For many years I had been amazed and surprised at the accolades and laudatory notice of Joan Rivers. Personally, I had always considered her as vulgar as Roseanne (just not as ugly to look at) and found her humor to reach levels of social unacceptability. She poked fun at people who had survived death camps. That is why I feel no restriction on my reaction when I express my dislike for someone and am told that so-and-so or thus-and-such is liked by many. I have said such things about television programs such as The Sopranos or movies like the G*dfather. I don't really care how many awards something receives; I would claim that there is an acceptance of the unacceptable and that to me is more frightening and disturbing.
