Send us an apology you would like to make and we’ll read it on the podcast and give you the chance to redeem yourself or just get some guilt off your shoulders. We’re here for you, once a week, maybe more if you are really, really sorry.

Some words just don’t get to be spoken by some people. That’s just how it goes. But sometimes people use words they shouldn’t anyway, in places they shouldn’t, and at times they shouldn’t. Jeffery Singer found out the hard way that the N-word is one of those words: it shouldn’t be used by some people, in any place at any time under any circumstances. His use of the N-word while auditioning comics for Canada’s “Just for Laughs” comedy program resulted in his resignation and the public statement from the festival organizers informing everyone that they will not tolerate unprofessional behavior in the work place. Indeed, they find it vexatious!
It was a bit more than just using the N-word publicly that forced Jeffery to resign - accusations of sexual harassment, homophobia, and sexy S&M (if you know, you know) were levied against him by numerous comedians who are not laughing as one of Canada’s most influential taste-makers learns the hard way that sorry is not the hardest word.
