He issued another apology:

Today Carson Daly "and his team" issued this expanded and notably more remorseful statement:

We live in a time where gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals find courage every day to overcome adversity, stand up to bullying and find equality. I'm truly saddened that my words today suggested otherwise. I've long been a supporter of Gay and Lesbian rights, and I'm saddened that my comments, however unintentional, offended anyone, specifically members of the LGBT community. The fact that I have hurt anyone is devastating. I'm not that guy. I'm proud to be an ally of the LGBT community and will continue to fight with them.

...prompting this response from GLAAD: "While it's up to the public to judge the sincerity of Daly's sentiments here, GLAAD looks forward to taking him up on his offer to fight with us for the full equality of LGBT Americans." Yokey dokey. Glad we had this talk, everyone.

What Is the Point of Carson Daly?

If he has gay friends or acquaintances ya would think someone else would be sayin he's not that guy. Sounds like he supports the gay community the way Chloe K supports PETA.

Is it really bad enough that he should be fired? I don't think so.

Nah, just the uptight PC lynch mob who have nothing better to do with their time. These are the same people who will laugh at say, a fat joke, at the expense of an overweight person but god forbid you make fun of a particular type of gay man, one we've all come across at one time or another or seen depicted in movies/TV. As you can see this story just exploded all over the media (not). It would seem people have more important issues to worry about (The Kardashians!) rather than throwing a fit over a lame joke that was far from hate speech. If that was hate speech you've got one warped definition of what constitutes such a ridiculous claim. No, nobody was calling for attacks on gays, nobody was saying they need to be removed from society. No gays were actually hurt just the ones without a funny bone, who can't laugh at themselves, and do more hating than any terribly lucky talk show host ever could.

Next up for the lynch mob? ... they're going to hunt down Nathan Lane for his insensitive portrayals of effeminate gay men.

:rolleyes:

I would try and educate you, on the complete bs parallels you are trying to build, but, as we have seen, you are beyond hope in this regard. I am not a huge fan of fat jokes (no pun intended) unless they are delivered by a heavier person. A thinner person can get away with it to a degree, but if it seems lie the cheap laugh, a lazy laugh, or if i can detect that slightly hateful tone, then the funny aspect has left. Nathan Lane, BEING an effeminate gay man can portray them as he wishes. Comedians who lampoon EVERYONE and are KNOWN for that (Chris Rock, Carlos Mencia, Daniel Tosh, Katt Williams) can get away with it because NO ONE is spared, and EVERYONE is a target.

Other people have already tried to explain this to you. You continue not to listen. that's YOUR prerogative. Just as it is OURS to combat your ignorant and sometimes hateful attitudes and opinions.

There is nothing ignorant nor hateful about my attitude, it's just that you're too narrow minded. If the Daly's comment was full of venom and hate I wouldn't be defending it. Fact is it wasn't. What Daly said has been done countless times in the media mostly for it's entertainment value. You're the one who thinks he/she have the right to pick and choose who gets to do it and who doesn't. What I'm saying is it doesn't matter who they are. If you want to spend two hour laughing at Nathan Lane and then cry about Carson Daly doing the same (although badly) then you're just a massive hypocrite of the highest order.

WhatEver.:rolleyes:

Again you fail to see the difference. Self depreciation or celebration by gay man about gay men or by people who lampoon EVERYBODY is fine. I do not find the type of LAZY humor that Carson Daly used (and I didn't say it was hate speech just insensitive, inflammatory and lame) is NOT my cup o tea. What he said was rude, and just showed what an insensitive jackass he is. His Mia Cupla was so insincere that we all know it was his handlers who wrote it.

I will deal with your nonsense no further, today. Feel free to post whatever slnted agenda you wish to, I will put you on mental ignore.

:rolleyes::cool:
