What I find extremely off-putting about this is that the comedian is using slams against an individual (whether those slams are legitimate or just rumors) in order to...

Fundraise for a [i]food bank[/i]?

What's the connection between "Ellen is a jerk" and "people need food in this time of crisis"?

It's strange and distasteful, more encouragement of ugliness in an ugly time.

I am no fan of DeGeneres, dislike her show, and find her and her comedy unfunny. Yes, there have been so many stories of her meanness for so many years that I do not doubt there are people out there telling the truth about her behavior. But whoever the target is, and however much the target deserves being called out, it seems gross for anyone to say "let's dredge up all the ugly stories" and to do it under the guise of charity to help others. The comedian could have asked for people to post something positive like good encounters with celebrities, if he wanted to go the celeb route. But that wouldn't have gotten him nearly the attention this has, right? [/quote]
