This maybe a stretch... Personally I kinda knew something was off about Bill Cosby. I love both of his shows but I am talking about the person not the doctor and father on "The Cosby Show" and "A Different World". Rape is Rape plain and simple but if he did this I hope he is willing to atone for his actions and pray for forgiveness. But I always had in the back of my mind of why Lisa Bonet suddenly left the show to join another... Was it because of his actions or hers... Now I am just starting rumors and conjecture. But seriously if he did this I will be looking at him differently.

I'm giggling my ass off at the thought of Thirsty ass Janice Dickinson right about now, considering that Beverly Johnson is being considered THE credible accuser, even by Nancy Grace, when nobody made this fuss over HER.

To be honest, I only knew the name Janice Dickenson, and even then only vaguely as someone marginally famous from reality TV. I have no idea what show she is on, but I would never watch it and I am shocked you are so familiar with her and whatever she is that she is famous for. I honestly dont know why you talked about her all this time.

Anyway, I don't think Beverly Johnson broke the dam, the dam was broken weeks ago the moment it went on the front page and not the gossip page. And I don't know who everyone here knows, but since the story broke I have yet to meet even a single person who even pretended to think he might be innocent. It was obvious the guy was guilty all along the moment more than three people came forward.

The only reason I know her is because she was on the ONE reality show I did watch, which was the Surreal Life. And I was actually watching because Bronson Pinchot and Pepa was on it. But I got to see what a low life she was, during a challenge, which was a bowling contest for charity, a team of down syndrome people, and she was calling them "retards" to their faces... among other nasty crap. I had never heard of her, either before 2005. And if you have any doubts about her honesty, check out 1:50

So, you draw the line at Janice Dickinson using the word retard (which is terrible), but you see nothing wrong with mocking, laughing at, and judging rape victims?

I grew up getting called "retard" for 18 years because I walked with a bit of a limp, it means nothing to me anymore (and I have no problem with the word). That being said, that or her behavior or her drug abuse has no bearing on whether or not Bill Cosby drugged and raped Janice Dickinson or dozens of other women.

Calling that "taking on" is very generous. It's mostly an excuse for a terrible Bill Cosby impression.

The topic was also brought up by Fey in an episode of "30 Rock".

I read about that. It seemed more pointed, so I guess it was something that truly did upset her.

Beverly Johnson on Today with Tamron Hall.

I'm just going to have to save that for when I'm stronger. Maybe I'll watch it in between reading the CIA torture report and the Cleveland Police abuse report. Or maybe I'll just watch cat videos and Classic Doctor Who episodes while draining a bottle of vodka because I've hit my limit on humanity's ugliness for this week.

I recommend Terror of the Autons!

LOL! I still have your and Carl's recommendations. I put them in a Word doc just so I would be able to pull them up at a time like this.

Did I ever make some for you? Well, then I won't now, it's a long-ass list.

Allow me to recommend this course of action.

Yes. You and Carl filled a status update of mine with recs. I have two pages worth of commentary from both of you.

Allow me to recommend this course of action.

You'd be shocked at how many cat videos I've watched this week just to keep from crying. I'm all about Cole & Marmalade.

I hope you're right. I'd like something in this news cycle to not live down to my expectations.

I already believed he was guilty of everything (minus the bizarre situation with Janice Dickinson) but this account is just making me feel very strange....it seems so real. It just feels genuine and authentic.

I truly feel sad for her and I totally get why she didn't come forward because of her career. Another part of me though does think that at some point people need to value their honor/principles before their career. If someone violated my trust and my body in such a manner I really wouldn't give a damn at that point. Even if it meant that I had to go back to ITT Tech I would give up my career in acting to have some sanity and peace of mind knowing that I confronted the sick person who did that.
