Avi Yemini exposes Jim Jefferies & Comedy Central
-
@Rembrandt see, I just can't understand why this stuff happens so blatantly.
Of course I have to leave some space for another explanation but Avi simply and clearly exposed some dishonest behaviour that was transmitted to an unsuspecting audience.
Seriously this shutting down of honesty is very very concerning.
I understand that most of the population in their daily lives can't feel or see the damage this can have on our societal values, but shit, that's how cancer works....until it kills you.
I can't just ignore 50 years of discovering how and by what means we coexist in society and acquiesce to this frankly, fascist authoritarian behaviour.

More details: Looks like Comedy Central had told the FBI that Yemini and Watson were heading over to physically attack Jefferies...They even provided an old photo of Yemini with an assault rifle from his military days...
After 8 hours of detention they found a technicality to deport him. Sydney could stay as she has US citizenship but she was still interrogated and searched. I know Sydney reasonably well and this is absolutely ridiculous.
Anyway this is really starting to blow up internationally and in the long run is going to do wonders for Yemini and Watson's profile as well as be an absolute disaster for Jefferies.

@Rembrandt Upon being detained the FBI actually stated "we do not work for comedy central, we are a separate entity "
And every official he spoke to readily admitted the farce of the situation which is always heartening to hear.
Dead set case of Comedy Central (I don't know what else to call them) trying to completely wipe his story, about the JJ stitch up, from the net and public consciousness.
Worth following to see if a corporation can actually wipe a pretty big fake news story out of easy reach, and get away with it -
@Siam Well Avi's profile is skyrocketing from this, all he needs now is Joe Rogan to make a comment and it could move into the mainstream.
Avi is damn stupid to have left himself open to a visa technicality, you just don't mess with that sort of thing. Will be interesting to see if the next application gets accepted.

@Rembrandt He really has jumped the shark hasn't he?

@Rembrandt said in Avi Yemini exposes Jim Jefferies & Comedy Central:
They are struggling keeping up with banning negative comments on his twitter. His last video endorsed trans athletes including Fallon "smash a womens skull in" Fox.
It's like he is begging Joe Rogan to have a go at him.
I want my 5 minutes 43 seconds back

Perhaps 10 million a year he gets paid? We've certainly found his sell out price. Once upon a time he was an excellent comic from working class roots
Worth noting that he just delivers writing on a teleprompter, but by God the direction from the writers is shallow, vapid and disingenuous

The night Trump was elected, a bunch of comedians got together to do a podcast -Stanhope, Burr, Rogan and a few others all got drunk, smoked pot and made jokes. Jeffries turns up unannounced and uninvited to this with his toddler and man did the mood change. Not sure how well liked this clown is anymore amongst other comedians
