I *loathe* "apologies" like that that basically say, "I'm sorry YOU were offended," i.e., I'm sorry some people have some sort of character flaw as to find my obviously brilliant and hilarious comments offensive.
Pure, unadulterated bullshit.
That whole apology has the tone of saying "I realize I was wrong to make fun of a dead person in general, but I don't feel bad about offending gays."
Monster. No - that would give monsters a bad name.
Oh, and I always liked Dan Abrams, but he is now my new hero. Man, that made me feel good to hear him say "We WILL call you out on it." And with such passion. Love it. And him.
