LAUGH FACTORY WANTS JESSE TO PAY FOR N-WORD: Owner Jamie Masada says he should pay a fine like comics on his stage.(July 21, 2008)
*Laugh Factory owner Jamie Masada, who has had some experience in dealing with the N-word spewing forth from his stage, says Jesse Jackson should be fined for his recent public use of the racist term. After the Michael Richards episode two years ago, when the actor repeatedly shouted the N-word at a black patron, Rev. Jackson joined Masada in calling for the term to be banned at the Laugh Factory. Since the outburst, Masada has fined comics $50 for every time they use the word on stage. "Unfortunately, Jesse Jackson has broken his own principles," Masada told The Associated Press. "Jesse embraced the notion of fining talent for using such a word and he should be held to his own standards."
Jamie Masada Masada also wants Rev. Jackson to pay the same amount to the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles. Fox News confirmed Thursday that Jackson used the word during a break in a TV interview when he criticized Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.
