While watching some of the show, i was very offended at some of the acts namely Sarah Silverman and her singing body parts, especially since it was the butchering of such a cherished song, (Amazing Grace)

I understand it was for a laugh but you don't have to offend to such a degree.

It also goes to show the nature of the way we view comediennes today, that in order to be noticed and even hope to make a name for themselves they must resort to being overly raunchy and offensive.

Its actually very sad.


At least the cause is good. Children with autism need a better education plan in place and people working for MRDD and other education advocates need money to pay to keep caseworkers hired, because in todays system a child with autism may be chance from case worker to caseworker multiple times in a year so nothing gets done. a steady caseworker is especially important during transition training and where high-school graduation is concerned.


All aspects of Special education need adjustment and the capital to make sure the adjustments are carried out. Parents need to be better informed of their rights and schools need to not worry about paying for services the children need to succeed. if an outside entity were to pay of all disabilities services i believe more children with learning disabilities would be identified and helped. (teachers don't tell parents of suspicions of a learning disability because if they do the school is required to pay for testing and services, which is so unfair to the school, the teachers and the students, teachers must watch students suffer and struggle in school knowing that help is out there but fear for their jobs due to money and levies they stay silent)

My grand daughter has autism. When I heard about your program I thought "how wonderful!" Upon viewing, however. I was not quite pleased with the content of some of the material presented....Sara Silverman "singing" out of her vagina and her butt; the constant "bleeping" of offensive language during the roasting of Adam Sandler; Rosie O'Donnell may have been the saddest of all...other than being Jewish, gay and apparently very angry, she has nothing going for her. She is certainly not funny.
I found the program, in general, to be most inappropriate (and offensive) particularly as a fund raiser for a condition effecting mostly children.
(It wasn't all bad. Kudos, as always. to Jon Stewart. Stephen Colbert and Will Farrell.)
