Was just thinking about posting a Louis CK topic, crazy.

Downloading as we speak. I pirate a lot but if you can't bother to pay $5 for a new stand up dvd, or can't even contribute a couple dollars when a band like Radiohead releases an album online, then you are a complete bad person.

Back to Louis CK, is there a funnier comedian out there? Dude is approaching Carlin-status IMO. He's made about $200K profit since releasing this online dvd.

Yeah, I'm a douche because I take my own personal finances in consideration before those of celebrities.

I didn't say you were a douche, just an bad person. Only squawks need an extra $5 to keep their personal finances in order.

I'd rather keep the $5 than give a buck of it to Louis CK and $4 of it to some huge corporation.  Rich people didn't get rich by being careless with money bro.  (Except the nouveau riche maybe but I wouldn't know about that.  :kstategrad:  )

JFC people it's $5.  If you're a fan you should buy it because that dude puts a lot of work into his stuff and isn't greedy or a douche about it.  If not, you're probably not going to watch it anyway so who gives a crap.  I've paid way more for way worse stuff.

Did you not read the article where it says he did everything himself? He's paid off the production costs and is making straight profit

Quote
In a Q&A session with Reddit, C.K. explained that of the overall gross, $170,000 covered the production's costs, $32,000 paid for the development of his website and a smaller cut of the cash went to PayPal fees.

I just think for a first timer, stand up is the better intro for clams, it was for me! The show is a bit dry and I could see piss going WTF?
