Re: Jerry Lewis in Bologna, Cannes
You know, it's great that Jerry is around and healthy enough to enjoy these tributes, but the Guardian's headline, "Jerry Lewis: 'Women Doing Broad Comedy Bothers Me'" really bothers me. Jerry Lewis is a time traveller from another generation and we are really lucky to have him with us in ...

Folks no...
