Taking no chances on Florida's political leaning this November, Sarah Silverman is urging Jews with Sunshine State-based grandparents to schlep down there and convince them to vote for Barack Obama. Because, as she says, blacks and elderly Jews are super similar, like the fact that they both like track suits and Cadillacs. It's a fact!

The boundaries of queer-minded comedy come up once again this fine Friday, thanks to a gay punch line and some politically-minded video editing.

Jimmy Kimmel got some aural revenge on girlfriend Sarah Silverman this weekend. Silverman caused a comedic rift when she sang about fucking Matt Damon. Well, Kimmel had a trick up his sleeve and that trick's named Ben Affleck.

Note Affleck's shiny top, the universal gay uniform.

Is Sarah Silverman back up to her old, offensively funny tricks? The comedienne allegedly composed and dedicated some tunes for World AIDS Day, the international celebration of the ugly plague. Here's a sample:

I’m not black
I’m not gay
And Africa is so far away
But what’s one more December holiday?
Happy AIDS Day anyway

Totally sick, totally demented and totally something Sarah Silverman would - thankfully! - sing.

There is, however some debate over whether this insensitive insanity actually came from Silverman. Copyranter's source claimed that Silverman penned this jam for her Gap (Red) Campaign, which raises AIDS awareness. That's fishy, because obviously the Gap would never in a jillion billion years play this song. The incongruity of the story, however, doesn't necessarily mean Silverman didn't write it. And if she did not pen this piece of brilliance, we'd love to meet the man or women who did, because they deserve a prize - we've yet to decide what exactly, maybe AIDS?

Did PR Push Go Too Far By Pitting Gays Against Families?


Jerry Seinfeld and Matthew Broderick recently teamed up for an NBC-sponsored slot to publicize their over-hyped animated flick, Bee Movie, which opens today.

Though we never intended on seeing this schlock, we're definitely not going to see it after watching the aforementioned clip, which smacks of incendiary homophobia and creates a rift between gays and "families".

You Be The Judge. (We think not.)

Homophobia comes in all shapes and forms. It can be slashing a gay couple's tires or a subtle intimation of pedophile tendencies. What it can't be, however, is funny. One reader apparently ain't laughing at the these Sarah Silverman quips. He writes:

If you are a hipster like Sarah Silverman, are you granted special permission to
be a bigot?

And say things like "I don't mean fag like homosexual, I mean fag like retard"?
My friend who is the parent of a mildly learning disable child might take
offense at that one.

And what about saying "Gay. Bisexual. They are both gross."

As in the queer case of Choire Sicha, we actually think Silverman's funny. Are we being homophobic? Should GLAAD take on Sarah Silverman and her rascally ways? Listen:
