By the way, is that the best picture of the victim that they could come up with? Wearing that stupid John Belushi rip-off shirt from Animal House? And he isn't sporting his Mohawk! I feel cheated.
I don't give 2 shits about George Allen or whether he wins or loses. But as an aficionado of racial humor, whether it's Carlos Mencia, Dave Chapelle, Howard Stern, Richard Pryor, Ali G, or a dozen others, I can say with 100% honesty that I have never heard the term "Macaca" as a "common racial slur around the world." In fact, I've never heard the word Macaca before the other day. Now, please, someone insult me as a sheltered, narrow-minded American who thinks that if he doesn't know about something it isn't important. Thank you.
