesn't understand why people like Luigi.

That's okay. I don't understand why people like Kimmel.

There's lots of things I don't understand.

Like the color of thought and the sounds of a rainbow.

In my town a rainbow sounds like wet synthetic rubber tires driving by on a dry road

It feels humid but the sun is shining on your face. Your feet are wet if you are barefoot.

Then turn around, that’s what a rainbow is

Sometimes you get a double when a big truck rolls by

As if. It meant something. But it’s just rain and sun, moon and stars.

You can almost feel the bass

Kimmel is really quiet leftist, so he gets it. But he's also beholden to network executives who only understand money and the things that make them money. And advertisers don't like Luigi or the idea that CEOs are disposable.

Kimmel is a brogressive limousine liberal.

That doesn't make him a bad guy, but based on what I've seen of Kimmel it's entirely possible that he would not understand

Evidently what sells is dead ceos and he's missing the ball.

Kimmel gets it...his advertising people won't be happy about it though.

I think a lot of rich leftists are hoping that shit holds together long enough that they can die comfortable, even if it means poor people have to suffer decades.
