Jim Carrey slammed for portrait resembling Sarah Huckabee Sanders
- Thread starter Coyote Starrk

I know that Carrey has had some strange views in the past but God damn if one of the side effects of the Trump presidency is him coming back into good graces with the world it would really make me happy for Jim. Been a fan of his since In Living Color; his Vanilla Ice parody is amazing.
So cool, you really get the sense he is just doing what ever the fuck makes him happy. Good for him.
Awesome that he's doing what he wants. But for some un-explainable reason I'm really fearful I'll wake up to hear he committed suicide some day. I don't mean to be crass or inappropriate... but he just seems like someone that might really be fighting internally. They say it's the ones that appear happiest are often hurting the most, ya know?
Yeah, I worry too. I wonder why so many late life comedians struggle so much?
I thought this after Jenny McCarthy left him then his other ex committing suicide. I'd like to think that him painting is his way of keeping those demons at bay.
Fucking dead.Yup. My buddy just whipped this up.
Your friend is a genius, it fits perfectly
There's nothing funny to me about cracking jokes about developmental disabilities.
that's it,
Don't let me stop you from laughing at the disabled.
What? Why would it take guts? It's not like he doesn't have anything else to fall back on. This is a hobby. Like Bush's painting or Bernie Sander's wife's colleges.
all i'm saying is he's improving noticeably, perception is a tough muscle
If Jim is carrying much of his spiritual views, he's more aware that suffering comes from a belief in a self. If he keeps in touch with that, I think self-harm is a non-starter.
I'd argue he's fine, even if when it comes to interviews, people are confused when he says stuff like "Jim Carrey does not exist". It loops right back to the point of suffering and self that he seems to deeply understand.

seriously....u have to be retarded to say something that insensitive
Yeah, I just reported this trash.
Honestly shocked by how many here are fine with using pejoratives against the disabled.

Look man, I can't tell you what to be offended by. You will shape your generation's norms. What I can say, as someone over 40, is that we don't see it the same way you do. Calling someone retarded was never about making fun of actual retarded people (and that used to be a clinical term). It was letting people who should know better know how you thought about their poor decisions or perspectives. We really should have stuck with "stupid", but we didn't. Our reasoning was that no retarded person really ever got offended by a non-retarded person being called retarded. You compare people to something THEY think is offensive because you want to offend THEM. It's like calling someone a pussy (no offense intended). It only works on men. You could have stuck with wimp, but folk got creative in their insults. I'm sure we'll stick to one non-offensive word for every concept in the very near future. That's up to your generation.
Sure, and I bet calling someone a "fag" on the schoolyard was never about hurting LGBTQ people. Maybe you should consider the impact of your vernacular on others, rather than your own personal definition.
I'm done here.
That was also about insulting a person's sexuality by insinuating that someone who didn't like guys liked guys. Unfortunately, that one was also used to hurt those in the LGBTQ community. Virtually everyone who used to use that one knows it's wrong. It's all over 80's movies (try watching Monster Squad). I can't defend our use of that one. Again... We should have stuck with stupid, but as a culture and not individuals, we didn't. And it's hard for us to throw away the part of our brains that found it acceptable, even when we get your point. Don't worry... We've got 40 to 50 years Max before we die out and your kids berate you for the fucked up shit you don't even know your're doing right now.
It's pretty accurate for a political caricature of that person. I'm not seeing the issues with the portrait. Maybe they don't like the message below it? The picture is fine though and surprisingly executed decently!
A lot of people claim that in Canada, the slang term for a prison bus is "short bus". I can't comment on whether that's true, but I don't think anyone except Americans use the term "short bus" to insult or refer to disabled people.
Mr. Carrey just recently did a portrait of Rudy Guiliani.
I swear, Carrey should do a whole series of these on Donald Trump's entire cabinet, and the Democrats should plaster them all over the walls at their next convention the way that movie theaters do with publicity posters featuring a single character for an upcoming summer blockbuster. A lot of people got a kick out of his Sean Hannity portrait, but I honestly think that these simple caricaturized renditions like the one above are so much more effective in causing more impact. And to go back to Sarah Huckabee Sanders, I love it that he never names her explicitly, and that it's her defenders that are forced to point this out when criticizing Mr. Carrey.
