Comedy Central has announced the target of this year's celebrity roast, and it's Larry the Cable Guy. This gives me so many mixed emoticons. From the press release:

If Comedy Central really wants a redneck cultural hero to roast, allow me to recommend a certain resident of Crawford, TX...

The roasts might be funny if they got rid of their standard roasters. And besides, isn't the point of a roast supposed to be a person's friends roasting them? Does Lisa Lampanelli really know everyone? And doesn't she realize that we're sick of the "fat white girls date black men" humor that seems to be all she has? Comedy Central, kick out the nobodies you fill all the roasts with and replace them with the blue collar guys this time. It'll make more sense and be a funnier show.
