Lisa Lampanelli: I was always [wondering] if God would maybe think my act was awful and make me deaf so I can’t do comedy no more, ’cause that’s why people are deaf; ’cause god hates them.

Male DJ: Now, listen, Lisa.

LL: God hates deaf people, what is wrong with you?

Male DJ: There are gonna be a lot of deaf people there.

LL: Oh, I hope so.

Female DJ: Well there will be. There’s a college within RIT that’s specifically for deaf students.

LL: Don’t you think deaf students, could be maybe just retarded, and they’re trying to sneak by saying they are deaf?

Male DJ: Lighten up a little bit.

Female DJ: You can’t make deaf jokes in this town. (The DJ’s quickly change the subject of conversation.)

Now, my question, what is the difference between Imus and Lampanelli? To me, NONE. At least Imus apologized that he made the “ho” statement, but Lampanelli didn’t give any crap. She went ahead with a show at RIT and without any apology to deaf community for the statement that she made.

It just appalled me greatly that Lampanelli still has a show at Comedy network and Imus was fired from NBC and CBS for making that statement. It makes me to wonder if we are being ignored.
