What People Care About This Week: Bill Cosby Rape Allegations

You ever have one of those situations in life or a series of events that happened that you had hoped was gone and no one would bring up again? I'm sure Bill Cosby does. For the past few weeks his history of rape allegations has been front and center in his life and while it was known by the public for quite some time it didn't come to the forefront again until a stand up routine by comedian Hannibal Buress where he made this statement.

“And it's even worse because Bill Cosby has the fucking smuggest old black man public persona that I hate. Pull your pants up, black people. I was on TV in the '80s. I can talk down to you because I had a successful sitcom. Yeah, but you raped women, Bill Cosby. So, brings you down a couple notches. I don't curse on stage. Well, yeah, you're a rapist, so, I'll take you sayin' lots of motherfuckers on Bill Cosby: Himself if you weren't a rapist. I want to just at least make it weird for you to watch Cosby Show reruns. I've done this bit on stage, and people don't believe. People think I'm making it up. That shit is upsetting. If you didn't know about it, trust me. You leave here and Google ‘Bill Cosby rape.' It's not funny. That shit has more results than Hannibal Buress.”

Since then it has resulted in shows canceling interviews with Cosby, more allegations or various forms of sexual misconduct, the cancellation of an upcoming Netflix series, and interviews that are uncomfortable for everyone except the interviewer because this stuff gets views and attention. I think the interviews bother me because it is the perfect example of the “gotcha media” that Sarah Palin's crazy ass used to complain about.

The New Breed Of Teachers

This post is going to be close to the opposite of what I just posted. Full of double standards and wrong ideas that most people wouldn't share with the public. Another hot teacher is in trouble for having sex with a student. Danielle Watkins, 32 of Connecticut, is being charged with sexual assault and selling weed. She was boning an 18 year old student and said that she was going to fail him after he tried to end their fling. The guy told police in Stamford that they had been having sex from September of last year until June of this one. He said that he and Danielle had sex during school hours but not on school grounds. On lunch breaks I'm guessing. Danielle is married with two children and let the guy drive her car even though he had no license. She also gave him weed. If this wasn't a teacher it sounds like this would be a pretty cool relationship. She also sent him naked pictures of herself because that is what nice people do for one another. The victim says when he tried to split with her she also accused him of being with someone else and assaulted him.

After police found out about her nonsense Danielle was pulled over and started getting mouthy with cops as they searched her car. She tried to hide her cell phone (which never works) as well. They found marijuana in her car and then took it along with her phone. On the phone they found 2,000 text messages, hundreds of phone calls, and naked pictures sent to the guy. Why did she save that stuff on her phone? Is that something you cell phone users do? She has been placed on administrative leave by the school.
