Jerry Seinfeld has already responded:izzyB said:i agree 100%. mr. izzyB and i adored this show, but how can we ever look at it in the same light knowing what we now know about michael richards?
jerry seinfeld is to be on one of the late night talk shows tonite, monday...maybe letterman??? i wonder if this will be mentioned?!
what a complete shame. if this is really how he feels i hope show biz is through with him b/c he contributes nothing to society with that type of attitude.

HOWEVER - The heckler can't talk anymore - he shouted racist names back.
If you're going to claim to be offended by a behavior, you can't do it yourself.
That said: Everyone ELSE in the audience that was TRUELY offended - who simply got up and left - who never heckled to begin with - I feel terrible for them and their evening being ruined.

I remember the time I was stressed out and blew it in front of a classroom of 5th graders. They were treating the "real" teacher SO BADLY and were great for me. It made the teacher become jealous and horrid to ME - so I confronted the class and said (and I quote) "You are treating her like POND SCUM" (in the middle of my tirade about their poor behavior.)michelle said:He went off the deep end, what a pig!
Well screaming the "N" word is clearly being a pig, lol...I dont think you qualify.GlitchWizard said:I remember the time I was stressed out and blew it in front of a classroom of 5th graders.

One kid goes back and says "Miss Barbara called us Pond Scum."
I felt like the Kramer dude does now. "Oh Crap! I lost it."
(That doesn't mean he wasn't a pig. I guess I was saying I was once a pig too.)
Exactly, what was "kramer" thinking. I mean clearly it wasnt funny at all! I would demand my money back. I would have been so mad if I was there.2luvmy said:Well...pond scum and the "N" word are two different things, that produce two different images in my head.
