When Will Judd Apatow’s Bravery End?
The bravery of comedian Judd Apatow knows no bounds: last night on the Tonight Show, Apatow returned to his favorite topic—rape—and guess what? He’s against it! So bold.
Apatow, of course, first came out publicly against Bill Cosby in January when he tweeted, officially, that the things Cosby has been accused of are bad. An unpopular opinion, perhaps, but one he’s courageously stuck to over, and over, and over, and over.
It's official. No one is defending @BillCosby anymore. Those tweets have dried up.

Last night, Apatow stepped up his brave campaign by impersonating Cosby on the Tonight Show. The passable routine is earning Apatow gushing accolades—why? For daring to criticize a man so unpopular that even the president of the United States has called the allegations “clearly rape.”
Truly subversive stuff. (As Vulture reports, “Yep, he went there. He really went there.”) What will he take on next? Human trafficking? ISIS? The second season of True Detective?

Maybe one day we’ll all feel secure enough to come out against rape. But until then, hero Judd Apatow is on it.
Anyway, what’s Hannibal Burress up to these days?
