This is upsetting on so many levels. My DVD copy of UHF will never be looked at the same way...

It gets worse. He's secured a renowned PR guy:

Now he can officially grovel for forgiveness and everyone he offended can wag their fingers at him.

I wish there was footage of what the hecklers were saying. If it was something offensive (well, more offensive than just heckling), i can understand the situation getting out of hand. But since the guy is saying in the video "i'm a fan" i'm assuming (and this could be totally bogus) that the guy was trying too hard to be a part of the act. You know, like...
Richards: So i was in McDonalds yesterday...
Heckler: I love McDonalds!
Richards: ...and i ordered a Big Mac and fries...
Heckler: Big Macs are the best!
Granted, that is annoying, but as others have said, you need a thick skin to be a standup, and no matter what, racial slurs are not cool.

I think Richards was just really mad about being interrupted. He made racist comments not because he is racist, but because he was trying to attack the hecklers via offending them. I'm sure if homosexual did the heckling, Richards would have been making homophobic comments. |

I like hecklers for the simple reason they bring out the best in some comedians. I find nothing funnier than a heckler being put in their place by the comic's wit/humour.

The video clip doesn't have subtitles for all the was said. At one stage when everyone was getting up and leaving, Richards goes to the right of the screen muttering about rehab (he repeated it three times, which was something he did a lot of in the clip)
Also, the heckler said "I like you" and "i'm a fan" but this couldn't really be heard when Richards was shouting at him (i think it was around the time he was saying "that's uncalled for"). That's kind of sad. Obviously the guy liked Richards

You got that right.

Today at work I had to deal with a bit of fallout over this.
A black co-worker suggested that each of his white coworkers is capable of such an outburst. Lurks just beneath the surface. He was applauded by other blacks.
How he could say something of the sort, after having faced no racism in the workplace, and be cheered for such counterproductive bullshitting, offended the living hell out of me. It wasn't said in the heat of the moment. There wasn't an argument to be won. It was, in his opinion, a statement of fact.

Fuck that. Shocked to see what was buried underneath.
-
Mayhaps he (edit:Richards) was going for an Andy Kaufman meltdown/weirdness?
