brutushayesosu Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Im just sitting here watching CNN headlines news and theres a press conference about Michael Richards being banned from The Laugh Factory after going on a racial spat. Jerry Seinfeld was quoted as saying he was "sick" after hearing the news. Im trying to find footage but not having any luck. Im a huge Seinfeld fan but this kinda ruins it a little for me. Not to mention the lovable image of Stanly Spakowsi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brutushayesosu Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 Just comparing it to Mel Gibson because it probably ended his career. I couldnt think of any other comparison off hand. After seeing the video its worse than I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJEagles Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Wow....I don't know what Cosmo was thinking, but that right there...that's bad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hory Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Yea, it's actually worse for his career than Mel Gibson because the video evidence is so bad. Not that his career was going anywhere after Seinfeld anyway, but it's officially dead now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brutushayesosu Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 Who's worse? Michael Richards 69% Mel Gibson 31% Total Votes: 59,606 ------------ yes its more recent but i would have to agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hory Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 And Mel Gibson can just say "Hey, I was drunk and didn't mean it" (I'm not saying I believe him or think that's a valid excuse), whereas Kramer has no defence whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brutushayesosu Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 The thing is The Laugh Factory told him to apologize the next night and he did not. Thats what spurred the banning. Say it aint so Cosmo, say it aint so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJEagles Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 He did a show the night after the incident...issuing a statement, say "he made amends for his mistakes"....dunno who he made admends too...I still love Kramer the character...don't much like Michael Richards, the comedian.

Edam Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 This was an awful mistake, but how many others think the same thing without actually saying so? Racism isn't going away any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleMo Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 You guys see him on sage trying to come up with words to say? He made no sense. I think he knew get did himself in. What if this moron thought that what he was saying was funny, actually trying to "shock you". That is still REALLY really bad. Who says stuff like that? Psycho.

brutushayesosu Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 This is way worse than Ron Burgundy telling San Diego to go F themselves. I heard on Larry King that Michael Richards will be on David Lettermen tonight. http://www.cbs.com/latenight/lateshow/ Watch that clip and watch the show tonight. There are morons in the crowd that laugh? WTH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYM Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I guess they thought he was going to go somwhere with it? Like in a joking matter? Still it can't be that funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardcoreLegend Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Who says stuff like that? Psycho. Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor. Doesn't make what Richards did was right, but to see so many comedians come out against it while so many have made millions off of racism is odd.

UncleMo Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Yeah but I couldn't tell if he was purposely trying to be shocking or purposely psychotically racist. Not just racist, as in bad racist jokes black comedians tell, but psychotically racist. Maybe he was trying to put down his hecklers, but he went really, really, REALLY far with that crap.

jogar84 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 As far as I'm concerned, the "N" word means nothing now. Black people use it all the time and so the filthy little kids here in America. So he flipped out, out of frustration and rage. Eh, never liked Seinfeld anyway.

IronicMan Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 The N word is bad enough, but what is really disgusting about it is the way he talks about lynching. No matter how he twisted it, a joke about lynching due to racism is definitely not funny at all.
