Dane Cook Apologizes for Colorado Massacre Joke
Comedian Dane Cook apologized via Twitter Friday for his insensitive joke on Thursday night at the Laugh Factory about the Colorado massacre:
I am devastated by the recent tragedy in Colorado & did not mean to make light of what happened. I made a bad judgment call with my material last night & regret making a joke at such a sensitive time. My heart goes out to all of the families & friends of the victims.
In case you missed it, this was his “joke”:
“So I heard that the guy came into the theater about 25 minutes into the movie … And I don’t know if you’ve seen the movie, but the movie is pretty much a piece of crap … yeah, spoiler alert.”
