Steve Martin Apologizes Over Racially Insensitive Tweet.

Steve Martin.
These so called celebrities will not learn to watch what they say. Less than a week after Justine Sacco - Communications Director for a major company tweeted a very insensitive comment stating that 'Going to Africa. Hope I don't get AIDS. Just Kidding. I'm White!' and the firestorm created by her stupidity is yet to die down, another celebrity - Steve Martin tweeted, when asked by a Twitter follower, 'Is this how you spell lasonia?,' his response was 'It depends. Are you in an African-American neighborhood or at an Italian restaurant?' - Really Steve? He later apologized after being labeled a racist. What do you think about comment like these, are you offended or do you find them funny?

I like Steve, I am sure he meant no hard, he was just trying to be funny.

I don't find it funny at all. No excuse for stupidity, just saying.
