Recently, Adam Carolla, comedian and former host of The Man Show, went on a bit of a tear during his podcast. The eight-minute rant, starting in response to an online petition to let Muppets Bert and Ernie get married on Sesame Street, covered a lot of ground. Carolla told us about his testicles, about anime cartooning, and even conversations he has with his penis.

As entertaining as those may be, the bigger issue was comments he made about transgender people.

Quote from: articleHe seems a low-rent comedian cut from the same cloth as a Howard Stern or an Andrew Dice Clay.

Howard Stern was funny at least some of the time.  Carolla is funny none of the time.
