16. TO: Unique don't care:

There was no racist comment made so what are you talking about?! Just because someone makes a comment about someone who happens to be black, does not make it racist. If you said it about a white person would you accuse them of being racist? No. All your ignorant comments serve to do is in fact create the racism you seem to be so vehemently aposing! You are projecting your own misguided self-rightiousness onto others. Who is the racist, someone who makes no reference to colour, but merely makes a comment about someone general appearance, or someone who refers to 'wrinkle ass white people'. If you want to see a racist, look in the mirror. Although given your appaling writing and grammar you're probably not capable of doing something as simple as that....

20. Unique don't care- It seems like you do indeed care, since you had to write in all capital letters and you seem to be very upset by a comment that someone made about a funny looking guy.. This is TMZ. People make fun of anyone and everyone on here. Not because he is black but because he is funny looking!

22. That's funny about using their hit as a Viagra jingle
Guess it won't "jingle" anymore

23. LMAO @ the new Viagra theme song, lord I appreciate some humor and that was def funny, thank you! And I have to say, I did a triple take on the cowardly lion comment and I do see a resemblance indeed. Now I know black people age very well......I KNOW....but at 67, excuse me, he should have a wrinkle or two! He's had some kind of injection or touch up done (but yes looks good, they both do). Excuse me, Bill Cosby is a mere 4 years older and he's got wrinkles and gray in his hair so, Mr. Simpson has been altered in some form. And congratulations on their long lasting marriage, they've obviously done something right to last together this long, many more happy, blessed years together.

And Dear Unique & Jen you both had typos, but Jen you made much more sense. Unique you only made yourself sound and look foolish and stupid.

24. @Unique don't care. Sorry to have to tell you this but sadly were not going to be able to accept your rasist cupon today. It expired when Obahma became elected and O.J. went free. All remaining cupons went to the caucasian people that the cupon holders are currently stealing from. In the words of your cultural advisor Chingy "WELLFER"

26. lol@you. I beleive the correct spellings are Racist, Coupon, Obama, and Caucasian. You may want to consider using a spell check before posting ignorant comments. You truly are PATHETIC.
