Giving this it's own thread because a lot of people still blaming Black. He did laugh a little bit.
Black has posted admitting it was a fucked up thing to say and cancelling the rest of the Tenacious D tour.
Black is being disingenuous. His tour was going to be cancelled for him whether he liked it or not, so he just smartly got out ahead of it. And I seriously doubt he was blindsided by anything. Gass's sentiment and Black's reaction show what they truly feel. Everything else is just a phony apology, probably demanded by Disney if Black wants to keep pimping himself for Kung Fu Panda sequels. It was lame of him to throw Gass under the bus. The guy has been his friend for something like 30 years. Black could've just said, "He made a dumb, insensitive comment. I disagree with it, but I stand by my friend. He's not the bad guy everyone is making him out to be." Instead, Black dumped the whole sordid incident on Gass, despite his laughing along with it and implicitly signaling to the crowd that the comment was perfectly acceptable to him.

shareMartoto, you got to calm down buddy. Take a chill pill, sheesh.
shareI'm not the one that's writing walls of text because they're clearly desperate to see Jack Black get a spanking for what someone else said.
shareRelax, sport. No need to have a chemical meltdown. Black agreed with what his bandmate said. If he was as offended as he later pretended to be once he descended into career-saving mode, he would've indicated so on the spot, prior to realizing all the backlash.
shareAnd your panties are still in a twist about it.
shareNah, but if they were then no more than yours are. Really I was just compelled to point out that Black's gesture of canceling the tour and acting like it was his decision was a fake one.
shareYou're really upset and preoccupied with what you think Black's decision me be based on or if it's sincere aren't you?
You're actually upset that there have been consequences for him and that he hasn't just belligerently moved ahead unapologetically.
You need to get a life. Stop curtain twitching.
