Gilbert Gottfried's reputation for tasteless joking has almost become larger than the one for his voice.

He made them three weeks after 9/11, he made them right after Japan's horrible earthquake, and now he's making some about the East Coast rumble.

Once again, Adam Carolla has made homophobic comments he can't take back. Shame.

On one of his recent podcasts, Adam decided it was time for him to lash out at the gay community again, veiling his dislike of homosexuals with his supposed "humor." He started off by telling LGBT to "shut up" about equality because apparently, the mission to grant equal rights to everyone is "ruining his life." He then insensitively added that the LGBT community should consider using a different acronym - his suggestion was "YUCK" - and when referring to transgender people, he stated: “When did we start giving a sh*t about these people?”

First of all, the only thing that is yuck around here is your blatant disregard for the feelings of others. Second of all, people with good hearts and open minds have always given a sh*t about other people who are constantly torn down by the ignorance of people like you. And lastly … actually, we're going to let GLAAD speak for us at this point. They've said it better in their statement against Adam better than we can:

Adam Carolla went off during one of his recent podcasts when the topic of boxer Manny Pacquiao came up.

Carolla started commenting on Pacquiao's refusal to give blood before a fight to prove he's not juicing.

Though according to many, the comments slowly started to turn racist as he joked that Pacquiao “prays to chicken bones” and that the Philippines is “nothing but Pacquiao and sex tours.”

But now, the Filipino American community is demanding an apology from Carolla and CBS radio.

A petition has been started asking for Filipinos to demand a public apology. According to the petition:

It seems that time and time again, “celebrities” and “comedians” feel that it is acceptable to degrade Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in public forums. You would never have said such things about African Americans, as you recognize that your career would plummet, as exemplified by the falls of Michael Richards and Don Imus.

What you need to recognize is that racial hate and ignorance about any group is wrong and unjust. And what you also need to recognize is that your hate towards Asian Americans, the fastest growing racial minority group in the United States, can also lead to your career’s demise too.

Uh oh.

When ranting about professional boxer Manny Pacquiao on his podcast, former Loveline host Adam Carolla may have crossed the line with his insensitive remarks about the people of the Philippines!

Check out some of Carolla's discriminatory comments from his podcast below:

Here’s how you know when your country doesn’t have a lot going for it: When everything is about Manny Pacquiao.

Get a fuckin' life as a country.

All you fuckin' got is just an illiterate guy who happens to smash other guys in the head better than other people.

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.

Terrible!

Was Adam trying to be funny or…????

Because we don't get the joke! At all!

What do U think?
