Krazy Kramer

Michael Richards rant at the comedy club is like every other event:x being blown out of proportion by the media vultures who must invent stories to survive.

The fact is that Richards has long been known for a controversial comedic style dating back to the days of Andy Kaufman where he plays upon the the uncomfortable and awkward. Watch the video of the fake fight where Kaufman starts not being his character in the middle of a sketch.

Richards is not a stand-up comic and when he was heckled he tried to be outrageous and insulting with the intent of shutting the guy up. It didn't work and he lost the audience. If it hadn't been on video it would be a non-issue.

Now instead idiots like Al Sharpton are chiming in on the issue and acting as if they are marching for civil rights in the 1960's.

Individuals do stupid things. Some of them are racist. A vast majority of Americans do not tolerate racism.
