Outspoken comedian Sarah Silverman has harsh words for ladies to pick to compete at the Bachelor, calling the enterprise "offensive" and degrading.
While being interviewed at the debut episode of Amanda de Cadenet's The Conversation Thursday night, the conversation turned to the ABC reality show.
She shouldn't be a fan.
"I'll inform you what's offensive about these shows... which can be on ABC during prime time," she said. "Twenty-five women in JCPenney prom dresses, fully grown, going, 'He took us to a castle!' No he didn't. Producers procured a castle."
"And there is 25 of you, that's how special you are not," she added.
Silverman, who recently sparked controversy with this abortion tweet, says that the true problem with the show isn't always that adults watch and make fun of it, but that young, impressionable girls think what they're seeing is worth emulating.
"i believe, 'Wow, some young girl is watching this, and there must be a warning saying this isn't acceptable behavior.' The most important thing that a lady should realize is that there's not only one slot for a lady in any given thing."
"i feel that's something that society, males and females both, have enforced. It's within the ether that one woman's success can only come at another's failure."
In this example, Courtney Robertson WINNING whenever another girl fails to secure a rose, taunting them to their faces or within the confessional afterwards.
No word if Sarah feels the circumstances are at the same, degrading level at the Bachelorette, during which 25 dudes pine for the affection of 1 lovely lady.
Speaking of which, look at The Bachelorette spoilers page for each of the dish at the new season, starring Emily Maynard and premiering Monday, May 14.
It could be offensively bad TV, and Sarah Silverman makes gains, but when you already know that getting in, it is easy to watch - and mock - all of it summer long.
