The old, shameful dog has not learned anything.
On Friday, Jerry Lewis made an anti-gay slur on Australian television similar to one he apologized for using on his annual telethon a year ago.
When asked by an Oz TV reporter on live television, how he felt about cricket, the Aussie national sport, Lewis answered:
“Oh, cricket? It’s a fag game. What are you, nuts?”
Oh, Jerry. Jerry, Jerry, Jerry.
GLAAD issued the following statement about the latest Jerry incident:
“Last year, Mr. Lewis apologized for using an anti-gay slur on live television, and expressed his desire to raise public awareness about the impact of this kind of defamation. Clearly he did not take the lessons of that unfortunate episode to heart because, in an effort to be humorous, he has once again managed to offend and defame the gay community… For someone so well known for helping others, Mr. Lewis shows an incredible lack of dignity and respect when he makes comments that contribute to a climate of intolerance.”
We’re waiting for Jerry’s new empty apology.
What a douche!
