Good luck to Jerry Lewis trying to get out of this one. Listen to the gasp from the audience and Lewis looking like he knows he just made a major mistake.

There are two words that I completely take out of my vocabulary so there will never be a chance of using it.....that is one of them....
I respect what he's done for the MDA, but I've never been a fan otherwise....

Re: Jerry Lewis said what?
I met him years ago and he was very nasty to kids waiting for his autograph. I heard that he had issues and had conquered his demons. That being said, I think his lack of sleep increased his lack of judgement.Zuke wrote:http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/showbi ... d.joke.cnn

Just lovely. Tired or not, that's like having an excuse for using the "N" word.MalibuRumGirl wrote:He used a derogatory and demeaning word for a gay person.buffettbride wrote:"This video has expired" is what I get when I try to view it. Can someone give me the BN Cliff's notes **** version? I did see "Jerry Lewis drops the 'F' bomb."
Was that it?
However, in the spirit of Will and Grace, that derogatory and demeaning word for a gay person was used quite a bit on that show if I recall.

Saw him out and about in Vegas and he is NOT a nice person to his fans ... rather nasty, as I remember ...
I thought he called somene fat instead of a fag ...... must have not been listening to the YouTube replay very well ....
Upon second hearing ... he does say "the illiterate fag" ... what a creepy thing to say.

He has always been a ba$tard. Have heard a few stories of how miserable he could be dealing with people he saw as peons.
As an aside, the character he played on a segment of "Wiseguy" back in the late 80s/early 90s always seemed like he wasn't really acting, just letting his real persona out to play.

I don't necessarily consider the term fag as negative - it kinda depends on when and how it's used.
Some of my oldest and dearest friends are gay and I've had them say "you're just a fag hag from way back" and it's not offensive. I'll be the first to admit I was a "fag hag" - in the sense I loved to go to the gay bars and dance and had tons of gay friends back in the days.
It's kinda like the N word - Richard Pryor could use it and I'd pee my pants laughing. But had George Carlin used it I would have been offended.
That being said I think Jerry is now just a grumpy old bitter man trying to still be funny and not quite grasping the fact he's not. He probably told that joke amongst a bunch of old drunk cronies and they laughed their butts off

Despite what he's done for MDA, I have no respect for him. He's a mean, nasty person.
Thirty years ago he played golf at a country club where I used to work. He was downright *nasty* to the staff.... They say if you want to the know the true character of a person, pay attention to how they treat their waiter (and by extension, any other service personnel)....
Don't forget, Jerry, "What goes around, comes around."
