came across this today via myspace bulletin:
Why is it ok to make fun of fat people if you are fat, but not ok if you aren't? What sense does that make? If the idea of being called "fat" is hurtful to you then it should be hurtful no matter who it comes from. If it only hurts your feelings when a skinny person does it then it's just an artificial "hurt". You're just looking for a reason to be mad. A lot of times doing comedy I find that people are just getting mad because they feel something SHOULD make them mad and not because it actually does. **** artificial feelings! When something is rude it's rude, but if it doesn't bother you then don't pretend it does! If I make fun of a tollbooth worker that is fat it's because I don't like the tollbooth worker and being fat is one of their flaws. It doesn't mean I'm making fun of ALL fat people. Making fun of one person doesn't make me apathetic towards everybody.

i can't disagree with that.

Brad Garrett's 'Racist' Taunts: 'Wear the Turban!'
Brad Garrett ignited a new racial firestorm yesterday when the giant actor dropped some serious slurs at a paparazzo during a heated argument in the middle of the street. We don't know what set off the scuffle, but Garrett can be clearly heard saying, "Wear the turban! Wear the turban!" People had to restrain both Garrett and the photog from attacking each other, but eventually Brad got into his car and drove off. A rep for Garrett was not immediately available for comment. Him and the pap are yelling at each other and being held back BG says "IN ENGLISH" then repeats "WEAR THE TURBAN WEAR THE TURBAN" a couple of times.

how long until BG announces he's going to meet with muslim leaders so he can get to the bottom of his race issues?
