Default Kramer blows a gasket

Was this the real Cosmo Kramer or was he just having a bad day.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20061121...t_061121004152

This story should make some of the locals feel pretty good. White Jackel, White nationalist, Gadzooks, etc.

Peace.

Looks like everyone was waiting for you to post it up

Was it the real Cosmo Kramer? I doubt it. If he wasn't ashamed of what he did, he wouldn't have publicly apologized.


I know this makes a difference for some, but not for others: The two hecklers were calling him "cracker" and interrupting him before he went off and used the sacred word.

If he were so ashamed he wouldn't have said it in the first place. This was not something he said once out anger, he went on this little tirade for about 3 or 4 mins.

Now where did you get that tidbit of news, bring the rest of us up too speed on it. I have been to plenty of comedy clubs and seen comedians heckled that is nothing new most of them are sharp enough to make the hecklers sit down and shut up with comebacks. Now I have yet to hear that the hecklers called him a "cracker" where did that come from?

Peace.

It would be significant the order that the heckling and tirade went in. People can be expected to react in stupid ways due to emotional arousal...
So which came first? The heckle or the tirade?

Comedians are heckled all the time, most are funny enough to shut the hecklers down using jokes that are funny not racist tirades. Sounds more like this is something he has been wanting to say and the opportune moment came and he let it go.

Peace.

Wow...I just saw the Letterman apology vid...

He said he tried to dodge the heckling before he went off on that racial tirade...but the crowd obviously didn't stop...

He was about to break into tears.

People tend to yell out really stupid things without thinking when they get frustrated... Then sometimes they pay the price.
While I think the media might blow this up and the guy might very well feel like an idiot for yelling out that stuff (any word on that yet?), I can't say that it's undeserved. If he can't manage his emotions on stage... then it's questionable whether the stage is really the place for him anymore or not.

I actually find this whole story very amusing. I wonder what the hecklers said to pіss him off so much, heh heh

They are just words. People need to grow up. You make yourself vulnerable to words.

Its not just words to us, because some of us have family members that are still living that had family members that were lynched so I guess it just depends who it is.

Peace.

Default Amateur Night

He's a professional comedian.

Note the word in bold and then tell me if he acted like one. As others have stated in this thread, plenty of other comedians have dealt with situations like this and kept their composure, throwing a one-liner back at the crowd member(s) that put'em in their place. Instead of destroying their careers, they turn a bad situation in to part of their act.
