^Makes sense - that's why everyone hates PFT's characters too. Why would Garry Marshall and Ice-T know about sci-fi and comic books?

If nothing else, this whole controversy created the most commented-upon thread in the history of CBB episode threads.

God, I love Huell Howser. That was great of Scott to get him to leave the door open for a future appearance someday down the road.

"Maybe you're a fan of his co-hosting/musical-director duties on podcast-turned-TV-show Comedy Bang! Bang! (which is filming a second season in February for IFC)." Scott's been scooped!

I just don't get why it has be 'sexism.' Can't we just not like the character of Nancy Cooper? Seems like people like literally every other female that has appeared on CBB, with Wompler probably on the top of the pile. Until this debate, I never even viewed the podcast guests as male or female, really. I mean I obviously knew who was who, but I just didn't care. It's the whole 'racism/sexism is in the eye of the beholder' thing. If you say something totally innocuous with no intention of sexism, and someone else perceives it as sexist and makes an outcry, isn't it that someone else's fault for dragging into the realm of sexism? Not that sexism and racism don't exist, of course, but I swear half the problems we have with these things stem from people who view everything through a lens of 'oh, that was sexist? did they mean that in a racist way? I bet they did! pariah! apologize for what you said!' when really, people are just being real.

Doesn't the fact that Marissa Wompler is one of the most popular characters kind of rule out the sexism angle?
