Hey, our money-burning stunt that got us on Reuters and the BBC and has made us the “talkie” of the day in Sweden doesn’t get a mention?
You typed “Amy Goodman” but you meant Amy Richards. I love the Freudian slip, though! An Amy Goodman-led camp is my dream.
hi!
it should be Amy Richards, not Amy Goodman.

I just wanted to point out that the feminist summer camp is put on by Amy Richards not Amy Goodman.
Additionally, and I apologize if this was covered elsewhere on the site and I missed it, some of the women who work on the Daily Show responded to the Jezebel article here:http://jezebel.com/5580512/female-employees-of-the-daily-show-speak-out.
Doh, thanks folks! Total brain fart.
yay, lisbeth salander
Frustratingly, (but not necessarily just the women’s responsibility at the Daily Show) the show’s jokes itself (usually when trying to make hilarious sexual/women related jokes) often piss me off quite a bit, which is what made it so easy for me to believe that it is a ‘boys’ club.’
I”m not sure if actually burning $13,000 dollars impresses too many, especially in the middle of a major recession/depression. In fact, speaking only for myself, I think this “stunt” is an extreme display of privilege and ignorance.
Yeah, I wasn’t entirely happy with the response from their end, since I felt like it would have been a great chance to discuss the issues women face in comedy.
