I RR'ed this, because I can see the cheeseburger gags coming........

Epilepsy sufferers, as we all know, are great at involuntarily shaking around when they’re in the midst of an epileptic fit. But the rest of the time, they could sure stand to loosen up!
At least that’s what Al Roker has learned, after his “haha, you’ve got epilepsy!” jokes last week inspired a wholly unexpected backlash.
“Remember that controversial Olympic logo for the 2012 Olympics in London? Some folks have complained that the campaign actually sent them into epileptic seizures,” Roker said on Thursday’s show.
“Well, we asked you to weigh in on our Web site in an informal poll; those of you who could get up off the floor after shaking around were able to actually log in . . . ”
The next day, Roker apologized on the air, saying, “We were joking about the logo - not about epilepsy. If anybody was offended, I heartily and really humbly apologize.”
Roker then clarified that he was laughing with epilepsy, and not at epilepsy, adding, “And, if you don’t like it, why don’t you suddenly—and without warning—lose consciousness, fall to the floor, froth at the mouth, and rhythmically jerk your extremities about it?”

Yet he goes around Imus's back an MSNBC, cries to top brass to fire him.
Jack-hole.

When the Imus shoe is on the other footON APRIL 10, Weatherman Al Roker said of Don Imus: "I, for one, am really tired of the diatribes, the 'humor' at others' expense, the cruelty that passes for 'funny.' "
He said Imus "must be fired" for his comments about the Rutgers female basketball players. He needs to "take his punishment and start over."

Fast forward to an episode of the "Today" show on June 7. They were discussing the awful Olympic logo for the 2012 games in London that have been said to cause epileptic seizures.

Al said that there was an informal web poll asking people what they thought of the logo - and he said, "Well, we asked you to weigh in on our web site in an informal poll - those of you who could get up off the floor after shaking around were able to actually log in."

Isn't this "humor" at others' expense? I'm sure millions of Americans with epilepsy were hurt by the comment. It wouldn't be a big deal, except that Roker opened his yap about Imus. Just tell us what the weather in Tucson is.

I hope the epilepsy horde goes after him. He went for the laugh. Now he must pay.

Tasteless on my part, but wouldn't he just have to throw this up somewhere if they came for him?
