Andy Dick Apologizes For Being A Dick

Comedian Andy Dick issued an apology through his publicist for using the “N” word recently at a comedy club event. He was heckling comedian Ian Bagg and then joined him on stage and tried to make a joke about Kramer’s now world-renowned racist rampage at the Laugh Factory, and used the “N” word in an attempt to be funny and instead sounded just as stupid, although not as angry, as Kramer. The crowd did not find it funny and even Bagg was stuck trying to dig for laughs from the crowd after the openly gay-loving Dick left the stage.

There is some degree of cultural ownership of the “N” word and there is no reason black comedians are gonna stop using it as demonstrated by Damon Wayans the other night. The comedian opened his act at the Laugh Factory the other night, telling the crowd, “Give yourselves a big round of applause for coming down and supporting ‘Nigger Night,’” to a throng of laughter and smiles. However, ever since Kramer’s rant, the club has instituted an all out ban on the “N” word and promised fines for any comedian using it. So Wayans was hit with $320 in penalties for using the now prohibited word over 15 times. He was also banned from performing at the club for 3 months as part of the new rules.

Let us throw it back to the readers, do you think Damon Wayans should have been fined and banned or should comedians be allowed to say what they want?
