He is a funny motherf*cker.

Never change BJ, never change.
As soon as the Insider called me out for the "dyke bitch" comment, I thought it would be funny if I simply called him a "fag." I thought it would be hilarious to respond to accusations of insensitivity by doing *exactly* what he was accusing me of doing, and acting like I was the kind of person who actually thought that way. I found it funny, but I was really, really worried about how it would come across on the show. People who don't know me might get the impression that I'm really homophobic or anti-gay, making two insensitive comments in two weeks.

But in the end, the joke made me laugh, and I couldn't resist saying it on the air. I sincerely hope nobody was offended, though it sounds like y'all (at least the loyal forum-posting fans) took it in the context in which I meant it.

Yeah it was funny based in the context, I was just hoping nobody took it wrong which didn't seem to happen. BJ needs a TJITH guest spot after this comedic genius.
