Kramer in trouble

Seems like dear Kosmo Kramer went on a slur-filled tirade during his stand-up routine when heckled by two black men.

Yes, his words were reprehensible, but what was more reprehensible are the words of another comic, Paul Rodriguez:
"Once the word comes out of your mouth and you don't happen to be African-American, then you have a whole lot of explaining," he said. "Freedom of speech has its limitations and I think Michael Richards found those limitations."

Paul, you, sir, are an idiot.

Words like "nigger" or "chink" should either be off-limits for all as hate speech or off-limits for none. Blacks or Asians who use those words amongst themselves then get spastic when others use them are fooling themselves. Saying that you're "taking back those words so The White Man can't hurt us" and then getting angry when The White Man uses them just shows that you're weak and that you'll always be less than Whitey.

PS3 gets hammered

D'oh! A very negative review of the PS3 by the NYT.

Me, I'm an M$ fanboy, myself.
