Let me clue you in to a little bit Lenny Bruce used to do about race. I have updated the bit with new famous people,so younger people will get the point--- I'd like to ask the 30 somemthing white guy,who is a racist ,or even the white Grand Wizzard of the KKK to be truthful and make this choice. You get to spend 15 years married to a white woman or a black woman. These 2 women are close in age,so it is a fair comparison.15 years,watching them put on their makeup,change their clothes,sleeping close on chilly nights,etc. thats 15 years with a white woman or a black woman! The white woman is Rosie O'donnell,and the black woman is Halle Berry. Now we are not so concerned about white or black anymaor,are we guys???? Comes down to how cute or how pretty huh. So lets really get basic and persecute ugly people! And for you white ladies,you would pass over 10 Robin Williams to get to one Denzel. Lenny Bruce died while trying to defend his words. All the profanity cases were thorown out after his death. They are just words. Remember the sticks and stones rhyme when you were young ending with-But words will never hurt me?? Give a listen to Lenny sometime. After all he died fighting to say some words Dan Dell

it's not ok for anyone to use that word. in this case, not only is it tacky, but it's a fast way to let everyone know just how ignorant and desperate he is. not that there was ever any doubt...but this is icing on an already heavily frosted cake.

How come he is being judged by the color of his skin??? If he was black it wouldnt be a problem. Why are blacks able to control what is being said? David Chappell is/was making a huge buck becasue politcal correctness says whites cant talk about race so he has a monoply on the issue THAT IS UN AMERICAN. The word is not a nice word but censorship is worse. And for the record I'am black.

To all niggers out there: if you all stop calling each other nigger then maybe the rest of us will get the hint that it may not be a nice word to call you. Otherwise, don't be surprised if others call you what you call yourselves. As far as media opinions that "nigger" has no place in our vocabulary, grow up and realize that political correctness has had its day.

Do you really have to ask if Anthony Michael Hall is desperate for attention? Come on.

He thinks he's being "cool" - and of course he's wanting attention. Why else would he live at the tourist-central laugh factory every night? Flashback to the scene in every movie where he gets stoned and it will all make sense to you. Let it go.
