?cheater Kramer racist slurs

[Riesen]

I saw the video on AOL and he seemed to be trying to do a Lenny Bruce type thing because he kept saying, 'There are always those words'. You know what I'm saying? Like, social commentary only not funny and completely racist...like Carlos Mencia. Then, maybe people were heckling him (no doubt talking about Cosmo Kramer, etc.) and he just wigged out.

What really strikes me as interesting is that people seem to be shocked, but as far as I know, Richards has always had a pretty volatile temper (Friday's incident with Andy Kaufman about 20 years back). And he's never really been funny outside of Seinfeld. Oh well. Thus is the plight of an old sitcom star. But then he goes out there on stage, people expect him to come running through a door unannounced and jittery, but he starts spouting n*gger this and b*aner that. He gets heckled, loses it, someone posts a video about it and no one likes him ever again. Good thing he's loaded...

I saw him apologize on Letterman (probably forced into it by Jerry Seinfeld) and it was terribly awkward. I'm all for free speech, and yes, Richards said some fucked up shit, but he shouldn't have to apologize for or attempt to explain his actions. He said what he said. Like it or don't. In my case, I don't. But I'm not going to demand that this guy have his lips fused together via some futuristic laser operation so I don't have to hear one of his tirades again. I'll just not go see him do stand-up, but I'll continue liking Seinfeld. No big fucking deal. Paul Rodriguez can lick my sac.

Seinfeld season 7! In stores NOW!

Wow that is seriously messed up. No holds barred. Did you see all those people leaving the show? Everyone has their slip-ups.. MEL.

Yeah, after watching this, I felt like cringing in horror. Possibly, the worst video I have ever seen on the internet. Michael Richards was seriously an idol to me. Now he's just a fallen hero. -_-

He is apologizing on Letterman as I am typing. It might seem a bit weird, but it seriously left me devastated. I wanted to see him too at the Laugh Factory, but I am not over 18. Sucks so bad.

Story here.

Comedian Michael Richards, famed for playing the quirky character Kramer on the hit show Seinfeld, apologised on national television today for spewing a torrent of racial slurs at hecklers during a stand-up act in Hollywood.

Richards continues to rant as people in the audience are heard shouting back at him, "That was uncalled for," and the comic yells: "Well, you interrupted me pal, that's what happens when you interrupt the white man."

Pretty damn messed up. The video is easily found on google video to see just how fucked up some of the things he says are and how angry he is. I guess I won't post it since it's very offensive. Sucks too, he always was my favourite on Seinfeld.
