Even the Dudes We Like Drop Sexist Jokes



Just in case the women nominated at the Golden Globes were under the impression that they were present as an equal among peers, Robert Downey Jr. steps up to deliver a ham-fisted joke about how he’d be willing to bone them all. Or something. First his approach fails because he insinuates that they need to sleep with him in order to nail the part, but then it switches to an imagined porn scene where he offers to bang Julianne Moore, Angelina Jolie, Anne Hathaway, Annette Bening and Emma Stone all at once onstage.

Nevermind talent, ladies. All that matters is how fuckable you are. Oh, and perhaps an ability to smile through a crude joke at your own expense helps. Don't get all uppity and think too much of yourselves.
His mighty penis thus ruleth.

Seriously, if this if what passes for humour from the so-called cool guys, then what the heck are the other guys saying?
