In the scheme of my day-to-day life Al Roker plays a pretty insignificant part. OK, I’ll be honest- he really doesn’t factor in at all. Still, I found the following comments interesting:
A month or so ago, during the whole Imus brouhaha, Roker wrote this on his blog:
“I, for one, am really tired of the diatribes, the ‘humor’ at other’s expense, the cruelty that passes for ‘funny.”
On June 7th Roker said this regarding the new Olympic logo that has reportedly caused seizures in some people:
“Some folks have complained that the campaign actually sent them into epileptic seizures. 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 . . . “
I have a problem with people who express mock outrage at comments made by others and then go out and demonstate similar insensitivity with their own comments.
Al: if you wanna talk the talk, you gotta walk the walk.
