Ant to Joe Rogan: You're a "Homophobe!"

46. Since when does saying that a comic is stealing jokes mean that you are homophobic? Also, when is a phobia considered to be anything other than a phobia? I am afraid to fly, does that mean that I am a worthless and insensitive person? If being around a gay person causes someone discomfort why is that wrong? Please stop trying to force people to embrace your sexuality. Love who you are and try not to care what others may think. As I remember, we have the freedom to think, say and be around people that we choose. Enough is enough.

47. Joe Rogan constantly "calls people out" for stealing jokes because he does the same thing himself. I don't approve of it, but it's pretty common for comedian's to use other comedian's material during their act. Some are ok with it as long as they give credit later, some don't accept it all. The problem with Joe Rogan is that he's been trying to make it in the comedy business for YEARS and hasn't gotten anywhere, he then sees younger, more marketable comedians come in and accomplish something he hasn't. He gets pissed off and that's when the accusations start flying. Everybody in the business knows this about him and finds it hilarious because Joe seems to think if he can take these guys down he can claim his "rightful" place in the comedy world, but it's never dawned on him that he's just not that funny.

48. WooHa23, TMZ is just reporting the story. Nowhere in the article is any opinion stated besides Ant's.

49. Joe proved Carlos Mencia steals jokes, too. So, according to Ant's theory, Carlos is gay, too? Joe is hilarious and has always been nice and fun to me and he knows I'm a big homo fan of his.

50. I think Ant should try actually getting funny before starting a pseudowar with another pseudocelebrity. I've never heard anything original come out of Ant's mouth, just alot of stereotypical "drama" humor, so it's not hard to believe that he'd steal other comedian's work. I'm no huge fan of Joe Rogan, and I'm also gay, but can't for the life of me find the homophobic connection. Perhaps someone should read Ant the story "The Boy Who Cried Wolf".

51. Both are pathetic, Ant will whore himself anyway possible to get his name mentioned in the press.... maybe he should pay more attention to that horrible toupee of his, and Joe is trying to kick start his career again....

53. Ok yeah, some of you people are just idiots. Comment on the ******* story instead of insulting each other, god. I like gay people and I'm not a big fan of either of them...so whatever.

54. I don't know about what Joe Rogan said about other comics stealing jokes. However, I have seen him perform, he can be a little crude but still funny. In terms of being homophobic, I really don't think he is, period. No offense Joe, if you are reading this, but I always kind of thought he might actually be gay. In regards to Ant, I am a guy that likes guys (I hate being called gay, it makes me feel like I am perpetually happy!). I have seen Ant perform on various shows, I find him so annoying and irritating and hate to say it, stereotypical of what "straight" people perceive all gay men to be like. That bugs me more than Joe Rogan making comments about comics stealing jokes. Grow up Ant (and get a real name!)
