A virtual attempt to lynch Jamie Foxx over his Miley Cyrus jokes has unfortunately resulted if Foxx having to grovel for forgiveness on Leno.
“I so apologize … and this is sincere,” Foxx said. “I am a comedian, and you guys know that whatever I say, I don’t mean any of it. And sometimes, as comedians, as we do, we go a little bit too far. I have a radio show… We’re really the black Howard Stern. We go at everybody. There was a situation with Miley Cyrus, and I just want to say, I apologize for what I said. I didn’t mean it maliciously. You know I’m a comedian. You know my heart. Miley, I apologize, so I’ll call you. I got a daughter too, so I completely understand.”
The general outrage over Foxx’s comments seems to have centered on the fact that Miley wasn’t fair game because she’s “only 16.” So apparently it’s wrong for Foxx to joke about Miley, but it’s ok for Miley to mock Asians (and then give an insincere apology for doing so), act like a prima dona over Radiohead (including threatening to ruin their careers) and to insult fans of Lewis Carroll and Disney movies by saying that Alice in Wonderland is all about drugs, because she’s “only 16.”
18 can’t come quickly enough for Miley, then hopefully it will be open season.
Here’s the video of Jamie Foxx groveling for forgiveness for daring to attack Saint Miley:

Miley never did anything with the intent of hurting anyone or insulting anyone. Jamie Foxx's rant was intentional.Jamie Foxx did intentional mean to insult and cause emotional harm. How about comparing Apples to Apples and not Apples to Oranges.
Asian Pics. Taken in private. Never intended harm. Never intended to be released. She did apologize. Just because you didn't like it doesn't mean it was sincere.
RadioHead is in the entertainment business, which includesmeeting your fans. If I didn't do all of my job, but only part of it, I would be fired. If Radiohead chooses not to meet their fans as part of thier job, then they should get out of the business and start playing for themselves in their garage. Besides, the next interview Miely did she said she was still a fan and still listen to their music. Did anyone pick up on that. NO. They didn't because it was positive news and no one likes positive news. Also, anyone who listen to Miley or knew she was kidding.
“Google” “Alice in Wonderland” and Drugs. You will find a bunch of stories about how “Alice in Wonderland” is about Drug use, primarily Opium. I have heard these stories for 30 years now, so it's no suprise to me that Miley knew about them. So why rage on her for something that any literate person and student of history already knew. The only thing she got wrong was the type of drug. She thought it was ecstacy.
Miley is a teenager, not an adult. She is a teenage first and an entertainer second. She acts like a teenager most of the time and should be allowed to make mistakes like any other teenager, not be held to a higher standard just because of her job, by you or anyone else. None of her so called transgression are any worse than most other teenagers transgressions. In fact she appears to be much better behaved than most teenagers. She doesn't act like she entitled or a prima dona. She does a lot of good for others, so why do people only see the unfortunate mistakes she makes as she grows up.

I am not sure that Jamie Fox is a comedian… cause his is not funny!!!
He should be boycotted and his radio show shut down. He is a racist and now he has proven it to all the world.
“stupid white bitch”????? Sounds racist to me! Imus was tame when compared to Fox….
I though Imus was a “shock jock” also…. Jamie Fox you suck and your lame cover up and excuses suck… If I see you on the street… it is on… I will kick your racist ass!
