And
matociquala does an excellent job of summing up why I really couldn’t quite bring myself to enjoy Seth MacFarlane’s hosting stint. I don’t generally enjoy put-down humor all that much. And crass put downs at an event known for high-class glamour really didn’t work for me. The fact that he had to do an entire skit about how Captain Kirk came back from the future to keep him from ruining the Oscars with his crass humor? Dude. Even you knew you weren’t right for this gig.
I have watched Seth MacFarlane make jokes about women and blacks as if we are not people with hearts. You feel vaguely depressed because somebody has just been paid a whole fucking lot of money to hate you on television, and some people don't think there's anything wrong with it.
And many other people will busily tell you that if you had a sense of humor, you could appreciate being the butt of the joke.
