Michael Richards, best known as Cosmo Kramer”, on Seinfeld had a little meltdown over the weekend after hecklers interrupted his standup comedy show. Clearly annoyed, Richards launched into a profane racist tirade that was caught on video.
Of course everyone is apologizing for the spectacle and Jerry Seinfeld has rushed to his friend’s aid. I guess the “Seinfeld Curse” continues to take its toll.
I’m not a God-fearing man. Actually, I’m more worried about cheesing off the FSM and landing in a lake of molten Marinara sauce then I am about the possibility of going to Hell.
That being said, I think we should all say a prayer, or a recipe, to our favorite deity for being spared the retribution that surely would have followed if Fox News went forward with its plan to air the interview with OJ Simpson.
Luckily, Rupert Murdoch announced today that the interview, and the related book, have been canceled.
Now OJ is 1 for 2 in the courts. Not guilty of murder but “responsible” for the deaths of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. For years the Juice has searched for the real killers on golf courses all around the world. Fine – he faded into the background reserved for those characters who are covered with the stink of public condemnation and justice denied. We all would have been happy if he just went away. But for him to agree to take part in the TV and book project where he would document how “he would have done it” crossed every line of decency.
Murdoch and his sleazy empire saw visions of $$ and couldn’t care less how repugnant the idea was. That is until the advertisers and affiliates finally figured out that they were sinking in shit and decided they didn’t like the taste all that much. Anyone that thinks that Rupert saw the error of his ways must be smoking something really bitchin’; he saw the bottom line and it wasn’t pretty. Don’t congratulate him or admire him for making a “courageous” decision.
And Mr. Simpson, please do us all a favor and take your pathetic act far, far away. The best thing you could do for everyone is slink back under your rock and keep very quiet. Or take that bullet and let us all forget about you.

An appeals court in Dusseldorf Germany has upheld an earlier ruling that stated that British Airways was within its rights when it removed a man from an aircraft because of his smell.
The man, a corporate lawyer, complained that his body odor was caused by lugging 3 bags through 29 degree Celsius heat followed by sitting in an non air conditioned airport.
American Airlines, who had sub-contracted the flight from BA, countered that their conditions of carriage state that transport may be refused if a passenger “have an offensive odor not caused by disability or illness.”
I, for one, applaud this decision. The only thing worse than BO when confined on an aircraft is the smell of dirty diapers that some passengers think should be handed to the flight attendant for disposal instead of getting rid of them in the lavatory themselves. The air is bad enough on modern airplanes as it is.
