It got me thinking of all the other people who've caught heat for being culturally insensitive.

- South Park's Trey Parker and Matt Stone - a Libra and a Gemini.

- Jamie Kennedy caught heat for playing a wigger in "Malibu's Most Wanted" back in 2003 - he's a Gemini.

- "Borat" creator Sasha Baron Cohen, who is a Libra, for basically everything he does including the upcoming movie "The Dictator" (can't wait!).

- Robert Downey Jr. who caught heat for donning blackface in "Tropic Thunder." He's actually an Aries.

- Mike Myers caught heat for "The Love Guru" - he's a Gemini.

- Eminem actually got off on offending people (as does Simon Cowell); he's a Libra.

With the exception of Robert Downey Jr., all of those people are air signs.

I loved the Goldmember character in Austin Powers 3.

"There are only two things I can't stand in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures... and the Dutch."

I wish astrology was more widespread and mainstream so people could understand people's motives a little better. It's not that air signs are TRYING to be racist or insensitive, it's just that nothing is sacred and everything is funny.

I’m personally not a huge fan of Tosh.0 at all, but his sense of humor reminded me so much of this person that I guessed he had Aqua somewhere prominent, and sure enough his moon is either in Cappy or Aquarius. I’m thinking Aqua. Plus he’s a Gemini sun.

My Sag moon usually HATES any sort of discrimination, racism, stereotyping, etc., but I know the spirit he makes these jokes in and I find him completely hilarious anyway. My Venus is in Aqua so maybe that has something to do with it.

Sarah Silverman has a Gemini ascendant(if the birth time is right). I don’t know many other celebrities or comedians data, but I think you have some great examples, and make a really good point about the air signs!

I agree!! Take the South Park creators, for instance. How can people honestly say that they're racist when they also have made fun of every single religion out there and these are their wives?:

I also agree! Pretty much everything Dave Chappelle did in his comedy was for exactly that purpose, to show that if we can talk about and laugh at these stereotypes and laugh at ourselves, maybe they won't have so much power in a negative way.

People didn't get it though, which is why he stopped lol

I thought he stopped because he became too famous. He was offered millions upon millions to keep doing it and he just walked away and went back to anonymity.

I realized looking back that there were signs he didn't like fame - he wisecracked about people coming up to him and saying, "I'M RICK JAMES, ***** !" when he was at Disneyworld with his kids, lulz.

Yeah that too lol, he didn’t like all the fame and attention, but I think he was actually trying to make a serious statement, or at least bring up serious topics through his comedy and people just couldn’t grasp it…

"Chappelle told the crowd he knew why they liked his sketch-comedy show: "Because it's good. You know why my show is good? Because the network officials say you're not smart enough to get what I'm doing, and every day I fight for you. I tell them how smart you are. Turns out, I was wrong.

"You people are stupid."

Just to add another example (and for those of you who watch cartoons), the creator of the Boondocks Aaron McGruder is a Gemini sun last time I checked. His controversial cartoon strip/show satirizes african-american culture and (often racial) politics. Interesting observation on air signs and comedy, btw. ^_^

Or is that only what we unimaginative earth types think?[/B][/QUOTE]

In all seriousness I agree with you. I am an unimaginative earth type as well.

But I also think it would be great for every day interactions if we could learn to laugh and not take our differences so seriously
