To anyone who found my previous comment racist, that wasn't my intention at all. Others on this board would've started a flame war over the replies I got to my post, but I'm going to take the high road and apologize to anyone who was offended. I have deleted the questionable post.

Except for the people you took a completely random shot at in the first clause of this sentence, and in so doing totally negated any sincerity your "apology" might have had?

Not negating any sincerity at all. I can understand why you would think my apology wasn't sincere, but I can assure you, it was, and I had no intention on offending anyone or taking a shot at anyone. I admit, I said something I should not have said.

Just wondering ... if he had thrown in a "word to your mother" for the Vanilla Ice reference, would that have negated any racism?

No. Eminem would have been offended.

I don't get where the accusations of racism are coming from in the first place. I've heard people of all of colors and creeds talk like that. It's a hip-hop thing, not a black thing.

Well, I got the call from the casting people today -- I'm going to be a contestant on Hip Hop Squares.

Bam Margera tweeted a photo that shows a portion of the celebrity grid. You don't see much, but I'm pretty intrigued by what I do see. Doesn't look bad in my opinion. They went with "club theme" over "urban theme" and I think aesthetically, that's a smart move.

This won't be the first time I've watched a game show and not known any of the celebrities, but it'll be the first time that I don't even expect to know any.

The show is a weekly one, correct?

Well, the description on MTV's website is fitting. Kinda nice to know they aren't trying to be something they're not. This is the first time I've heard of Hollywood Squares being described as "the ultimate game of BS".

"Remember Hollywood Squares? If not, it doesn't even matter. Hip Hop Squares takes that classic game show you may have just Googled to a whole new level, by remixing it with hip hop's heavyweights and their fans. Hosted by Peter Rosenberg, Hip Hop Squares will bring together comedy's coolest cats, ace athletes and pop-culture personalities, so keep your eyes on the squares for the likes of Nick Cannon, Bam Margera, Kat Graham, DJ Khaled, Ghostface Killah, Fat Joe, Mac Miller, and many more.

More than just a game of tic-tac-toe, Hip Hop Squares is the ultimate game of BS. MTV2 for the win!"

pop-culture personalities...Bam Margera

Is this what we call famous-for-being-famous now?

/or are we rightly assigning a level of fame to people who fire bottle rockets out of their asses?
//in a related story; Burger King sounds kinda good for lunch

Point taken, but why not go for one of their more famous names? Better him than one of the Jersey Shore folks. Speaking of which, here's my Easter present to you guys.
