Eddie Murphy still apologizes for shit he said on delirious and raw, comedy specials, and that was nearly 4 decades ago.
There is no need to apologize for shit you said ages ago in the name of comedy. I'm sure there were gays in the audience back then laughing at the jokes. They are jokes. Everyone is simply ultra fucking sensitive these days and get offended by a shift in the breeze interrupting their moment of serenity.
I'd say, grow some balls, but it might offend someone considering the tight ass pants everyone wears .
