Reclamation what?

Comedian Eddie Griffin got booted from the stage at a Miami show last week after repeatedly using the N word. He was performing at a show for Black Enterprise magazine, a business magazine geared toward the black community.

“We believe that ending the performance was the appropriate action,” said a spokesman for the magazine.

I feel like there has to be more to this story. I mean, did they hire him without ever having heard his act? My guess is that they emphasized to him beforehand that he was not to use that word, and he either agreed and then used it anyway, or told them to fuck off.

The crowd apparently gave a standing ovation to the magazine’s publisher when he appeared on stage after Eddie got pulled.

No one knows who Eddie Griffin is, but it’s not really germane (fancy word for “German”) to the punchline here. All you need to know are these fun facts:

1) Eddie Griffin is an actor (Deuce Bigalow bitches!)
2) He’s in a movie called Redline about racing around in fancy cars.
3) He crashed a fancy $1.5m Ferrari Enzo while doing PR for the movie.

He looked to be driving around 35 when he destroyed one of the 400 of these cars ever made. That’s impressive stuff. Guess no one will be asking “Did you do your own stunts in the movie?”

For this I say we make “Eddie the unknown” our idiot of the day! Here’s the video of a beautiful car being brutalized.
