Lewis Black is an American stand-up comedian, author, playwright and occasional actor. He is best known for his regular appearances on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show delivering his “Back in Black” commentary segment, in which he ridicules (often simulating a nervous breakdown or rant) recent trends and cultural phenomena. His style of comedy is that of a man who, dealing with the absurdities of life and politics, is approaching his personal limits of sanity. Sarcasm, strong language, shouting, and trademark angry finger-shaking bring emphasis to his topics of discussion.
In this quote, Lewis Black discusses the blackout that occured in 2003 that left most of the North-Eastern United States and Canada without power. He helps to explain how a baby boom doesn’t occur when the power turns off.
| -“Contrary to myth, there won’t be a baby boom nine months from now. Population researchers say there’s no proof that people have more sex when the power goes out. I know I didn’t have any sex during the blackout. How could I? MY COMPUTER WASN’T WORKING!” |
