As I speculated in this post, Pauly Shore’s racist diatribe a couple of weeks ago was all to publicize his new movie. The video above proves the whole thing to be a hoax (notice the quick flash of Stereohyped’s Technorati page — we’re famous!), with Charlie Murphy, Katt Wiliams, and Vivica Fox admitting that they were all in on the joke. Pauly Shore seems pretty proud of himself, but let’s really analyze what he accomplished here. He got everyone to think he was racist and reaffirmed the generally held notion that he was an idiot, far fewer people will see this “it was all a joke!” video than saw the original, and, most importantly, there’s still not a single soul who’s actually going to buy his movie. Long story short — the world now thinks he’s racist and Katt Williams is still more successful than he is. Well-thought-out marketing plan, this was not.

Party boy and occasional comedian Pauly Shore is taking a cue from bitter hatemongers and blaming his anemic career on his skin color (or lack thereof). “I need to be black,” Shore recently told an interviewer, “because if I was black, I’d be doing good.” Well, Pauly. You’d be doing well. And no, you wouldn’t.

Shore continued: “White people are screwed. Especially in my industry, they’re screwed. White people are going to be picking cotton within, like, literally within three years.” Brilliant! How is this guy not getting hired?

Perhaps because I have no interest in looking at pictures of Katt Williams and suspected the same about you guys, I missed these photos of the diminutive comedian wearing a noose around his neck on the red carpet at the BET Hip Hop Awards. Hilarious*, especially considering two of the Jena Six were also in attendance.

*But, of course, not really.

The only people who will ever really know what happened at Flavor Flav’s Comedy Central roast this weekend are the ones who were in attendance, because the comedy network can’t air a lot of it during the August 12 broadcast.

For example, they won’t hear the N-word which was used 11 times by presenters including Snoop Dogg, Ice-T and comedian Katt Williams, The Post’s Mandy Stadtmiller reports. The rowdy roast in Los Angeles over the weekend also saw the word “bitch” used 16 times; “pimp,” 14 times; “ho,” 12 times; “whore,” seven times, “crack,” five times, and “hookers,” three times.

I didn’t know pimp, crack, and hooker were off limits, but in these post-wardrobe malfunction days I’m not surprised at censorship. I am surprised that Snoop, Ice-T, and Katt Williams only said the n-word 11 times. The NAACP would be proud of their restraint! If, of course, they hadn’t been attending the roast of a guy who’s TV show does the opposite of advancing colored people.
