What’s funny about this is there’s never been anything edgy about Jerry Seinfeld’s standup act. And as far as Seinfeld goes he was barely involved in the writing. That was all Larry David and other talented writers. Of 180 episodes Jerry Seinfeld had 18 writing credits and all of them were shared with Larry David. Of those 18 credits 5 were in the first season which is undeniably the show’s weakest and most forgettable. Jerry was always just the name. Larry was the talent.

I guess that’s probably why Larry David just wrapped the final season of Curb this year while never once complaining about “not being allowed to do comedy” anymore like Jerry is. Turns out, you’ve always been allowed to do whatever comedy you like, you just have to actually be funny.

but it’s very telling that this will assuredly get almost no coverage on big news networks like abc, cbs, fox, etc.

ABC News - Active-duty airman sets himself on fire outside Israeli Embassy, Air Force confirms

CBS News - U.S. Air Force member sets himself on fire outside Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C., in apparent protest against war in Gaza

Fox News - US service member sets himself on fire outside Israeli Embassy in DC

and virtually no coverage in the larger papers like the NYT

New York Times - A man set himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, the police said.
