"Jericho says Albinos are Gay"

Most comedians are less know then Chris Jericho.

That being said name me one comedian, as famous or more than Chris Jericho, in the last 10 years that called someone a fag (not that the word fag was in their act, but actually called someone a fag) and didn't get backlash from the media for it?

I know the sensetivity to words is a little silly at times but words do have power and the word fag being said by non-Gays is hateful at times.

It's been more than 10 years, but some classics never get old....

Yes but that's why I qualified 10 years, things have gotten very serious about slandering gays (not saying anyone is slandering gays) over the past 10 years. Back in the mid-80's making gay jokes was far more accepted.

True, very true. Even Clubber Lang wasn't off limits.




Funny thing is, if Jericho called Paris Hilton "a dirty camel jockey cock fucker", TMZ would still be throwing donuts at Khloe Kardashian today trying to get a headline story.

Noone would have cared.

I miss the days when Mr.T was taking it up the ass and people laughed.
