A Britney Spears Related Post

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Craig Ferguson decided not to poke fun at Britney Spears for at least one night.
The host of CBS' "The Late Late Show" told viewers Monday that after seeing photos of the 25-year-old pop star's shaved head, he reconsidered making jokes at the expense of the "vulnerable."

"For me, comedy should have a certain amount of joy in it," Ferguson said. "It should be about attacking the powerful -- the politicians, the Trumps, the blowhards -- going after them. We shouldn't be attacking the vulnerable."
A rare glimpse of polite behavior in an increasingly impolite society.

You know, I have to hand it to him - that was a really good call. I'm no fan of Ms. Spears, but I agree she's definitely got issues.
