Bernie Mac offends - go figure
If you don’t know who Bernie Mac is check out his bio from Wikipedia. He was one of the Original Kings of Comedy (the name of the tour), a raucous tour with 4 comedians known for their crude language and sexual innuendo. He also has his own tv show aptly titled The Bernie Mac Show. He does tone down the language but not the innuendo. He’s very funny if you’re into his type of humor. If not you will definitely be offended.
I was surprised that he was a guest during a Barack Obama fundraiser. That’s not exactly his niche audience so it should have been expected that people would get offended. I mean you don’t invite Eskimos to talk about Winter Park real estate and you don’t invite Bernie Mac to tell jokes in front of a bunch of stiff shirts. It’s a given that they won’t get his humor and be offended.
He wound up getting heckled while on the stage which I’m sure is something he’s not used to. Barack did come out and offer him some advice to “clean up his act”. The joke is actually quite old. It’s something he did in his KOC days. Read the article at ABC to see what the fuss is all about.
