RAINN WILSON KIDS SERIES

New York Emmy® Award nominated and Screen Actors Guild Awards® winning actor, writer and producer Rainn Wilson, with help from HGTV real estate and renovation experts Drew and Jonathan Scott, will surprise his son’s former nanny, Leslie, with a life-changing home makeover in a new episode of HGTV’s hit series Celebrity IOU on Monday, Jan. If they can't pull off that trick, stick to fishing for retweets by telling people it's your birthday.Episode Also Available to Stream on discovery+ Beginning Jan. Maybe the rule of thumb is that people can offend, but they should also be funny while doing it (and, yeah, avoid joking about rape). But you have to wonder if there's some middle ground to be found between 24-7 PC-policing and defending those who make rape jokes on Twitter. Wilson has, of course, apologized, and we'll probably forget sooner rather than later, barring any uncomfortable rape joke flare-ups.

'I thought it was hilarious don't let the squeamish masses stop you from being funny,' says one. Another responds, 'NO JOKES ALLOWED ON TWITTER.' Still, now there's also backlash to the backlash, with people on Twitter supporting Wilson. Rainn Wilson, who plays Dwight, is about to find that out.' If you’re best known as Dwight Schrute, strangely lovable egomaniac and weirdo on NBC’s The Office, you probably can’t. Steve Huff wisely points out that it's Wilson's reputation that led to the ensuing drama in the first place: 'If you’re a relatively obscure stand up comedian or just some dipwad with a few thousand followers, you might be able to get away with really tasteless or offensive joke tweets. Wilson still has 2,887,909 followers, in any case, so it's not like this has destroyed his reputation. But the punishment 'machine' it sets in motion can be equally bad. We're also at risk of perpetuating a culture of empty, meaningless apologies.

RAINN WILSON KIDS HOW TO

If there's anything we really should learn here, it's how to be better people in this connected world, not how to pile onto a popular cause, or anti-cause, with self-righteousness based primarily on the desire to be pissed off about something, anything. If we just look for outrage eruptions-ways to feel that spike of disapproval and the sense of community that comes from being in a virtual pitchfork-carrying mob-we're at serious risk of the PC-police preventing anyone from saying anything truly original, risky, or good. This is not a defense of Wilson's rape joke my personal belief is that he shouldn't have made it, and that he should have apologized. But there's also a risk of anger for the sake of anger, shaming just to shame. It's the frequency of these Twitter takedowns, punishments, and apologies - the machine that gets put in motion almost by rote now - that's both impressive and a little bit scary. And Wilson isn't person to have made a terrible joke on Twitter, nor is he the first public persona to get in trouble for something he said via social media. But countless comedians have made their names with off-color, offensive jokes. Surely, there will be those who say he should have apologized faster and not only that, that he never should have made the joke in the first place. RainnWilson February 21, 2012ħ to 11 - that's a 16-hour-offense-to-apology timeframe, a lifetime in the Twitter era. Not a good topic to joke about.Sorry & won't do that again. Apparently my poorly conceived date-rape tweet upset a lot of folks.
