Finally a comedian who refuses to apologize
01-03-2014, 11:21 PM
After collecting criticism for an
offensive joke she made on New Year's Eve, Wall Survivor Natasha Leggero has written an
open letter with her bold response: "I'm not sorry."
The controversy began during NBC's New Year's Eve With Carson Daly, when Daly was chatting with Leggero, Jane Lynch and Anthony Anderson about a tweet that SpaghettiOs sent on Pearl Harbor day. Along with a picture of the food's mascot holding an American flag, the company tweeted, "Take a moment to remember #PearlHarbor with us."
By the way, Leggero has a hilarious YouTube show she co-hosts with Moshe Kasher (NSFW videos):

That's because women won't have their careers ruined for standing strong like a man and taking no lip from no one.
Only a man would be punished for sticking to his guns.

Whether she'd get equal punishment as a man is not important - It's still a bold move in todays world, and should be applauded.
Perhaps it will embolden others, whether man woman or child, to stick to their guns in future.

Hating on a comedian only gives them more ammunition. Silence is what kills them (but only if most people are silent; if you're the only one silent then it doesn't matter).

It takes no courage for a hot woman to refuse to apologize to old white men.
Phil Robertson has bigger cajones.

Comedians are anti-fragile. The more controversy and chaos they stir up the more they prosper. This was actually the right move if she was looking to further increase her fame.
If someone like a politician or CEO didn't apologize for some tasteless remark that they had made then I would be truly impressed.
