Comedian says sorry to Pacquiao, Filipinos
MANILA, Philippines – Adam Carolla, the American comedian who let out disparaging remarks against Manny Pacquiao and the Filipinos in a podcast, has reportedly apologized for “crossing the line.”
“Read your comments. Sorry if I offended many of u. I don't preplan my commentary. I try to be provocative, funny but I crossed the line & im sorry,” Carolla said in his verified Twitter account. (http://twitter.com/adamCarolla)
Carolla earlier said on-air that 7-division world champion Pacquiao was illiterate, “brain-damaged” and a “f*****’ idiot.”
He also attacked Pacquiao’s refusal to undergo Olympic-style drug testing as demanded by undefeated American fighter Floyd Mayweather, Jr. (Read his comments here: US comedian calls Pacquiao 'illiterate', bashes Pinoys)
“By the way, I think manny is a great fighter,” Carolla added in another tweet. The American radio personality and television host currently has 71,277 followers.
Malacañang earlier played down Carolla’s tirade against Pacquiao and the Philippines on Monday.
Deputy presidential spokesman Gary OIivar said the Philippines need not seek an apology from the comedian since he belongs to a “sick minority.”
Olivar added that Carolla’s comments did not carry weight anywhere and deserved to be ignored.
The American host of “The Adam Carolla Podcast” also told Filipinos to get a life because he thought that they were all about Pacquiao.
“Here's how you know your country doesn’t have a lot going for it—when everything is about Manny Pacquiao,” he went on. “Get a f****n’ life as a country, all you’ve f****n’ got is this illiterate guy who won't give up blood who happens to smash other guys in the head better than other people, that's all you have as the Philippines?”
Moreover, he questioned Pacquiao’s congressional bid in the May 10 polls and even brought up the issue of sex trade in the country.
“Really, you want some guy with brain damage running your country? Why don't you get your sh*t together?”
He went on: “They got this and sex tours, that's all they have over there. Get your sh*t together Philippines. Jesus Christ. I mean, again, it's fine to be proud of your countrymen. But that's it? That's all you got?” – With a report from ANC

That's FUNNY!
When you are in need of health care, don't tell your nurses or therapists what you said because that's gonna be so FUNNY! This is typical white trash ideas. (and they ask cluelessly, "Why is the world so angry towards us?" DUH! One of these days we'll see you in a hospital...ttanda ka rin. Lol! Good luck na lang sa'yo.
@ bongV
you are an absolute joke who knows no better
Well, since this "comedian" tried to be funny...
Let's get "historical"... Hmmm I'd rather be known to be a fan of Pacquiao than a descendant of Mousillini (Adolf Hitler's lap dog)...
Someday Filipinos will get the appreciation and respect we lack, it's quite easy to make us the "target of negativity"... a lot of rich countries still benefit from our poverty and divisions...
When I was stationed in Iraq... this British guy was mean to us Filipinos... even if I was in uniform.. no respect was given... but one night.. as he was driving back from his projoects.. his pick up got ran over by an Abrahms tank... and guess what nationality the tank driver was... but of course... it was all "coincidence" =) Kaya dapat mag ingat yang unghang na yan... the guy was alive and well and hopefully he'll stop hating people who were never a threat to him in the first place... A Pinoy medic made sure he was alive... =)
