If you haven't heard about this, come out from under your rock.
Apparently while doing some standup at the Laugh Factory Michael Richards made some comments of the racial kind to a heckler in the audience.
I'm not saying I agree with his comments. They were extreme. But I hate hecklers too. Its annoying as hell to have some drunk ass in the audience talking above the comedian. He should've just made fun of them minus the racial slurs.
Anyhow..... This may be deemed NWS due to the language. Be advised.
He did later apologize on Letterman.
