Bil Browning from The Bilerico Project recently alerted GLAAD to a problematic episode of Comedy Central's Tosh.0, a program that features comedian Daniel Tosh's opinions about online media, pop culture, and celebrity news. Tosh crossed the line late last month with a severely transphobic segment in which he continuously made degrading remarks about a video featuring "The World's Tallest Model," articulating crude insinuations about her gender identity and her anatomy.
