My Favourite "New Rule" Exchange
Bill Maher's show "Real Time with Bill Maher" on HBO has a section called New Rules, which is about How Things Should Be In A Perfect World, rather than the crappy beta version we put up with. Here his panel includes Ben Affleck (actor and celebrity), and Salman Rushdie (novelist, genius and hero).
MAHER: New Rule: Women have to meet me halfway. How do you expect me to masturbate to your fashion magazines if I never know when I might see Donatella Versace. Not very dignified at all, Mr. Rushdie, no.
RUSHDIE: No.
AFFLECK: Is this the free speech this man put his life on the line for?! Bill Maher jerking off?!
RUSHDIE: No, no, no. This is not free speech. This is cheap speech.
