I've got a set of four, and have recently been contemplating getting rid 
of them because he's so offensive (made the mistake of listening to them 
once). He strikes me as an anomaly - though other early comic performers 
on record regularly evoked racial stereotypes, they weren't really mean 
about it, whereas Kelly is just nasty.
