Was anyone else kind of creeped out by that? I love CYE, but I just thought making jokes about a rash on a minor's private area was kind really in poor taste and really not at all funny.

I thought the episode was hysterical and I thought for the most part his interaction with the girl was funny, but that one part really didn't sit well with me. Maybe I'm loosing my edge, IDK...

I thought it was hilarious. You just need a thicker skin...that was aimed to make people like you feel uncomfortable I think.

i thought they were going to reveal it was about the girl's kitten or something and make Larry wrong for assuming it was about her ....ew

I'm with you, a little too far

didn't mind it, then again I'm an overexposed, de-sensitized youth

plus it was the perfect foil to have him phoned in for child protection services, pointing to the fact that yes, it is very inappropriate.

with guys like Roman Polanski in Hollywood, this is definitely a bit too far. I didnt see it so I might be out of line or don't know the spin. However, I cant think of a scenario where I would think its fine. Get edgy with another issue, not a kid's private parts.

Let me put it this way, when the girl's mom said she had a rash down there, Larry had a "shocked" reaction (and rightfully so IMO). Then later on in the episode, he spoke of it very nonchalantly like it was no big deal.

Why would it be shocking at first but then no big deal later?? I think they were trying to say that Larry's relationship with the girl was inappropriate but I think they could have done it a better way.

Offended people should watch something else. Maybe you should make your own TV show,

because the show commonly involves larry "learning the etiquette" and then following suit after he has apparently been "corrected."

i.e. the "Cut-off time" for calling someone late or how much to tip a waiter. seems to happen all the time. great technique for getting him in trouble later when he encounters someone whose taboos/rules/morés are more in sync with the status quo

Look I'm pretty open minded, but jokes about young girl's private parts is a little much 4 me. Just saying.

I get what they were going for and honestly I think the angle could have been very funny, but I just think they did a poor job implying that Larry had an inappropriate relationship with a young girl.

it's Andrei Arshavin holding up 5, because his goal is to one up himself and score 5 goals in one game.

centerpiece is the album cover to The Dirty Projector's album Bitte Orca.

Lastly Arshavin post-goal celebration is a "ssshhh" gesture.

Not really meant to mean much besides being weird and slightly surreal, coupled with the abrasive Jenny Saville painting in my avatar. Just going for aesthetics over meaning.

to only 2 people, the mother and the doctor. it's not like he talked about it with regular people.

And Jerry... I thought the episode was great. I really hope I'm not sounding like a prude, but I just think they could have taken a better angle to convey an inappropriate relationship between Larry and a young girl.

he said it "in front" of Jerry, never directly to him. The mom and Jerry were in the same room. i said that he specifically talked like that to two people.
