Actor and comedian Adam Carolla had a rant against Filipinos in a recent podcast and some say he crossed the line. You can be judge of that for yourself, find out what exactly happened plus you can see some pictures and a video which includes the podcast.
Former Loveline host Adam Carolla was ranting on his podcast about boxer Manny Pacquiao, which resulted in insensitive and completely inappropriate comments about people from the Philippines. Here are a few of the remarks that Mr. Carolla made.
Get a fuckin’ life as a country.
Really, you want some guy with brain damage running your country? Why don’t you get your shit together?
All they have over there is Manny Pacquiao and sex stores.
That is just a little bit of the things that Carolla goes on about, at one point he even attacks Pacquiao’s religion. I mean if you have issues with one person that is fine to each his own but to make remarks about the entire Philippine country is disgusting in my book. I think he totally crossed the line. At first I couldn’t tell if he was just trying to be funny or what but either way so not necessary. I could give you what he said word for word but I think you should take a listen for yourself, the below video has the entire incident on it.
Adam Carolla’s Filipino rant podcast is causing quite the uproar as it should. I think Carolla is a racist jerk and should think before he speaks but given who he is I highly doubt that will ever happen.
This is one hot topic and I so want to know your thoughts. Do you think Adam crossed the line or do you think he was just trying to be funny? Let me know because I have a feeling this issue is not going away anytime soon and neither is Carolla I am afraid.
