Done with Adam Carolla

So now that I've got an ipod again i've been delving into the world of podcasts. For the longest time the only one I listened to was the one by Bill Simmons. I worship at the alter of Bill Simmons and always will.
Anyways, I began trying out new ones, which I won't mention now because i want to focus on hate. Hate that is aimed at Adam Carolla. Hate is actually the wrong word, probably disdain or pity.
Carolla, a co-creator the Man Show, is for the most part pretty funny. He is funnier with Jimmy Kimmel, but does ok on his own. His observations are interesting enough and his little bits are funny enough.
Unfortunately they're not funny enough to overcome the hate and ignorance he constantly spits out. He shows a level of stupidity that doesn't just border on the cruel and insensitive, but rather seems to revel in not caring.
For starters he is just plain wrong about a lot of the things he says. I can't even begin to touch upon the fallacies he embraces both abroad and at home. It's appalling how wrong he is, and what's worse is when some of his guests get caught up in it.
Recently, Kaitlin Olson from "Always Sunny in Philadelphia" was on and refused to play his games. I applauded most of her appearance, during which she resisted the temptation to get caught up in his idiocy and mob like mentality. She definitely made the best of a bad situation as she verbally washed her hands of the situation after trying to steer Adam in a better direction. She failed, as he wouldn't really listen to her, but good for her.
For the small percentage of funny this podcast is not worth it. I couldn't stomach all the hate and ignorance for the few laughs i got. Just bad.
