In reply to the discussion: Louis C.K.'s 'SNL' Monologue About Child Molestation Leads to Uproar [View all]femmocrat
(28,394 posts)12. I didn't think it was that bad.....
I was more offended by the shoemaker and his elves. Ugh.
The 1970s were a different time. There were so many new "shocking" social issues to deal with all at once that I don't think people got as outraged about each one. Plus, the war and Watergate were the overriding issues of the time. At least that is what I remember through the haze of time.

Louis C.K. said something offensive? Can we be sure? It sounds so out of character.

To me it felt like he was trying to be so edgy, but I didn't find it particularly clever or funny.

There is not one time in my life I thought pedophilia was funny (in any context).
