Youtube Fridaze: Nyquil Edition: Joe Rogan Vs Carlos Mencia



I was out of commission for most of yesterday, mainly cause the flu knocked me off my ass. Nyquil is my homeboy this weekend, and i think it would have been a lot worse if i hadn't taken some Airborne. Anyway, while i was surfing the net this week, i ran into this story about how, Love-him-or-hate-him comedian Carlos Mencia, was confronted by Former Man Show, and Fear Factor host, Joe Rogan at the Comedy Store last weekend. Joe accused Carlos of stealing other comedian's material and says he has been doing so for years, and even brought evidence on the stage, this video is worth a watch, even just to see how Mencia defends himself.
I personally, while not a big fan of Carlos Mencia,i tune into his show occasionally, his ideas (which now may, or may not be his ORIGINAL ideas) on how people of different cultures interact with one another is refreshing. But i also look at it this way, the entertainment industry has been stealing "borrowing" form each other since it has started, from Little Richard and Elvis, to the Timbaland and Demoscene Controversy. The point is plagiarism has been happening since the dawn of time, (the guy who really invented the wheel probably got his ass killed and his ideas stolen too, hell i get most of the stuff on this site from other places, at least i site my shit) and will continue to happen, but i think credit needs to be given where credit is due, and break them niggas off a piece of change too.
