You don’t need to be a moral paragon to recognize that taking money from the fucking bone saw guy to whitewash his shitty dictatorship is bad and will piss off your audience. Where is the line for you? If you think Burr is excused for this because his claim to fame is being a piece of shit, could he do anything you actually find unacceptable?
It’s not that black and white. Initially, the government wanted to closely police everything that was said. But they softened their stance after some back and forth. So Saudis who attended the shows were exposed to some mildly sacrilegious stuff. Religious fundamentals could frankly use a lot more of that in this world, and hopefully they will be less crazy as a result.
idk, i’m just getting tired of this hyper-fixation on holding performers to some lofty standard. He did something that isn’t remotely enough to land him in prison, so I’m going to not care at all and keep enjoying his comedy. Seems fairly reasonable to me.
What’s with people in here expecting comedians to be moral paragons? Especially Bill Burr. Dude’s whole claim to fame is being a piece of shit.
