A Stand Up Show

Take A Bow

I watched Amy Schumer's HBO special last night, and had some good laughs. I wanted to watch after reading she's accused of stealing other comics jokes. She is sex positive... sort of. I don't understand her "no condom" stance. Her persona is all about being down with casual fucking, yet she doesn't wear condoms. If she is free fucking the way she puts on, then show us the receipts for the chlamydia, gonorrhea, & herpes that comes along when barebacking by the dozens. Never have I seen someone so boldly laugh in the face of HIV. I call bull shit, and have a think-about-the-children moment because kids shouldn't be diluted by false notions that condoms will prevent them having a pleasurable sexual experience. They need to wrap it up, syphillus is on the rise!
Although 90% of her material dealt with sex, sex acts or sex organs she gripes that being labeled a "sex comic" is gender biased. She does talk about other stuff; when she isn't talking sex, she talks about eating and her weight. LA is the land of anorexics, so she is right in saying she is not the "blonde skeleton" most often found prancing after a schlub in romantic comedies, however, being a big boob blonde isn't really shaking up conventionalism. And secondly, SHE IS NOT FAT. Since when did not being anorexic equate to overweight.
It reminds me of the part in Sex and the City the movie when Samantha comes back from LA and she is supposedly a grotesque fat heifer because her midriff baring shirt isn't exposing rock-hard six pack abs. My one friend watched in the theater completely dumbfounded as the audience shook with laughter looking at how disastrous Samantha became without her gal pals. She was oblivious to the joke because, heres the kicker, Samantha pushing her stomach out like a pouty lower lip, did not transform her into a fat person.

Amy Schumer is a not-fat-not-anorexic comic who talks about sex most of the time, I'm not too sure about the joke thievery, but she is rich as fuck, so I doubt she'll suffer much of a blow. It's nothing her thick waistline of cash can't absorb. The jokes she told were funny, wherever they originated from.
