ROBIN WILLIAMS' SICK IDEA OF HUMOR Robin Williams makes our Hall of Shame for his remarks made on the Tonight Show and his later pathetic explanation. June 19, 2007 Last night on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, comedian Robin Williams plugged his upcoming movie, License to Wed. In the film, Williams plays a Protestant minister who forces an engaged couple to go through a grueling marriage preparatory course. But last night Williams went off on Catholic priests, painting them all as pedophiles. Williams pretended to be playing a game where the pedophile is hidden under a cup. Here we go. Find the priest, find the pedophile. Find the priest, find the pedophile. Here you go right now. Move em around, move em around. Oh, you found the pedophile. Williams then put his hand over his groin, saying, You have to realize that if you are a Catholic priest, you have retired this. That's itno more sex. Then he took a shot at confession: But they are going to put you in a small dark box and people are going to tell you the nastiest sexual stuff they have done. Catholic League president Bill Donohue spoke to this issue today:
Isaiah Washington lashes out at one gay person in private, and he is banished from Grey's Anatomy.' Robin Williams lashes out against all priests in public, and he suffers no consequence. To top it off, Williams suggests that most molesting priests are pedophiles, when in fact they are homosexuals. But to make a joke about gay priests could get him into trouble. So it's better to lie. This is justiceHollywood style. One more thing: in an interview with MoviesOnline, Robin Williams recently said that you can't poke fun at certain religions,' noting that we just made major fun of the Catholic Church but hey, they don't blow you up.' So not only is Williams a bigot and a liar, he's a coward. No wonder he's so well received in Tinseltown.
