Here we go!
Classical music gets insulted maybe for the first time this openly on television by Craig Ferguson. Maybe you saw this episode. I never watch the show myself. I only saw the first minute or so on You Tube and had to post it here. It's halarious!
Get ready (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkuSt2liSpM).

EDIT: Maybe not 'funny'...more like sad. Just another negative finger pointed at classical music. Like we need another one... :(
Where did it get insulted? ???
Just seemed negative for some reason... :(
nah, it's not that offensive, it's kinda funny though. If we have more fights in concerts, classical music might get more publicity, people might start to go attend concerts again!

I'd never heard of him either, but when I stay up late, I don't waste time watching TV. :)
I appreciate that one of the first thing he thinks about in connection with classical music is "The Rite of Spring".
Souping up the reaction with a laugh track did not make the comments particularly funny.
As an Irishman maybe Craig needs to uncork his rye humor to be really funny! :o

I will, and although I'm neither, I know that they'll be round to beat two kinds of shit out of him. >:D

Yeah, you waste time on internet message boards complaining about TV.

Craig Ferguson is a Scot. He's from Glasgow, the heart of industrial Scotland.

*thwacks*
I've never heard of Craig Ferguson, so I assume he's Scottish. We've got very few international-level comedians here, and, alas, even fewer who are particularly funny.
