That comes across as rather harsh.
I took a quick peek and I think I'll join the fray with a quick post (I'm swamped with work at the moment and have buckle down in a few moments, so probably won't be writing more posts).
I have to agree with those that did not like the comment. FWIW, I'm a good critical thinker (trained in the sciences), and have used humor to help survive my depression. I didn't find Marc Maron's statement or his video either humorous or interesting. To me, they are disappointing and damaging.
Different strokes I guess....I just hate to see the potential for stigma to be perpetuated through comedy acts that trivialize serious conditions.
Have a nice weekend.
