Jay Leno: I'm Sorry Gays

16. Three gay men died, and were going to be cremated. Their lovers happened to be at the funeral home at the same time, and were discussing what they planned to do with the ashes.

The first man said, "My Ryan loved to fly, so I'm going up in a plane and scatter his ashes in the sky."

The second man said, "My Ross was a good fisherman, so I'm going to scatter his ashes in our favorite lake."

The third man said, "My Jack was such a good lover, I think I'm going to dump his ashes in a pot of chili, so he can tear my ass up just one more time."

17. So..TMZ can make fun of people's looks, their weight, THEIR CHILDREN, THEIR GRANDPARENTS, their religion and politics, girlfriends, boyfriends, clothes and hairdoes, just to name a few...Hey, you can even call innocent women SKANKS ... (see story above)...but don't DARE tell a joke about gays, right? I just want to undertand the rules for your sick site.

18. yeah get over yourselves. The only one who should be apologizing is TMZ for their incredibly cruel comments about people who do nothing more than walk down the street. If you are a celebrity and have a hint of a gut, trust TMZ to find it, take a picture, post it on here with the most insulting comment their greasy writers can come up with. One of Jay's favorite people is Ross the Intern and he's not making fun of him when he's on. I think he was just trying to get a laugh as that is a comic's first priority.

19. Hey tmz staff, you have to admit that LINN has got a point. Seems like you can dish it out but cannot take it very well. Finally seeing you on tv makes me believe that more than a few of you are gay.

20. As Jay would say (and he does, every monologue, zzzzzz), "ExACTly, exACTly." Can't stand him. Never made me laugh. And that idiot band leader, Kevin: a waste of air.

21. I am certain that many people have made totally inappropriate and bigoted comments in private trying to be comedic, unfortunately for Jay Leno, he just happened to do it infront of 30 million people on live television. And, I am also certain tha he immediately saw the discomfort on Ryan's face, and apologized to him directly during the break.

Now as for Jay Leno not being funny, come on guys, he is definitely NOT the funniest guy on late night television but he is funny, what about this one from last week:

(Jay Leno shrug) "Yeah...the presidential primaries are definitely getting a lot of Biblical references....infact Bill Clinton is being compared to Jonah because he got swallowed by a whale!" (Jay Leno smirk)

Now if you do not think that is funny you have to either be Bill or Hillary Clinton.

Posted at 8:16PM on Apr 1st 2008 by Obviously Jay was wrong but he is generally funny - come on guys!

22. Excuse me Mr. TMZ, you're the one who has to apologize to your readers for not being funny. Jay Leno has been making viewers laugh for years. He's been able to sustain his comedic talent for years, can you? You owe him that respect.

23. Some people, they open their mouths, put both their feet in so far in, they almost literally have no legs to stand on! Shame on you Jay Leno. I thought you were beyond that kind of behaviour. You apologized yes.....however, It's what you were thinking and that's what came out of your mouth, unless of course, Ryan Phillipe was/is embarrassed to be playing a gay character. Jay should know better and I don't understand, despite Leno's verbal faux pas, why Ryan would be so uncomfortable. Does Ryan have a major problem being associated with the gay world?

24. Within the next 4 years homosexuality will be illegal and we won't have to worry about all this politically correct idiocy

25. Leno makes the stupidest, outdated sexist "jokes" all the time [written by a bunch of ugly old guys who could never get a date, written for the uneducated Carl's Jr demographic], yet this one harmless remark is what he apologizes for?

Leno owes big apologies to women.

Posted at 8:25PM on Apr 1st 2008 by stupid sexist Leno owes women an apology

26. Jay Leno is an Opportunist not a Comedian and his writers are no better.

27. As a gay man.. I think Leno's comment is insulting .. imagine substituting the word "black" or "asian" in that same joke.. people would be up in arms. also as someone who loves to laugh, the joke simply is not funny. its like comedians who swear, its a cheap way to get a laugh,

28. JAY LENO SHOULD APOLOGIZE TO HOWARD STERN FOR STEALING MATERIAL.

NO ONE IN SHOWBIZ CAN ENTERTAIN, OR PROVIDE THE QUALITY, QUANTITY OF CONTENT LIKE HOWARD.

NO ONE CAN "BROADCAST" LIKE HOWARD.


I LOVE YOU ARTIE. -------
