You must now see my point in "Site Ideas", why some non-subs should only be allowed 10 postings per day, and in your case I would vote for 10 per week, and be giving you 3 more than I think you deserved!
Perhaps if you could get two days of soberiety and put them together, then read over your useless drivel, it might wake you up and make you realize yo ...[text shortened]... you can with your spineless potshots. They are far more forgiving than most would be with you.

I would also add that Eric idle played may roles. we're not talking about a single 10 second black-face appearance here by the BWA. We are talking aperpetual, never-ending, lampoon.
Eric Idle in the clip linked to is:
A) Perpetuating a racial stereotype to ridicule blacks; or
B) Parodying a racial stereotype to show how absurd said stereotype is?
