Michael Richards' career is finished. Or I would hope it's finished. Kramer, the one-trick pony, completely snapped... http://www.tmz.com/2006/11/20/kramers-racist-tirade-caught-on-tape/
I saw that right before lunch. Done, done, done. I want to know how much he had to drink? Because it didn't sound like anything. People started bailing like it was a Great White concert. He was actually really funny in UHF, the weird Al movie.
holy shit !!! Yeah is carear is over no doubt. I know I will never look at him the same again... That was real fucked up !
the only thing worse will be if he tries to issue some sort of mitigating statement. throw the richards down the well i says.
That was pretty crappy of him. I question whether this is even newsworthy though. Famous people say disgusting shit every day. Look at rappers, for example. Many of them make a living saying disgusting shit.
Come on now, that was a fucked up confrontational situation involving a celebrity caught on video, I wouldn't exactly equate it to offensive rap lyrics, if a rapper did something comparable in a public setting and was caught on video it would most likely show up in some type of media. And besides that seems like a celebrity news based website, in which case that's exactly the kind of thing that would be newsworthy.
the dude was obviously on something. I mean, I really don't think, even if you were a mega-racist, that you would just fly off the handle and start with all that for no reason. you can tell that something is making him off his rocker in that video.
Reminds me of Crispin Glover freaking out on Letterman years ago-He looked like he was coked out of his gourd..
I don't think hardly any of the "news" about stars is newsworthy, and I don't see why supposedly reputable news stations/websites bother with this kind of garbage. If I wanted to read about stars, I'd buy People magazine. I'm sick of hearing about Britney, K-Fed, Lindsey Lohan, Paris Hilton, Tom Cruise, etc.
Ha ha - I interviewed him fot the Onion earlier this year, and I think he's that intense pretty much all the time; no drugs needed. Intelligent guy, though - definitely not just a nutcase.
he couldn't even be a funny racist bigot... at least say something over the top to get a cheap laugh so you can try to say you're doing it "for the sake of comedy". terrible transition to standup
'Kramer' apologizes for racist tirade P.S. In case I haven't made it clear, I'm criticizing national news stations/websites, NOT the person who started this thread. I'm just constantly shocked at what the media deems fit for national news. It's pretty pathetic.
Glad I'm not be criticized for starting a thread in whatever land. I just thought it was interesting to see a cultural icon (not mine but for many people he is) completely lose it. BTW, I follow national, political and world news.
