A couple years ago, Seinfeld — probably the least offensive successful comic who has ever lived — made his BS remarks about colleges being too politically correct for comedy. Since then, I’ve basically tuned him out. I just can’t hear him anymore without thinking of him as a spoiled whiny rich brat. He might still be one of the funniest people who has ever lived, but somebody other than me can laugh at his jokes. There are other shows featuring cars, other shows featuring comics, and I don’t drink coffee.
