Here comes the apology

John Mayer is a dumbass

John Mayer is doing some backpedaling today after his unbelievably retarded Playboy interview hit the media yesterday. He tweeted:

Re: using the 'N word' in an interview: I am sorry that I used the word. And it's such a shame that I did because the point I was trying to make was in the exact opposite spirit of the word itself. It was arrogant of me to think I could intellectualize using it, because I realize that there's no intellectualizing a word that is so emotionally charged.

And while I'm using today for looking at myself under harsh light, I think it's time to stop trying to be so raw in interviews... It started as an attempt to not let the waves of criticism get to me, but it's gotten out of hand and I've created somewhat of a monster. I wanted to be a blues guitar player. And a singer. And a songwriter. Not a shock jock. I don't have the stomach for it. Again, because I don't want anyone to think I'm equivocating: I should have never said the word and I will never say it again.

For someone who generally comes off as a pretty intelligent guy, what a fucking idiot. Isn't not dropping the N Bomb in casual conversation something that everyone learns in the first grade? Yes, I distinctly remember learning that midway through the year, right after I got a 99% on my "basic shapes" test. What kind of teacher puts a dodecahedron on a shapes test for 6-year-olds? What a fucking bitch.

Names get changed so often I don't know what the hell to call people anymore. Black, nigger, negroes, African American, colored…

How about we just call all these people who make such a big deal out of one little word, "Assholes" for blowing such a stupid thing way out of proportion.

Spencer Pratt! Do I get a prize? :p

This is why I miss the word "colored." Let's bring that word back, shall we?

Nameless

Since when has he come off as intelligent? He's always been a douchebag.

This interview just verified it. Now he's just doing the song and dance to keep the sh*t from hiting the fan to a minimum.

I would not be suprised if he drops whoever he is dating right now and starts dating a black chick just to improve his PR.

Spirit of the word? Guh?

Using the word nigger isn't all that bad, to remain PC nowadays you have to ask what black, people of color, Afro-Americans, Negros, niggers what they want to be called that day. I on the other hand could care less, fuck them all and that means John Mayer can kiss my ass just for being an asshole of his own volition. I'm getting sick of this PC shit if you didn't pick up on that. DUH!
