Situations like this annoy me. Massive uproar because a comment, missed by 99.8% of the population, gets picked up by the tabloids, searched out by people with nothing better to do with their lives than complain about things, then hyped up into a massive frenzy. And for what? I personally find both the comedians mentioned here to be very funny, and have no problem with the remarks highlighted, I see them for what they are meant to be - Jimmys especially. This *ing $hit is going on every day, and his 'joke' amplifies the absurdity of the situation. But nobody ever said the truth was sugar coated.
