The New York Times picks up our exclusive Joan Rivers-AOL censorship story-- and copies our TMZ angle-- without giving us credit, of course

We reported exclusively on Monday that AOL had backed out of a deal to link to and promote Joan and Melissa Rivers' Emmy red carpet coverage on MyHollywood.com because the AOL suits found their zingers and comic commentary to be offensive.

And we had a good laugh, seeing that AOL sponsors, owns and hosts the subliterate swill-spewing celebutard space, the corporate porn-pushing gossip site TMZ.com:

"...AOL is offended? AOL is an owner of the corporate porn-pushing gossip site, TMZ.com, that cesspool of celebutard sleaze that oozes out piles of lowbrow, poorly-written smut like these headlines from today..."

Well, today the New York Times got into the act. They finally covered the story-- a little late, but hey-- and took our angle, to boot:

"...But when AOL saw the video it rescinded the offer, telling MyHollywood it was too offensive - which is saying something considering that AOL has ties to the raunchy celebrity gossip site, TMZ.com..."

Did they give us credit, a plug or a link? Of course not. But then again, if those nudniks copying our coverage of the Israel Baseball League couldn't give a nod, what can we expect from the Old Gray Lady?

EXCLUSIVE!! AOL BANS JOAN & MELISSA RIVERS!! TMZ'S OWNER CLAIMS IT WAS "OFFENDED" BY THEIR EMMY RED CARPET REVIEW ON MYHOLLYWOOD.COM!!

After all the talk about political censorship at last night's Emmy Awards, we just got word that the war against free speech has spread in the most ridiculous and hypocritical fashion, as AOL has censored and banned Joan Rivers!

Joan and daughter Melissa last night delivered their by-now-traditional politically-incorrect and often very funny red carpet commentary for the new website MyHollywood.com. AOL, which hired the team for its Oscar red carpet coverage earlier this year, had a deal to hype and link to the video clips.

But when the AOL suits got a listen to Joan and Melissa's observations, they said they were offended and refused to link to MyHollywood.com! Watch the clip above. Was it their criticism of Oprah Winfrey? Or Joan's sighting of a "Third Reich Hair" trend?


Either way, it's to laugh. AOL is offended? AOL is an owner of the corporate porn-pushing gossip site, TMZ.com, that cesspool of celebutard sleaze that oozes out piles of lowbrow, poorly-written smut like these headlines from today:

Poke 'Em-- She Hardly Knew 'Em
Smothers to Emmys: It's About F'n Time!
Cook's Crappy Defense: Belushi's Ghost Owns Me

AOL banned Joan and Melissa Rivers over a free speech issue?

The Rivers' commentary sounds to us like traditional Jewish American humour in the spirit of Mel Brooks' The Producers, Springtime for Hitler, Jackie Mason's "Nazi bastards"-- even Seinfeld's "Soup Nazi"-- Wait a minute! We're explaining this? Joan Rivers is one of America's most cherished comedians. Did anyone notice that they showed George Carlin's picture twice in the Emmys Dead Celebrities tribute?

Funny that MyHollywood.com is a very friendly femme-based destination for celeb and entertainment news, casual games, fashion and community. Sounds like AOL is jealous of the competition.
