122. you a Carlin fan?
I love his stuff...he's so "no nonsense".

Still though...I think Carlin's raw...but he was funny with his attack on bulimia and anorexia victims...and Chris Rock has made similar jokes as well.

Both of them converge on their beliefs that, at the root of it, anorexia and bulimia are diseases of affluent, priviliged Western societies.

Chris Rock eloquently puts it best, "You don't see people being allergic to food in the Third World". He was making fun of the food-related diseases that occur in our over-indulgent society.
