What makes you say he's a jerk? Maybe a little egotistical and he wrote some jokes that were in bad taste but honestly who hasn't?
What he wrote I found pretty innocuous in comparison to some comedians' stand-up comedy acts. It was a silly comedy piece.
I mean I don't know why he made a list of 50 characters. I'm hard pressed to make some sort of top 20 list honestly.
As for the whole, "turning a lesbian straight thing," I don't agree with it but are we going to ban Goldfinger the movie and the book because Sean Connery did the same thing as James Bond?
