Jeffrey Toobin Returned To CNN After Getting Fired From The New Yorker For Masturbating On A Work Zoom Call
A lot of people had trouble adjusting to Zoom in the early days of the pandemic. I eventually had to break down and buy a light ring because I was unable to continue looking at myself under truck stop bathroom lighting. And CNN legal analyst Jeffery Toobin learned the semi-hard way that what’s appropriate for a truck stop bathroom isn’t necessarily appropriate in a work environment. Back in October, Jeffrey was on a Zoom call with his co-workers at his employer of 27-years, The New Yorker magazine. When a break was called, Jeffrey did what came naturally. He allegedly pulled out his ‘Lil Toobette and went to town not knowing (he insists) that his video was still on. An investigation ensued and Jeffrey was fired from The New Yorker and he took a leave of absence from CNN. 8 months later and Jeffrey’s back on the air at CNN being sure to keep his hands where we can see them but doing a bit too much rocking in his seat for my taste.
Elmer Fudd And Yosemite Sam Won’t Have Their Guns In The New “Looney Tunes” Reboot
When I think of Looney Tunes, I think of ridiculous violence and grisly “how could a little coyote survive that?” injuries. Classic gags like Acme brand TNT, anvils and boulders dropping on heads, and guns backfiring and exploding into faces. But you can forget about that last one, because the new Looney Tunes reboot on HBO Max is “not doing guns”. That’s right – famously trigger-happy gun nuts Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam have been stripped of their firearms. What about their (wait for me to Google…) Second Amendment rights?!
Charlize Theron Told A French TV Host To Keep His Lips To Himself
Charlize Theron has found herself in the middle of a cultural firestorm once again when she called out a French TV presenter for getting way too familiar with her translator on air. Charlize recently appeared on what I have to assume is France’s version of The Family Feud, TPMP (Touche pas à mon poste, or, Don’t Touch My Post! translated), which is hosted by someone I have to assume is France’s version of Richard Dawson, Cyril Hanouna. Charlize was there with her Long Shot costar Seth Rogen and was moved to comment when Cyril gave her translator Nadia a kiss on the cheek after getting “bossy” with her about where to stand during the segment. Sacre bleu!
