Jerry Lewis is a bigot: Media mum.

I don’t know about you, but nowadays, when someone relatively famous to the country spews hatred, bigotry, or racism, it seems to me that they’re usually always caught, picked up, and ripped a new one on national TV.

Then how come only ABC and FOX news are the only big media outlets that picked up on this? But when a certain Ann Coulter says this, there is uproar in every single corner of the globe, leading to weeks of dissecting her comment, throwing hateful bigotry back at her, and plain old “ripping her a new one” on national TV and the internet.

I mean, Coulter never called Edwards a faggot (she implied it), but Lewis flat out called this “Jesse” a faggot. Plus, they both apologized. Where’s the equality? Maybe it’s because Coulter has some New York Times Bestseller books out, and Lewis doesn’t. Maybe it’s simple media bias towards conservatives. Or maybe it’s misogyny by the liberal Americans.

But thankfully, I don’t get hyped up over these pithy little names getting thrown around; and neither should you, seeing as how anyone who plays any computer game, anytime, anywhere, online (i.e. CounterStrike) will encounter the word “faggot” numerous times, as well as many other colorful words to illustrate frustration after getting “owned in the dome” or team-killed (for the benefit of all of us, I will not list them, or else I would get fired). Or how about just watching the beginning to The Breakfast Club, where “faggot” is spray-painted on Bender’s locker. Or the lyrics to the Dire Straits song “Money for Nothing”. Call me desensitized, but I prefer the term non-pansy. You just can’t get worked up over these little things.

So the next time you hear an offensive term, shrug it off and don’t be a pansy, you pansy. Instead, just resort to physical violence. That way you get exercise, you vent your anger, and you get out of class for free.
