"Stand-up comedy is suddenly not so funny, thanks to Michael Richards’ racist routine."

You do realize you used ‘Michael Richards’ and ‘stand-up comedy’ in the same sentence, right?

;-p

Thankd for the NYTimes article - an interesting read.

However there was ONE angle their article didn't address: the general public's opinion that Michael Richards may be a racist and was caught on tape.

However there's an article on the electronic news network that did some research and discovered the truth about that...

Just thought you might be interested in the other side of this issue. :)
