Toilet Babies? Natasha Leggero? Too much? Here’s an easy click through from the WNK crew. We are currently either relocating to Costa Rica or vacationing in Peru (because we can) and promise to ramp things up again very soon.

From Roseanne’s Nuts on Lifetime:
Roseanne Barr: “The most out-there thing I’m saying is, ‘Don’t have babies. Don’t get married and have kids. Have a larger life than that.’”
Roseanne Barr’s (grown) son: “You have five kids! You can’t talk about that. You have five!”
Roseanne Barr: “I know I do, that’s why I have the right to say it! If somebody would come to me when I was sixteen years old and go, ‘You don’t have to get married or have a baby, that’s bullshit!’ I would have fuckin’ flipped! Cause I never heard one human say anything like that. I was so brainwashed to have five kids for the Jewish Nation. And now I’m like, wow, that wasn’t even my own life!

2 Videos: Childfree Chelsea Handler
September 8, 2011 by 12 Comments
For those of you that saw our previous FB post of childfree Chelsea Handler and asked for more, we borrowed this one from Alvaro and our friends on “Happily Childfree“.
Ms. Handler is one of the few female comics (that I know of) with the balls to twist her own taboo baby bashing into thought provoking and funny. Louis C.K.’s “Kids Suck” rants are touching and funny and Aziz Ansari’s take is hilarious too, but the first is a parent and neither would seem to risk the wrath of mommies like a female comic does when she says
“I could have been a mother too okay, three times, but I made the right decisions.”
What do you think? Do you have examples of other women doing this kind of comedy?
Here’s Chelsea Handler’s interview that we posted on Facebook in May:
I’m not sure if the interview occurred before or after the Laugh Factory routine.
