: Rick: Of course, The Rubber Room came to a crashing halt one day in 2005 over a remark you made that was considered "racial." Now that you've had some time to reflect on that incident, what are your thoughts?
: Joel: I think what was most criminal about that remark was that is just wasn't funny. This isn't a popular opinion, but I do think there is a place for racial humor...provided it's FUNNY. My comment wasn't funny, but it also wasn't hateful.
What a racist idiot. How was what he said not hateful? If you recall, he (AND SILLY JILLY, CURRENTLY HIS REPLACEMENT ON KISS FM CHICAGO AT NIGHT) made a joke about adopting three black kids and "taking them to the zoo to see where they came from".
