That is talent I do not have.
None of that takes away that he is a monster, though, and I just never realized it when watching Picture Pages or The Cosby Show or whatever else.
They are both part of him.
Should I feel guilty about watching Cosby Show reruns? Should I avoid doing so? Should stations pull all his work from syndication? Should there be a grace period during which he is kept in anonymity?
If I found out that Nietzsche was a rapist, should I refuse to read his works?
