Today, Artie Lange said this.
Here’s the scenario I’m using to jerkoff to chick on First Take I’m T. Jefferson & she’s my slave. She beats the shit out of me & runs free
Course, people were kinda upset.
To which, Artie said, “Fuck ’em.”
And, I guess I kinda agree with his logic. A little. I’m not an Artie Lange fan, but it’s well within his right not to apologize.
Here’s his whole rant.
I'm about to tweet a few things I can't believe have to be explained in a rational world. I observed that @CariChampion was a gorgeous lady
— Artie Lange (@artiequitter) November 5, 2014
This observation came while I was watching one of my favorite tv shows ESPNs First Take. I also noticed she was black.
— Artie Lange (@artiequitter) November 5, 2014
I then thought it would be funny to tweet JOKES about that observation. A decision which might be the end of modern comedy
— Artie Lange (@artiequitter) November 5, 2014
I tweeted jokes that in the past I would've said in privately in my home among friends. I know black women who could join me and handle it
— Artie Lange (@artiequitter) November 5, 2014
I won't debate if the tweets were funny. That could take minutes of precious time left in my career. The issue is do they warrant an apology
— Artie Lange (@artiequitter) November 5, 2014
Tricky question. I would rather load trucks for a living then ever apologize to one of these awful PC groups ruining the country
— Artie Lange (@artiequitter) November 5, 2014
So that's a NO. But if it upset the lady in question that's another story. Let me say to @CariChampion if this hurt u in any way I'm sorry
— Artie Lange (@artiequitter) November 5, 2014
I'm a comedian. Sometimes I'm funny! For the record my moms disgusted w the tweets. But if I based my humor on my mom I'd be broke

They're now telling me I can't appear on @Midnight tonight cause of the pressure they're getting from these groups.
— Artie Lange (@artiequitter) November 5, 2014
But who cares. I love the show & it's my living but who cares. These groups have won again. All I care about is @CariChampion Truly
— Artie Lange (@artiequitter) November 5, 2014
But I'm sure you'll be ok. You're gorgeous & talented. I hope that didn't offend u. To the PC army. Congrats! U won again! Gluten free cake!
— Artie Lange (@artiequitter) November 5, 2014
Gluten free cake, indeed.
He goes on.
I've been asked not to appear on @midnight & uve ruined any chance I had at dating @CariChampion (That was a joke). I'm not racist.
— Artie Lange (@artiequitter) November 5, 2014
I don't hate women. And to u PC groups that did this I wanna be clear. Go FUCK yourselves! Now get back to saving the world. Done. Peace
— Artie Lange (@artiequitter) November 5, 2014
Then, back at it. Gotta respect the hustle.
Now that we're all cool again. Zoe Saldana is fuckin hot!
— Artie Lange (@artiequitter) November 5, 2014
For the record I'm a fan of @midnight & @nerdist I respect whatever decision they make. I know they're under pressure
— Artie Lange (@artiequitter) November 5, 2014
That’s nice.
BUT, A silver lining in all this.
But how funny is this? For the last week I've been booked on The Podcast Racewars w my buds Sherrod Small & Kurt Metzger. I'm still on
— Artie Lange (@artiequitter) November 5, 2014
It's official. I will be at The Village Underground on W3rd street tonight at 10pm to tape Racewars podcast w Sherrod Small & Kurt Metzger
— Artie Lange (@artiequitter) November 5, 2014
