Irrespective of having the TED perspective, Silverman's subversive delivery could easily, and probably rightfully so, be found offensive and undermining of TED's otherwise progressive thinking. Anderson's remark should not have been retracted as it seems he was just being descriptive of Sarah's usual overkill tackiness.Tait Reimershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01050849340361525884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10472874.post-24773669355302016042010-02-15T21:37:27.896-08:002010-02-15T21:37:27.896-08:00I was at TED this year ... and I gotta say that it...I was at TED this year ... and I gotta say that it seemed like half the people didn't get Sarah Silverman at in Long Beach but pretty much everyone got it at TEDActive in Palm Springs (the young, hip TED simulcast event). One of the coolest things about TED is that there is an openness about ideas and stories - what works, what doesn't.<br /><br />That being said, I 100% agree that Chris shouldn't have sent that tweet, and furthermore I LOVE the other SS's response... brilliant, as I'd expect. <br /><br />But to backlash on all of TED and the amazing conversations, ideas, and actions that it launches every year is a bit dramatic and hasty...<br /><br />kind of like Chris' tweet.<br /><br />xxsspinkcloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00045540132735208066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10472874.post-32365650459732451232010-02-15T17:55:33.075-08:002010-02-15T17:55:33.075-08:00Sarah Silverman is notorious for not delivering.
