I should have been clearer. He's not apologising, rather acting as an apologist. Sorry.

Weird to see Louis apologising for this sort of thing. I see no positive angle on Morgan's words, unfortunately.

He's not apologising for it. How did he apologise? He tried to explain it. He is trying to think where Tracy was coming from in saying that. He also said that it should have been a starting point for discussion, which is SO SHOULD have been (I missed this whole thing, but it certainly sounds like it should have)... having a non-accusatory, non-combative discussion about what led to him to make that joke, why he would have a problem with his son talking like that/ being that sort of gay person would have been great.
He never apologised, he just said it could have been handled better.

"He's a man-child"
I heard an interview with Tracy Morgan on NPR where he described the time he came home and found his bed-ridden father on the ground floor of their apartment building, in winter, with bare feet, and Tracy Morgan had to carry him like a child up 6 flights of stairs to their apartment, because his father was senile and too confused to know what was going on.
After telling that story on air, he broke down in tears because it was too much for him to talk about.

Quite true of all comedians in general. They tend to have a great insight into humanity, politicians, social issues, and even the biggest of questions such as religion, love, and almost all philosophical domains.

It stems in almost every case from the hardships they have had pressed upon them and their underlying conditions that allow an understanding that binds the perceptions of reality upon their mind an already learned, or easily empathized, lesson that can easily be learned and overcome. As to why they become masters of laughter due to their doomed pasts, I'm not entirely sure. (I know they would be able to empathize a great deal better than others; perhaps due to their depressive states their minds have given them easily attained "happy comebacks" to depressive thoughts in their own minds--partial guess only though...)

Comedians tend to offer a quick way to look at an issue with contrast, so much so that it may make you uncomfortable. But, the key thing a comedian does is that they give you a phrase (the punchline) that allows your mind to mentally take control of the topic of discussion allowing you to beat it, easily.

From there, psychologically it's still a little shady, but it seems to stay in line with what I said. Of course there are other ways to make us laugh, but it typically tends to lend credence to the fact that you have mastered or conquered something, mentally, which has a profound affect over us. Fear is also another area where this crops up and maybe for the same reason.

Great comedians one and all seem to all have a dark past or hardships; but their ability to empathize seems to be a strong core attribute. If anyone knows of a good book on the topic: comedians and their past versus the psychological reasoning as to why they are so good at what they do; please, leave a comment with a link to the book or the name of it.

I would guess that Kim Jong-il does not like Team America.

And possibly Matt Damon.

Who doesn't like team america? That was a great film.
