Of course he said that. So would the grand wizard of the KKK.

Ty, you kinda missed the point buddy.. He intended for it to be a joke, and what was funny about it was its offensiveness. He probably didn't want people to bug out about it, but that doesn't change the fact that its offensive. Now you can defend the guy's character all you want, but it doesn't change what he did.

But you're just stating the general fact that most things funny for shock value are indeed offensive, which I'm sure 90% of us know already.

If it's meant to be shockingly funny, it pretty much has to be offensive - or else it's not shocking.

I didn't miss your point at all. I was just saying yes, it's offensive, but it's a light-hearted offensive. Sure it's bad, but it's comedy - a fine line of comedy - but comedy nonetheless.
