I think it's great he lost his job. People like him are a cancer to journalism.

So he put a clip together and posted it on "his personal YouTube page".

Was he trying to pass it off as being real? And was he doing it while on the clock?

Either way he apparently lost his job. Huzzah for justice?

I'm a bit confused, why is calling someone a "bright blue scrotum" considered a "racist remark" :blink:

Without seeing the clip, we're only guessing I suppose, but it just sounds like a bit of a joke to me.

What happened to freedom of speech, eh? WHAT HAPPENED TO IT?

I agree.

I may be wrong, but offhand I can't think of any race that qualifies.. unless you include English Football fans as a race apart?

Not sure what you are talking about with the removal, it's all over youtube.

To be fair Mathews wasn't the only one, perhaps he was the first. The fox folks at least made it half way before they uttered the same.

On the original post it's refreshing that the man was fired, something that doesn't happen too often, I wonder if it will ever happen at Fox. I only mention them because they were the target this time, they have been the perpetrators on more than one occasion.
