what in the entertainment industry is talent these days? there's not as much as there should be, so mencia is just one of many targets. but you addressed that...
you can find plenty of examples of this beyond carlos menstealia in hollywood nowadays.
I totally agree.
menstealia aka ned holness lucked out because comedy central was reeling from the loss of chappelle and they needed someone the void. chappelle's fans needed someone to fill the void too, and when menstealia was shoved down their throats, they ate it up.
and thats how it happens in the entertainment industry. someone falls, someone rises in their place.
so again, he lucked out. he was in the right place at the right time.
concur
one more time, this does not equal talent.
when did I even fucking say he's talented? when? when did I say it? quote me.
it's just a pity that people keep watching that thief and giving him props when he doesn't deserve any. they're just feeding the beast.
I watch about 3-5 hours of tv a week, mostly law and order, so I'll let this one go.
