"California is homo town"

[ConfuZed]

...this is what Conan said on his show tonight I don't know the context because I just heard the sound but can someone post the contact info for NBC I don't think comments like this should be tolerated or allowed to slide.

1. Maybe he was imitating what Schwarzenegger would say...

You probably need to know the context before complaining, no?

3. Go here...

Go down the page to the drop down box, and pick "Late Night with Conan..."

4. I don't regularly watch Conan

but I don't think comedians should be censored, you can show your displeasure by not watching him.

It reminds of 30 years ago when Archie Bunker called California "the land of fruits and nuts," might it have been offensive to some? Probably, but I found it amusing in context.

5. What an ass! California is a State!

6. I'm pretty sure it was in the context of a joke.

Conan's a very intelligent and cultured guy. He certainly wouldn't say something like that in seriousness.

8. I believe he was making comments about blue states but....

If I can find the video on the net I'll confirm

7. Chill guys - it was a joke (not a good one, but joke)

The context was "Red State names for Blue States".

Examples:
Wisconsin in WussConsin, etc

9. sounds like Jesse Jackson

except for him, New York was 'hymie town'

Bastard.

10. "Homo Town" is not an insult

I've had a few people ask if I'm a gay man. I respond by saying, "No, but thanks for the compliment."

11. sounds good to me

Doesn't hurt to be a little cleaner, better-dressed, and more intelligent than the average bear. I'm all for homo town. It sounds like a nice place to live.
