''Monty Python star John Cleese has caused a stir once again by tweeting out an ‘apology’ for using ‘white English people’ as the butt of the joke in past sketches, a reaction to ''The Simpsons actor Hank Azaria apologising for voicing an Indian character.

Cleese has previously railed against cancel culture, hitting out at permanently offended woke people, insisting that they have no sense of humour and are contributing to the death of comedy.

Not wishing to be left behind by Hank Azaria, I would like to apologise on behalf on Monty Python for all the many sketches we did making fun of white English people

We're sorry for any distress we may have caused.

While many lauded Cleese for his response, the woke mob immediately jumped on and accused him of white privilege:

Thread 1/3 - Sorry, John, but this is #WhitePrivilege showing. Watching shows from the 50s, 60s, 70s, movies from the 30s, 40s, and on, there were lots of white people, so there could be a smart white guy, a dumb one, a funny one, a serious one, etc.

2/3 If there was a person of color on screen, since I was a white person, I didn't pay any attention. It was just another character - dumb black guy? So what? There's a bunch of dumb white guys. But the problem is there was only ONE black guy.

Others started to search for things about Monty Python and Cleese’s other show Fawlty Towers to be offended at, which Cleese appeared to find hilarious.

The shows both used stereotypes to drive the comedy. The funny comes from the fact that the characters engaging in the stereotypes are the ones being laughed at, a nuance completely lost on the woke cancel mob.

"Actually all jokes are unnecessary"

"But a few people get pleasure from them, although only if they have a sense of humour"

"Don't bait the Vegans."

"They don't have enough on their plates anyway"

Azaria, who played the shopkeeper character Apu on the cartoon for decades now says wants to seek out “every single Indian person in” the “country and apologize.”

Paul Joseph Watson

@PrisonPlanet

That guy who voiced Apu’s apology is the most pathetic drivel since the Mumford and Sons guy’s capitulation. Risible nonsense.

ALL Simpsons characters are stereotypes. That's how the show works.

As a German, I'd feel very silly were I to express outrage over Üter Zörker.

No Scotsman I know has ever found Groundskeeper Willie offensive.

Bernie Madoff Has Died, Age 82

BY TYLER DURDEN - WEDNESDAY, APR 14, 2021 - 09:31 AM

Just over 12 years after he was jailed for the largest ponzi scheme fraud ever, AP reports that Bernie Madoff has died in a federal prison.

Madoff died at the Federal Medical Center in Butner, North Carolina, apparently from natural causes, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Last year, Madoff's lawyers filed court papers to try to get the 82-year-old released from prison in the COVID-19 pandemic, saying he had suffered from end-stage renal disease and other chronic medical conditions. The request was denied.

A court-appointed trustee has recovered more than $13 billion of an estimated $17.5 billion that investors put into Madoff’s business.

At the time of his arrest, fake account statements were telling clients they had holdings worth $60 billion.

>While incidence of the flu plummeted 98% this year largely because of lockdown and COVID-19 precautions such as wearing masks and social distancing, millions of people contract the flu each year.

I'm calling BULLSHIT on this paragraph. 98% of influenza was called covid this year. Rhinovirus, Corona virus and influenza virus are all respiratory viruses and spread the same way.

Calling influenza covid doesn't mean we didn't have a flu season this year and obviously just as Corona spread even with masks and social distancing, colds and flu did the same.

CNN staffer admits network is trying to aid Black Lives Matter==__'''

Black Guns Matter founder: Most Americans see the ''fake media CNN is

Maj Toure reacts to CNN staffer caught admitting the network is trying to help BLM movement on 'Fox News Primetime'

Black Guns Matter founder Maj Toure told "Fox News Primetime" host Lawrence Jones Thursday that he’s "not surprised at all" a CNN staffer was caught admitting the network is trying to help the Black Lives Matter movement.

TOURE: It is par for the course. They have one playbook and the playbook has been exposed. The frustrating part is the fact the American people still allow it, and I can't even say the American people are tricked by it. We allow it, right? This isn't surprising. We are seeing Big Tech hide behind government, Section 230, and basically manipulate. So this is not surprising at all to me, I think most Americans see the fake media that CNN actually is.

The reality is people like you on Fox that are putting out a genuine message that resonates with that demographic. Now what’s happening, because all of our smartphones and technology, we are seeing it and being more vocal about it. These are our communities that are being manipulated by extreme left media telling a story that is not accurate, and people that have conservative and libertarian-minded values in urban centers outnumber the small amount of people that have been manipulating and doing things. We have been seeing it for a long time, but now there is more and more people that look like me, that wear hoodies, that wear jeans, that don’t always have on a suit and tie, they are being much more vocal about it, and I love it.

We [Black Guns Matter] deal on a very basic premise. There is a very serious overlap between conservative principles and libertarian principles. Neither one of them is perfect, nothing is, but we live by the premise of don't hurt people, don't touch their stuff, and don’t bother their things. I think all Americans, urban, suburban, rural, are there. That is more of a libertarian philosophy in that regard. There is that overlap and we have to create that space. We see the left is going to become extremely, you know, all the beefs they have between their different types of feelings and issues, when it is time to address our freedoms and liberties, they get on the same page. How we have been successful is making sure that liberty message is there, but not isolating our brothers and sisters in the conservative movement, because we have to get organized. They have all of the media. Fox is holding it down, but there ain't much time left. So we have to organize, and those have to be liberty-based principles.

Third Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine dose ‘likely’ needed within year, CEO says

Regimen could also require annual vaccinations, CEO Albert Bourla said

By Kayla Rivas | Fox News

Those who completed the two-dose regimen for Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine will likely need a third shot within 12 months, CEO Albert Bourla said.

There is also a chance people will need to receive an annual COVID-19 vaccine thereafter, he said.

"It is extremely important to suppress the pool of people that can be susceptible to the virus," Bourla told CNBC’s Bertha Coombs in a CVS Health Live event, "Race to Vaccinate."

Pfizer recently announced updated results indicating its vaccine was highly effective up to six months after the second dose, with findings stemming from over 12,000 participants in a late-stage trial. Findings included a 91.3% vaccine efficacy against COVID-19, and over 95% efficacy against severe disease.

In February, the company began testing whether a third shot could offer greater protection against emerging strains of the virus, like the concerning strain first detected in South Africa. The recent data released also included findings from 800 participants in South Africa, and nine COVID-19 cases occurred, all in the placebo group.

"None of the 400 vaccinated got infected, very very good news," Bourla said. Based on the data, the CEO said there was a need for re-vaccination between six and 12 months and also an annual re-vaccination.

However, this needs to be confirmed, Bourla said.

"There are vaccines that’s like polio that one dose is enough, there are vaccines like pneumococcal vaccine that one dose is enough for adults and there are vaccines like flu that you need every year," Bourla said. "The Covid virus looks more like the influenza virus than the polio virus."

Meet The World's Most Advanced Beer-Pissing Robot

BY TYLER DURDEN - THURSDAY, APR 15, 2021 - 10:50 PM

YouTuber Michael Reeves was able to get his hands on a Boston Dynamics' robot dog Spot and teach it how to pee beer into a cup. The video, which has gone viral and has more than 6.6 million views.

''"It's an engineering masterpiece, I wanna make it piss beer into a cup,"'' Reeves said, who was quoted by NYPost. The 16-minute clip runs through Reeves' development process of teaching Spot how to piss beer in a cup.

By the 9:39 minute mark of the video, Reeves unveils the "pissbot" and tells viewers this is the "future of alcoholism."

So here's how pissbot works. You can be anywhere in the room and place the cup on the ground. The robot will find the cup and walk to it using sensors, eventually aligning its piss nozzle and filling up the beer cup.

Reeves explains the technology works about 35% of the time. The cutting-edge pisspot failed several attempts but eventually succeeded, pissing a nice cold brew into a solo cup with precision.

Since Boston Dynamics recently made Spot commercially available, others have programmed the robot dog to survey oil rigs and buildings. Others have strapped paintball guns to the Spot, which angered the robotics firm. Even the French Army is testing Spot.

Spot's terms and conditions prohibit the use of weaponizing the robot "to harm or intimidate any person or animal, as a weapon, or to enable any weapon." One could argue that if Spot is used as a reconnaissance robot, it would indirectly harm a human being (a gray area).

So pissing beer in a cup is fine, but using the robot for warfare is frowned upon by the company.

At the end of the video, Reeves travels from Los Angeles to Boston Dynamics' headquarters in Waltham, Massachusetts, to take a piss, showing his respect for the robotics company.
