Geniuses Guy's (Louis CK) On Jackass CelebritiesALert

Jackass star Ryan Dunn died in a fiery car crash Monday. After hanging out with friends in a Philadelphia bar late into the night, Dunn drove his Porshe into woods in the city's suburbs, killing himself and an unnamed passenger, the Associated Press reports. He was 34. Dunn was famous for his masochistic stunts, as when he dove into a sewage tank. His early death makes Pitchfork's Stephen M. Deusner's interview with Louis CK the more poignant. The interview was posted Monday morning, so obviously the comedian had not heard the news. But his analysis of Jackass' brilliance is interesting as other fans are struggling to talk about Dunn's death.

The Jackass movies are honestly some of the best movies I've ever seen. I laugh so hard at them. Those guys are geniuses. If they had grown up with a different group of people, they could've been performance artists at Bard College, and people would be writing papers about them. There's a real beauty in it, and there's a release to watching those movies. But it's because they're doing things to each other as friends. If they were going around and hitting old ladies in the head, it would be horrible. What if Hitler had won the whole thing and we were living in Nazi earth There would probably be a version of Jackass where they're doing that shit to Jews. That would be funny to Hitler, but it wouldn't be funny to me-- not because it's anti-Semitic but because it's just not good comedy. But I don't think I should always humiliate myself on stage, I just find a laugh at the end of that rope a lot.

The 50-year-old will seek to cast doubt on accusations he hurled anti-Semitic abuse at three people - a museum curator and her boyfriend and another woman thought to be a Paris shop assistant - as he sat in a drink and drug stupor at a Paris café.

He will hope to persuade the court that he is not a dyed-in-the-wool anti-Semite but a fashion star unable to cope with his high-pressure job, who lost his way in drink, Valium and sleeping pills and had no idea what he was saying.

Failure to do so could see him receive a six-month prison term and 22,500 euros fine.

Timeline of the John Galliano scandal

Whatever the verdict in the historic building where Marie Antoinette was sentenced to death by guillotine, the task of saving his neck in the cut-throat world of fashion appears even taller.

Days after his arrest and in the midst of Paris fashion week, the Dior fashion house sacked him as its creative director, citing a zero-tolerance policy on racism and anti-Semitism.

That ended one of the biggest success stories in the world of high fashion in two decades.

Galliano was credited with breathing new life into the Dior brand after taking it over in 1996, revitalising it with edgy flamboyance.

In the ensuing weeks, Galliano was also dropped from his own fashion brand, "John Galliano," 92-per cent owned by Dior, and was castigate by fashion figures like Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld.
