I am a 19 year old stand up comedian in college right now. Louis CK was the first comedian I ever really watched, and he was what made me want to do stand up when I started in high school. I had heard about rumors before, but I always pushed them to the back of my mind because Louis CK was my favorite, my idol and everything I wanted to be and the thought of him doing anything unsavory or abusive seemed weird and surreal and just awful. I don't know what to do. Never watch him again? Stop laughing at his jokes? Should I be angry, sad, what? I feel sick, both because of what he did and the mebtal gymnastics I did to make me think he wasn't capable of something like that. This is like finding out that Santa Claus is a serial killer, or that Head and Shoulders shampoo is made from kitten bones or something. Now I know how the 1919 White Sox fans felt..."Say it ain't so, Louie."
