Fair use rationale for Image:Comedy's dirtiest dozen.jpg
Image:Comedy's dirtiest dozen.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

'' a definite cult movie from stuart s. shapiro who also produced 'the killing of america'(?) (if wrong please edit this out)


 * in this writer's opinion one of the funniest movies about standup you will see. set in a comedy club in 1988 the film is just an observational piece of up and coming comedians performing before a live audience, notably featuring howard stern amongst others. the premise of the film is that it wished to document the performances of comedians deemed 'too hot for television' in that they questioned the mores and standards of the powers that be due to politics, content or language. bill hicks went on to appear on the david letterman show 11 times. in his 12th appearance, hicks' material went too far and excecutives from the show deleted the segment from the final transmission. hicks died soon afterward and letterman himself expressed great personal regret that mr.hicks wasn't dealt with better. some may say this film is a blasphemous, foul mouthed exploration of vulgarity. others will see it as a look into the raw world of comedic honesty with the role of fool shown up in its ancient context..one of challenging the safe and sanctified societal idiom and the validity of certain sacred cows by shining a light on the overlooked and holding a blowtorch to such paradigms. its merit therefore is in the eye of the beholder but for purely historical value the film rates highly.''

The reason for it moving here is that it may provide a basis for a plot/film premise, but as it stands it's nowhere near good enough for the encyclopaedia. Booglamay ( talk ) - 16:07, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
