remember andrea dice clay?
comedy central's self-professed insult comic lisa lampanelli's act reminds me instantly of an old "in living color" sketch in which kelly coffield appears as "andrea dice clay" (a female version of the much-maligned comedian andrew "dice" clay), brash and pottymouth'd and built to shock. but really she's only a meaner carlos mencia. people didn't understand that "dice" was a stage character being played by an actor, which leads me to wonder if lisa is doing the same thing or not. one thing's for sure in my opinion: it's not a radical act to "be just as filthy as the guys are" when you step into an arena dominated by males. women are smarter and should know better. that's why after hearing lisa's record i think she has more in common with condoleezza rice and ann coulter than any dirty male comedian.
