Oh and also that was part of JBL's gimmick and not part of Tazz's gimmick. Suddenly claiming JBL's gimmick was always to be lame and unfunny doesn't suddenly make his lame unfunniness funny. Kinda like Paulie Shore, it just makes him suck even more.

Not lame and unfunny, JBL's gimick is he is a racist right winger, he can get away with saying anything racist because he is meant to be an jerk. Now concerning the original post I say yea. It seems to me you are being a tad sensitive. Was it racist? it is, but its not a big deal. hes not calling him Lazy, ignorant or any other thing that would make it more appalling. Hes playing on the clishe a lot of black people like boomboxes, big waxing deal, Its not funny at all but neither its something to get up in arms about.

Which would be nice if he wasn't (imo) lame and unfunny. Hence, my point about people calling Taz an assclown for making the same kind of dumb joke that, had JBL made the same one word for word, we'd have 15 "JBL =wresltingGAWFD)*&^!)*&" threads. Now concerning the original post I say yea. It seems to me you are being a tad sensitive. Was it racist? it is, but its not a big deal. hes not calling him Lazy, ignorant or any other thing that would make it more appalling. Hes playing on the clishe a lot of black people like boomboxes, big waxing deal, Its not funny at all but neither its something to get up in arms about. I can't tell if you're referring to me or to the original poster, because I mentioned race but he didn't. I didn't say racist, I said racial, as in the whole point of the joke was (as far as I can tell) revolving around ethnicity. I didn't find it offensive, just dumb.

Not for nothin', Max, but those black people like their big boomboxes. Did you see Radio Raheem in "Do The Right Thing"? His boombox was as big as a pile of bowling balls. i litterally lol'ed at that ;D

For god sakes you need tougher skin! Stop being so sensitive! Whats up with people being so sensitive these days? How ironic is it that you're accusing someone of being to sensitive yet you're overreacting to an opinion. Maybe you need thicker skin?

I was listening to ESPN radio yesterday, the Max Kellerman Show (I really hate this guy. He sucks...but there's nothing else on the radio at that time) and he had ECW's Tazz on to promote ECW. Max mentioned the upcoming Super Bowl and was making mention to there being two African American coaches playing against each other for the first time. Tazz responded by saying that the coach of the Bears, Lovey Smith "approached the podium at the press conference with a boombox." Max laughed, Tazz laughed, I didn't. Am I being a little overly sensitive here because I didn't find that funny. I really used to like Tazz and I'm not seeing him in the same light anymore. Help me out here, crappers. Am I being too over sensitive? Yes. How old are you and what race are you? No he isn't being overly sensitive.
