I don't think comedians take advantage of the fact that television and film are visual mediums.

Before The Simpsons, I was 4 years old, so I don't know exactly what I was thinking before that.

All motivation is defined by intention. If the intention is to hurt, divide, or belittle, it's wrong; if it's an attempt to cope with or make sense of tragedy, it's something different. If it's commenting on society's flaws, versus adding to society's flaws, I think the audience can tell.

I do think homophobia in the '80s was more rampant and socially acceptable.

I think if the joke is in good taste - it's a good joke.

When I'm watching South Park I don't think it's written by neo-Nazis. They know exactly what they're doing.

I think part of it is the fact that they were kind of the first of its kind - there weren't a lot of cartoons for adults. People forget at the time that The Simpsons started out, it was controversial - the fact that they said "hell" and "damn" in a cartoon was a lot. America was in an uproar.

I think everyone is bi, right? There's no such thing as sexual orientation, or race, or gender. Those are all obsolete man-made concepts.
