(When the lights go down in the city… Robocop goes to work.)
In a recent interview, Sarah Silverman shared a story about Journey lead singer Steve Perry, and let’s just say it has a lot in common with that story about what Oliver Stone supposedly said about Scarface. Basically, if you’ve ever sung “Don’t Stop Believin’” at karaoke, you are a virulent, hate-filled racist.
In an interview with Playboy set to hit newsstands tomorrow, comedian Sarah Silverman responds to questions about her provocative brand of humor by telling a story about how “the onetime lead singer of a very popular band from the 1980s” came up to her after a show and said, “You’re my favorite comedian. You have the best n*gger jokes.” Silverman didn’t outright name Journey’s Steve Perry, but she added, “I’ll just say this: After that, I stopped believin’.”
Meanwhile, in an interview with Rolling Stone, Perry predictably denied Silverman’s version of the story.
“I walked up to her after the show and I said, ‘I can’t believe that somehow you seem to be getting away with all these slurs and the n-word, I just can’t believe how you’re doing this,’ and I looked at my friend and I said, ‘I can’t believe how she’s getting away with this,’ and she looked at me and kind of smiled. It wasn’t like I was condemning her or condoning her, it was just that I can’t believe how somehow creatively she was making everybody in that club of all colors and all ethnic backgrounds laugh. That’s what it was.” [Rolling Stone]
Perry later added, “My friend was black, did I mention that? Seriously, a close, personal friend. We’re like brothers. Wait, no, that’s not what I meant to say…”
Anyway, I’m sure this post will garner plenty of “Sarah Silverman sucks” comments. Which I don’t really get. I can understand not being familiar with her stand up, and her show is an acquired taste, but have you not seen Jesus is Magic? I dunno, anyone who sings a song with the line “You can’t put your arms around a dirty gangbang cum shot,” is okay in my book. I guess I’m old fashioned like that.
If you really want to feel your IQ dropping, check out the comments on the Rolling Stone post. Haha, I love you internet race wars.

Ha HA! Well played, sir!
But somebody else is going to ask it.
Back onto topic, I think Silverman is funny, but not as funny as a lot of other people seem to think she is. The cutesy act only goes so far.
anyone married to jimmy kimmel is a winner in my book
“When the lights… go down… on the city, you best get off the street, white people.”
If the average FDcommenter can’t get behind a bit like “When I was a child I was molested by my pediatrician, a bittersweet moment for any Jewish girl” then they need to get off this boat.
She needs to stop f***ing that dog, otherwise it’s going to have puppies.
I don’t think one movie mentioned in that Oliver Stone post ever got made.
Cause he’s lovin’, oooh he’s touchin’, he’s squeezin’…a brotha!
I wanna like Sarah Silverman, but it’s just that whole “Jew” thing I can’t get past…
When the kikes
go down
in the shower.
And the coons
lay in
their graves
Oh I’m gonna get hiiigh
as a motherfucker
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Back up a minute. Sarah Silverman is going to be in Playboy? I kind of stopped reading after that.
FACT. “Separate Ways” is written from the POV of a post-Civil War plantation owner.
“Oooh all night
all night
oh every night
so hold tight
hold tight”
To this day, Klansman sing this when they start lynching.
The Asian guy who sings for Journey now is afraid to make any racist comments.
That’s right, he’s yellow.
I still hate her but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t laugh at her part in the Aristocrats.
Shit, I hope this doesn’t hurt his career.
Oh Internets, how you fuel my misanthropy and elitist narcissism…
From the Rolling Stone comments:
Steve Perry has class and intelligence. He would never use a derogatory racial slang. On the other hand, Sarah Silverman is famous for her trash mouth and use of racial slangs.
Who the fuck is Journey Singer? Brian Singer’s little sister? Stupid Hollytard names.
Someday, love will find you. Break those chains that bind you, Kunta.
Crappy, the sad part is I was wondering the same thing for a sec.
[taps temple] Great minds broham, great minds n shit.
Junkup!
Thanks to that Robocop picture I can’t stop picturing Hugh Jackman in Aronofsky’s remake. So thanks for that.
i would fuck that jewish princess any day of the week. also, the porn star song from jesus is magic is grammy worthy
How can anyone be stupid enough to believe trash like Sarah Silverman. Seriously, who’s your second favorite news source, Kathy Griffin?
I’ve heard Steve Perry on the radio. There isn’t a more PC guy on the planet. He won’t even laugh at jokes that are borderline offensive. It’s like a less edgy version of Ed Begley Jr.
Steve Perry’s ghetto pass has officially been revoked.
Ok, I”ll say it. Sarah Sucks.
