Leftist sensitivity on display

I think we can assume with some safety that the three individuals (I hesitate to call them men) mentioned below are on the Left. Most of the entertainment industy is:

"A writer for the US animated comedy program Family Guy has apologised after making a joke linking Japan's massive earthquake-tsunami disaster to the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbour.

In a message on Twitter about Friday's earthquake, scriptwriter Alec Sulkin wrote: "If you wanna feel better about this earthquake in Japan, google 'Pearl Harbor death toll."'

The reference to imperial Japan's sneak attack on US forces in Hawaii, which killed about 2500 people, set off a storm of criticism over the internet.

Sulkin apologised and deleted the message, explaining that he wrote it when he believed the death toll was lower.

Rapper 50 Cent has sparked outrage after mocking the Japanese earthquake victims. As the death toll continues to climb from the devastating 9.0 earthquake the singer took to his Twitter account to comment on the catastrophe. 'Look this is very serious people I had to evacuate all my hoes from LA, Hawaii and Japan. I had to do it. Lol,' he Tweeted.

He added shortly afterwards, 'Nah this is nuts but what can anyone do about it. Let’s pray for anyone who has lost someone.'

The rapper later admitted that he Tweets for shock value, saying: 'Some of my tweets are ignorant I do it for shock value. Hate it or love it. I’m cool either way 50cent.”

He sent out his remarks on the social networking site as millions on the west coast of America were put on a tsunami alert following the disaster in Japan. 'Wave will hit 8am them crazy white boys gonna try to go surfing.' he tweeted.

American comedian Gilbert Gottfried also made vile jokes about the devastating disaster.

'I just split up with my girlfriend, but like the Japanese say, "They'll be another one floating by any minute now," Gottfried, 56, tweeted on Saturday.

He added: 'What does every Japanese person have in their apartment? Flood lights.'

Gottfried has now been fired from insurance company Aflac as the voice of the duck in the ad campaigns. 'Gilbert’s recent comments about the crisis in Japan were lacking in humor and certainly do not represent the thoughts and feelings of anyone at Aflac,' a spokesman for the firm told TMZ.

All three are proof of how unwise censorship is. By letting them say what they want, we get to see the shallowness and ugliness of their character.
