The Dalai Lama Is No Tina Fey
The Dalai Lama has now publicly apologized for asking a young boy to suck his tongue. The leader now tells us this was a joke. It might be the joke that brings down Tibetan Buddhism.
I’m hoping I’m not wrong on this, but I don’t think the Dalai Lama is a pervert. If he were a pervert, would he perv out so publicly on a stage in front of all his fans?
It’s definitely a weird error in judgment, however, because the Dalai Lama is not a stupid man. Do you have any idea how many people applied for his job?
Once he got that highly competitive job, people stopped treating him like a normal person. Everybody laughed at all of his jokes. Even the cringey ones.
That’s the problem with rich and powerful people. People laugh at their horrifying tone-deaf jokes so they keep telling them and they get less and less funny. God forbid he ever stops being the Dalai Lama. Oy. Then he’ll see what everyone thinks of his jokes.
The rest of us have to earn a laugh, but not the rich and famous. If you were sitting in front of the Dalai Lama and he said something idiotic and started laughing, don’t tell me you’d say, That’s not funny! Who’s not going to laugh at the Dalai Lama’s jokes? Who’s that secure?
