If there’s one thing I’m thankful for about this whole Tracy Morgan debacle, it’s that comedians are finally getting called out on something.
And that is being lazy. Seriously. A lot of comics who are male, who have no idea what kind of material to write about – just write about gay things. Because stand-up comedians, as a group, have IQ’s so collectively low that it’d shock you to learn how they spend their time – permanently regressed, playing videogames, and cracking gay jokes. It’s a sure-sign that somebody has run out of material when they start regressing to those jokes, and another one has been caught in the act. Seriously, how dumb do you have to be?
Jo Koy, prominent Filipino comedian, decided to call an audience member a f**king f***ot at the Just For Laughs Festival. In the middle of a bit. Like that’s a thing that you do with your audience in the middle of a joke about your penis. If you have jokes in your set about your penis – prepare to be heckled. It’s just going to happen. Koy later took to his Twitter to apologize for his actions, although he probably should’ve just apologized for not, you know, thinking rationally. Or reading the news.

Did a male comedian run over your dog? Not a fan of gay bashing. Very few straight comics can manage gay jokes without coming off as a jackass. No one, however, can write a blog post calling all male comedians regressed homophobes with low IQs without coming off as a jackass. Might want to try the /rantoff command and reboot these shallow diatribes another day.

Chelsea Handler gives Joe a hard time on her show by alluding, jokingly, to him being Gay. Self loathing perhaps?

You have Kobe Bryant shouting out the word Faggot...then again with the jets guy and David Tyree speaking out against Gay Marriage...and of course you have Tracey Morgan being downright hateful against gays and there are no ramifications. Even the sight of Weiner's Weiner has brought down a Congressman. Are people that afraid of Gays in this day and age? Well Marc Freden, too, has been given pause with the issue. As a gay man, even he feels the need to apologize for the blatant use of the word "Faggot" in his new book "REALLY!?!" Now Freden using the "F" word should get a tacit pass...much like black people using the "N" word to describe themselves. His harmless use of the word...(And you must read the book to understand) has lead him to a video mea culpa on YouTube "Marc Freden Must Apologize to the Gay Community". Furthermore, Freden has pledged that if Kobe Bryant can be fined $50,000 then he too should pay a price. A percentage of every book sold as a result of his apology will go to the Trevor Project - a gay hotline for distressed teens looking for a voice of calm and understanding. It is the least he can do. Who will join Freden in this cause?

The thing that has shocked me the most about this whole ordeal is that Chelsea Handler, who has a huge gay audience, didn't fire Jo Koy's ass from her show.

Oh and one more thing... It blows my mind when minorities bash other minorities. Someone should do a YouTube video of an Asian guy with huge white teeth and a bald head screaming faggot to people that he meets, and then laughing hysterically at himself. I would do it but I'm not a gifted videographer. I bet it would go viral and end that fucker's career.
