People who think verbal cruelty is hilarious.

At an award show she was ripping on Paris Hilton, now I think Paris deserves a lot of ridicule, but Sarah’s venom wasn’t in a comic vein. Fuck you Silverman for making me feel bad for Paris Hilton!

When the wheelchair marathon is blocking her path: “I’ll show you what it means to overcome a physical challenge!” 😃 (From Batteries, S1 ep 6. Man this was an amazing episode, between the poop song and sleeping with God… )

I liked “I’m Fucking Matt Damon” and I laughed my ass off at “Jesus is Magic” but those are the only bits of hers I have seen.

My dad just bought the “Aristocrats” dvd, so I’ll have to give it a watch.

[Silverman heckled at London gig](http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7680076.stm)  
Seems she didn’t fare too well in London last night. $85 tickets for a 40-minute set. Is that typical in the USA?
